“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in ^awhite robes, and where did they come from?”

14 And I said to him,¹ “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, ^a“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and ^bwashed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will ^adwell among them.

16 ^aThey shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; ^bthe sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

Revelation 7:14

Sir, thou knowest - That is, I do not know, but thou canst inform me.

Came out of great tribulation - Persecutions of every kind.

And have washed their robes - Have obtained their pardon and purity, through the blood of the Lamb.

Their white robes cannot mean the righteousness of Christ, for this cannot be washed and made white in his own blood. This white linen is said to be the righteousness of the saints, Revelation 19:8, and this is the righteousness in which they stand before the throne; therefore it is not Christ' s righteousness, but it is a righteousness wrought in them by the merit of his blood, and the power of his Spirit.
