Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

22:16 I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne: Jesus validates the message of Revelation (cp. John 21:24) by swearing that he is simultaneously the source of David (see Rev 5:5; Isa 11:10) and David’s heir (see Ezek 37:23-24; Rom 1:3).
• The morning star was a name for the Messiah (see Num 24:17; 2 Pet 1:19; cp. Luke 1:78-79).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
μαρτυρῆσαι ὑμῖν ταῦτα ἐπὶ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις
/to/_testify ˱to˲_you_all these_‹things› in the assemblies
Here the word you is plural. Alternate translation: “to testify to all of you in the churches about these things that concern you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡ ῥίζα καὶ τὸ γένος Δαυείδ
the root and the descent (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγὼ Ἰησοῦς ἔπεμψα τὸν ἄγγελόν μου μαρτυρῆσαι ὑμῖν ταῦτα ἐπὶ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ῥίζα καὶ τὸ γένος Δαυίδ ὁ ἀστὴρ ὁ λαμπρός ὁ πρωϊνός)
Jesus is speaking as if here were literally the root of a tree. He means that David came from him, just as a tree comes from its roots. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “both the source and the offspring of David”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἀστὴρ ὁ λαμπρός, ὁ πρωϊνός
the star ¬the shining ¬the morning
Jesus is also speaking of himself as if he were the bright star that sometimes appears early in the morning and indicates that a new day is about to begin. Alternate translation: “the sign that God is beginning a new era”
