17:7 But 1 the angel said to me, “Why are you astounded? I will interpret 2 for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
2 tnGrk “I will tell you,” but since what follows is the angel’s interpretation of the vision, “interpret for you” is the preferred translation here.
