‏ Revelation of John 22:9

See thou do it not ( Hορα μη ). The angel promptly interposes ( λεγε, dramatic present). See 19:10 for discussion of this same phrase ορα μη when John had once before started to worship the angel in his excitement. Here we have added to the words in 19:10 "the prophets ( των προφητων ) and also "them which keep the words of this book" ( των τηρουντων τους λογους του βιβλιου τουτου ), the last a repetition from 22:7. In both places we have "Worship God" ( τω θεω προσκυνησον ). And not an angel.
