13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”

And one of the elders reacted, saying to me, “Who are these that are clothed in the white robes, and where did they come from?”

14 I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering. They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

So I said to him, “My lord, you know.” So he said to me: “These are those who come out of the Great Tribulation—they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary. And He who sits on the throne will shelter them.

16 They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;

They shall not hunger anymore, nor thirst anymore; the sun will absolutely not strike them, nor any heat;

17 for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
