23.“阿们”表出于真理,因而出于祂自己的神性确认。“阿们”表示真理,因为主是真理本身,故祂常说“我实实在在地告诉你们”(如马太福音5:18,26;6:16;10:23,42;17:20;18:13,18;25:12;28:20;约翰福音3:11;5:19,24,25;6:26,32,47,53;8:34,51,58;10:7;13:16,20,21;21:18,25);还有以下启示录中的经文:
这些事是那为阿们的,为诚信真实见证的说的。(启示录3:14)
这是主。主是真理本身,这是祂自己所教导的(约翰福音14:6;17:19)。
23. Amen. This symbolizes a Divine confirmation springing from truth, thus from Himself.
"Amen" signifies truth, and because the Lord was the very embodiment of truth, therefore He so often said, "Assuredly, I say to you," 1as in Matthew 5:18, 26; 6:16; 10:23, 42; 17:20; 18:13, 18; 25:12, cf. 28:20; John 3:11; 5:19, 24-25; 6:26, 32, 47, 53; 8:34, 51, 58; 10:7; 12:24; 13:16, 20-21, cf. 21:18, 25; and in the following passage in the book of Revelation, "These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness" (Revelation 3:14), which is to say, the Lord.
That the Lord is the very embodiment of truth, He Himself teaches in John 14:6; 17:19.

1. Literally, "Amen, I say to you."
23. 'Amen' signifies Divine confirmation out of the truth (veritas), thus out of His very Self. 'Amen' signifies the truth (veritas), and since the Lord was the Truth (Veritas) itself, therefore He so often said, 'Verily (Amen) I say unto you' as in Matthew 5:18, 26; 6:16; 10:23, 42; 17:20; 18:13, 18; 25:12; 28:20; John 3:11; 5:19, 24-25; 6:26, 32, 47, 53; 8:34, 51, 58; 10:7 [; 12:] 24; 13:16, 20-21; 21:18, 25; and in the things following in the Apocalypse:
These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness. 3:14.
This is the Lord. That the Lord is the Truth (Veritas) itself, He Himself teaches (John 14:6; 17:19).
23. Amen, signifies Divine confirmation from the truth, thus from Himself. "Amen" signifies truth; and because the Lord was truth itself, He so often said, "Amen, I say unto you," (as in Matthew 5:18, 26; 6:16; 10:23, 42; 17:20; 18:13, 18; 25:12; 28:20; John 3:11; 5:19, 24-25; 6:26, 32, 47, 53; 8:34, 51, 58; 10:7; 13:16, 20-21; 21:18, 25); and in the following passage in Revelation:
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, (Revelation 3:14);
that is, the Lord. That the Lord is the truth itself, He Himself teaches in John 14:6; 17:19.
23. "Amen," significat confirmationem Divinam ex Veritate, ita ex Se Ipso. -"Amen" significat veritatem; et quia Dominus erat ipsa Veritas, ideo toties dixit,
"Amen dico vobis" (ut Matthaeus 5:18, 26; 6:16; 10:23, 42; 17:20; 18:13, 18; 25:12; 128:20; Johannes 3:11; 5:19, 24-25; 6:26, 32, 47, 53; 8:34, 51, 58; 10:7; 2(12:) 24; 13:16, 20-21; 21:18, 25);
et in sequentibus in Apocalypsi:
"Haec dicit Amen, Testis fidelis et verus," (3:14), 3
hoc est Dominus. Quod Dominus sit ipsa Veritas, docet Ipse, (Johannes 14:6; 17:19).
