Revelation 12:14

Context
12:14 But 1  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, 2  to the place God 3  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. 4

[12:14]  1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:14]  2 tn Or “desert.”

[12:14]  3 tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

[12:14]  4 tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì47 א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.
