Verse 8 is found in chapter 10 of Revelation. John receives the little scroll and must eat it. In his mouth it is sweet as honey, but in his stomach it is bitter. The image recalls especially Ezekiel 2–3, where the prophet also receives a scroll before speaking to the people. The prophetic word possesses sweetness because it comes from God, but also bitterness because it communicates judgment and suffering. After receiving it, John is sent again to prophesy about peoples, nations, languages, and kings.
