Exegesis
The second description centers on the participle akolouthountes {ἀκολουθοῦντες | a-ko-lou-thoûn-tes} ‘following’ with the dative arnion {ἀρνίῳ | ar-ní-ō} ‘Lamb’, modified by the adverbial hopou {ὅπου | hó-pou} ‘wherever’ plus particle an {ἂν | an} and subjunctive hypagē {ὑπάγῃ | hy-pá-gē} ‘he may go’, indicating unrestricted discipleship.
In context — Revelation 14:4
These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He may go. They have been redeemed from among humanity as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb .
