Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Shall wipe away every tear from their eyes (ecaleiyei pan dakruon ek twn ofqalmwn autwn). More exactly, "shall wipe out every tear out of their eyes" (repetition of ec) like a tender mother as in Revelation 7:17 (Isaiah 25:8). There is no more that ought to cause a tear, for death (qanatov) is no more, mourning (penqov), associated with death and crying (kraugh, wailing), and pain (ponov as in Revelation 16:10) are all gone. There is peace and bliss.
