Exegesis
The locative prepositional phrase epi to oros Siōn {ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σιών | epì tò ó-ros Siṓn} situates the Lamb on Zion, invoking the imagery of divine sovereignty.
This pair is further qualified by gegrammenon {γεγραμμένον | ge-gram-mé-non} ‘written’ with the prepositional phrase epi tōn metōpōn autōn {ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων αὐτῶν | epì tôn metṓ-pōn autôn} ‘on their foreheads,’ where the perfect participle underscores the completed and enduring nature of the inscription. In English, the participial clauses are rendered as relative constructions to preserve clarity, all while maintaining the Lamb’s central position and the sealed identity of His followers.
In context — Revelation 14:1
And I looked, and there in view was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion; with Him were one hundred forty-four thousand whose foreheads bore His name and His Father’s name.
