¹ tn The verb ἔμελλον (emellon) is in the imperfect tense.

⁸ tc ‡ Several key mss (Ì⁴⁷ א¹ A 0207 1611 2053 2344 pc lat sy^h co) lack the word τεσσάρων (tessarwn, “four”) before κεράτων (keratwn, “horns”). The word seems to have been added by scribes because a “horned” altar (described in the OT [Exod 30:2, 10]) could have only four “horns” or projections at the corners. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

²³ tn Grk “in it”; the referent (the city, the new Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
