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.  ‡

17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne ^awill shepherd them and lead them to¹ living fountains of waters. ^bAnd God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” ‡
