Revelation 10:2

10:2 He held ¹  in his hand a little scroll that was open, and he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land.

Revelation 10:10

10:10 So ²  I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste ³  as sweet as honey in my mouth, but ⁴  when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

Revelation 10:9

10:9 So ⁵  I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He ⁶  said to me, “Take the scroll ⁷  and eat it. It ⁸  will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

[10:2]  ¹ tn Grk “and having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “he.”

[10:10]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

[10:10]  ³ tn Grk “it was.” The idea of taste is implied.

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[10:9]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the voice.

[10:9]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:9]  ⁵ tn The words “the scroll” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[10:9]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
