Text -- Revelation 10:10-11 (NET)

10:10 So I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 10:11 Then they told me: “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Rev 10:10

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

² tn Grk “it was.” The idea of taste is implied.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

NET Notes: Rev 10:11

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

² tn The referent of “they” is not clear in the Greek text.

³ tn Grk “and nations,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here or before the next item since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
