[5:7]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[5:7]  ² 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.

[5:1]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[5:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “written on the inside and the outside” (an idiom for having writing on both sides).

[5:1]  ⁵ tn L&N 6.55 states, “From the immediate context of Re 5:1 it is not possible to determine whether the scroll in question had seven seals on the outside or whether the scroll was sealed at seven different points. However, since according to chapter six of Revelation the seals were broken one after another, it would appear as though the scroll had been sealed at seven different places as it had been rolled up.”

[4:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “the twenty-four elders fall down.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[4:10]  ⁶ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

[4:10]  ⁷ tn The pronoun “his” is understood from the demonstrative force of the article τοῦ (tou) before θρόνου (qronou).

[6:16]  ⁷ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:16]  ⁸ tn It is difficult to say where this quotation ends. The translation ends it after “withstand it” at the end of v. 17, but it is possible that it should end here, after “Lamb” at the end of v. 16. If it ends after “Lamb,” v. 17 is a parenthetical explanation by the author.

[19:19]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[19:21]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:21]  ¹² tn On the translation of ἐχορτάσθησαν (ecortasqhsan) BDAG 1087 s.v. χορτάζω 1.a states, “of animals, pass. in act. sense πάντα τὰ ὄρνεα ἐχορτάσθησαν ἐκ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτῶν all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh Rv 19:21 (cp. TestJud. 21:8).”
