# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Verse 15 is a break from the main story line of John's vision. These are words spoken by Jesus. The story line continues in verse 16.
|
|
|
|
# Look! I am coming ... his shameful condition
|
|
|
|
This is in parentheses to show that it is not part of the story line in the vision. Rather, this is something that the Lord Jesus said. It can be stated clearly that the Lord Jesus said this, as in the UDB. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

|
|
# I am coming as a thief
|
|
|
|
Jesus will come at a time when people do not expect him, just as a thief comes when not expected. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Revelation 3:3](../03/03.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

# keeping his garments on
|
|
|
|
Living the right way is spoken of as keeping one's clothes on. Alternate translation: "doing what is right, like keeping his clothes on" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# keeping his garments on
|
|
|
|
Some versions translate this as, "keeping his garments with him."
|
|
|
|
# they see his shameful condition
|
|
|
|
Here the word "they" refers to other people.
