Revelation 10:10

10:10 So ¹  I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste ²  as sweet as honey in my mouth, but ³  when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

Revelation 17:12

17:12 The ⁴  ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive ruling authority ⁵  as kings with the beast for one hour.

[10:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

[10:10]  ² tn Grk “it was.” The idea of taste is implied.

[10:10]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[17:12]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:12]  ⁵ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
