Revelation 12:13

12:13 Now ¹  when the dragon realized ²  that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

Revelation 12:4

12:4 Now ³  the dragon’s ⁴  tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then ⁵  the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.

[12:13]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.

[12:13]  ² tn Grk “saw.”

[12:4]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate that this remark is virtually parenthetical.

[12:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “its”; the referent (the dragon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:4]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
