1230. * I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus.- That this signifies that he is like men on earth who receive and have received Divine Truth from the Lord is evident from the signification of thy servant, as denoting that he is like John in serving the Lord; from the signification of thy fellow-servant, as denoting that he is like men on earth also in serving the Lord, and from the signification of having the testimony of Jesus, as denoting to receive Divine Truth from the Lord. For testimony when said of the Lord signifies acknowledgment of the Lord's Divine in his Human (as may be seen above, n. 27, 392, 635, 649); also reception of Divine Truth from the Lord, and acknowledgment of Him by means of it (n. 10, 228, 625). * The conclusion of the exposition of verse 10, here translated, is found at the end of the Photolithograph MS.; it was not contained in the previous edition of this volume. -Translator.
