ἔρχομαι (erchomai) in Revelation 22:20: Verb First Person Singular Present Middle or Passive Deponent Indicative

Verb: the form names an action or state, here the lexeme ἔρχομαι in a spoken clause.

Present: often views the action as in progress, customary, or presently in view. Context decides the exact force.

Middle or Passive Deponent: uses a middle or passive form traditionally read with active sense. The lexeme and sentence still govern the meaning.

Indicative: presents the verbal idea as an assertion or statement in the clause.

First person: the speaker or speakers are grammatically involved in the verbal form.

Not applicable: this verb form is not using noun case to mark its sentence role.

Singular: the form is singular in person marking and refers to a single speaker in the line.

Not applicable: this verb form does not use grammatical gender to make its point.

Ναί, ἔρχομαι ταχύ.

The form is governed by the direct speech frame and the nearby adverb ταχύ, which shapes it as a brief present assertion of coming.

It functions as the speaker's self-attested declaration, communicating imminent coming in the flow of the verse.

It is not a case of a noun, not a participle, and not a command form in this token.

High: The first person present declaration is part of the closing promise, 'I am coming quickly.'

Present middle or passive deponent indicative, first person singular. states the speaker's own coming as an immediate promise. Attached to the direct statement nai, erchomai tachy. Governed by the quoted speech frame of Revelation 22:20. The verb carries the direct declaration; the adverb and context shape the sense of nearness.

What does the speaker affirm? He affirms, 'I am coming quickly.'

Direct: The first person present form directly supports I am coming or I come in the promise.

Middle or passive deponent morphology should not be used to infer passive agency. Present form gives directness to the promise, but exact timing is governed by the passage's language and theology. The adverb quickly shapes the utterance and should not be separated from the verb.

Present tense alone fixes the timetable: The present form supports the direct promise; the passage's wording governs timing claims. deponent voice proves agency: The deponent label should not add agency claims beyond the speaker's declaration.

The witness reads ἔρχομαι in Revelation 22:20 within the clause Ναί, ἔρχομαι ταχύ.

The lemma is ἔρχομαι, a common verb for coming or going, and the form keeps that lexical identity unchanged.

The first person singular and present indicative fit the speaker's quoted response, making the line sound immediate and personal rather than abstract.

In context, the form supports the meaning that the speaker promises or affirms a near coming, which the surrounding response welcomes.

Within Revelation, this wording fits the book's emphasis on the expected arrival of the Lord and the hopeful response to that promise.

For readers, the form helps the verse read as a direct, living promise rather than a distant report.

Do not infer more than the verse gives, such as exact timing, a full doctrinal schedule, or a meaning created only by morphology.
