Revelation 11:2

Revelation 14:3

14:3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No ⁶  one was able to learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

² tn On the term αὐλήν (aulhn) BDAG 150 s.v. αὐλή 1 states, “(outer) court of the temple…Rv 11:2.”

³ tn The precise meaning of the phrase ἔκβαλε ἔξωθεν (ekbale exwqen) is difficult to determine.

⁴ tn Or “to the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

⁵ sn The holy city appears to be a reference to Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:24.

⁶ tn Grk “elders, and no one.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but because of the length and complexity of the sentence a new sentence was started here in the translation.
