Greek text · Dindorf 4:328

εἶπε γὰρ ἄν τι τούτων τῶν προδεδηλωμένων, σαφῶς ἑαυτὸν ἐμφα- “νίσαι βουλόμενος. ἀλλὰ τούτων μὲν οὐδὲν, ἀδελφὸν “δὲ ἡμῶν καὶ συγκοινωνὸν εἶπε καὶ μάρτυρα Ἰησοῦ “καὶ μακάριον ἐπὶ τῇ θέᾳ καὶ ἀκοῇ τῶν ἀποκαλύ- “ψεων.

English · Claude translation

For he would have said one of these things already mentioned, if he wished to reveal himself clearly. But he says none of these, but calls himself our brother and companion, and a witness of Jesus, and blessed for the sight and hearing of the revelations.
