Commentary
sat--Greek, "sitteth." all things new--not recent, but changed from the old (Greek, "kaina," not "nea"). An earnest of this regeneration and transfiguration of nature is given already in the regenerate soul. unto me--so Coptic and ANDREAS. But A, B, Vulgate, and Syriac omit. true and faithful--so ANDREAS. But A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic transpose, "faithful and true" (literally, "genuine").
