NET Notes: Rev 1:19

¹ tn Grk “Therefore write the things that you saw, and the things that are, and the things that will take place after these things.” Verse 19 could also be translated (taking καί…καί [kai…kai] as “both…and”): “Therefore write what you have seen, both what things currently are and what is going to happen after these things.” The structure of this verse is debated.

NET Notes: Rev 1:20

¹ tn The words “is this” are supplied to make a complete sentence in English.
