This book

This book has ECM (Editio Critica Maior) apparatus at many verses — hover shows manuscripts cited at that verse. The full book catalog (all manuscripts containing Revelation) is available too.

The chapter view is for reading and quick manuscript discovery. Hover verse superscripts for a preview; open the verse page for full lists, timelines, and analysis tools.

Two manuscript lists

ECM books show both lists: witnesses at this verse (ECM) and all manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (book catalog). The book catalog is the same at every verse in the book.

Book catalog
Manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (from the Kurzgefaßte Liste catalog). The same list appears at every verse — it is not verse-specific attestation.
ECM (Editio Critica Maior)
The Editio Critica Maior (ECM) is the scholarly critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Its apparatus records which manuscripts attest each textual variant at a specific verse.
ECM at this verse
Manuscripts cited in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) apparatus at this specific verse — witnesses for textual variants here. This is usually a smaller set than the full book catalog.

ECM Books tagged ECM have verse-level textual apparatus from the Editio Critica Maior. Other NT books still show the full book-level manuscript catalog on hover.

1Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.2The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.”3And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.5And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.6I could see that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and witnesses for Jesus. And I was utterly amazed at the sight of her.7“Why are you so amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.8The beast that you saw—it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be.9This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.10There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. But when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.11The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction.12The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings along with the beast.13These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast.14They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”15Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.16And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.17For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.18And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
