revelation 22:17 (kjv), prayer in didache 10 bears similarity.


chapter 10 gives thanksgiving after meal. contents of meal not indicated: chapter 9 not exclude other elements cup , bread, ones mentions, , chapter 10, whether separate document or continues account in chapter 9, mentions no particular elements, not wine , bread. instead speaks of spiritual food , drink , life eternal through thy servant distinguishes food , drink (given) men enjoyment might give (god) . after doxology, before, come apocalyptic exclamations: let grace come, , let world pass away. hosanna god (son) of david! if 1 holy, let him come; if 1 not so, let him repent. maranatha. amen . prayer reminiscent of revelation 22:17–20 , 1corinthians 16:22.


these prayers make no reference redemptive death of christ, or remembrance, formulated paul apostle in 1corinthians 11:23–34, see atonement in christianity. didache 10 doesn t use word christ, appears 1 other time in whole tract.
