Revelation 10:10-11

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. 10:11 Then ⁴  they ⁵  told me: “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, ⁶  languages, and kings.”

[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.

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[10:11]  ⁵ tn The referent of “they” is not clear in the Greek text.

[10:11]  ⁶ 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.
