Revelation of John 22:8
And I John ( Καγω Ιωαννης ). Here John the Seer is the speaker. He had already given his name (1:1, 4, 9). Here he claims to be the "one who hears and sees these things" ( ο ακουων κα βλεπων ταυτα ).I fell down to worship ( επεσα προσκυνησα ). Second aorist active indicative of πιπτω (with -α form) and the first aorist active infinitive of purpose of προσκυνεω. It was a natural, though a wrong, thing to do, especially after Christ's own voice followed that of the angel "which shewed me these things" ( του δεικνυοντος ταυτα ). Genitive singular of the articular present active participle of δεικνυω. Cf. 1:1; 4:1; 17:1; 21:9f.; 22:1, 6.
