20 Behold, I stand at the door and ^zknock. ^aIf anyone hears my voice and opens the door, ^bI will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

36 and be like men who are ^cwaiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and ^dknocks. 37 ^eBlessed are those servants¹ whom the master finds ^eawake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, ^fhe will dress himself for service and ^ghave them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.

33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, ^cat the very gates.

8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and ^hdress properly,¹ and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

21 ^pWhoever has my commandments and ^qkeeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^rhe who loves me ^swill be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ^tmanifest myself to him.” 22 ^uJudas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ^vthat you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, ^w“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ^xwe will come to him and ^ymake our home with him.

9 And the angel said¹ to me, “Write this: ^eBlessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, ^f“These are the true words of God.”
