Revelation 12:14

12:14 But ⁸  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, ⁹  to the place God ¹⁰  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. ¹¹ 

Revelation 11:3

11:3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority ¹²  to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.

11:2 But ²¹  do not measure the outer courtyard ²²  of the temple; leave it out, ²³  because it has been given to the Gentiles, ²⁴  and they will trample on the holy city ²⁵  for forty-two months.

[8:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the resumption of the topic of the seals.

[8:1]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the Lamb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:9]  ³ tn The word “every” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the following list.

[11:9]  ⁴ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated before this and the following items in the list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:9]  ⁵ tn Or “to be buried.”

[11:11]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “fell upon.”

[12:14]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:14]  ⁸ tn Or “desert.”

[12:14]  ⁹ tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

[12:14]  ¹⁰ tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.

[11:3]  ⁹ tn The word “authority” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. “Power” would be another alternative that could be supplied here.

[12:6]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

[12:6]  ¹² tn Or “desert.”

[12:6]  ¹³ tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

[12:6]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

[13:5]  ¹³ tn Grk “and there was given to him.” Here the passive construction has been simplified, the referent (the beast) has been specified for clarity, and καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:5]  ¹⁴ tn For the translation “proud words” (Grk “great things” or “important things”) see BDAG 624 s.v. μέγας 4.b.

[13:5]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “to it was granted.”

[13:5]  ¹⁶ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

[11:2]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:2]  ¹⁶ tn On the term αὐλήν (aulhn) BDAG 150 s.v. αὐλή 1 states, “(outer) court of the temple…Rv 11:2.”

[11:2]  ¹⁷ tn The precise meaning of the phrase ἔκβαλε ἔξωθεν (ekbale exwqen) is difficult to determine.

[11:2]  ¹⁸ tn Or “to the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:2]  ¹⁹ sn The holy city appears to be a reference to Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:24.
