revelation 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

revelation 1:2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, [even] to all that he saw.

2. bare record of--"testified the word of God" in this book. Where we would say "testifies," the ancients in epistolary communications use the past tense. The word of God constitutes his testimony; Re 1:3, "the words of this prophecy."
the testimony of Jesus--"the Spirit of prophecy" (Re 19:10).
and of all things that, &c.--The oldest manuscripts omit "and." Translate, "whatsoever things he saw," in apposition with "the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ."

revelation 1:2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, [even] to all that he saw.
