[8:9]  ¹ tn Or “a third of the living creatures in the sea”; Grk “the third of the creatures which were in the sea, the ones having life.”

[8:9]  ² tn On the term translated “completely destroyed,” L&N 20.40 states, “to cause the complete destruction of someone or something – ‘to destroy utterly.’ τὸ τρίτον τῶν πλοίων διεφθάρησαν ‘a third of the ships were completely destroyed’ Re 8:9.”

[8:12]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[8:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “the day did not shine [with respect to] the third of it.”

[11:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “has passed.”

[6:5]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[6:5]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the summons by the third creature.

[6:5]  ⁹ tc The reading “and I looked” (καὶ εἶδον, kai eidon) or some slight variation (e.g., ἶδον, idon) has excellent ms support ({א A C P 1611}) and its omission seems to have come through the mss that have already placed “and look” (καὶ ἴδε or καὶ βλέπε [kai ide or kai blepe]) after the verb “come” (ἔρχου, ercou) in 6:1. Thus, for these copyists it was redundant to add “and I looked” again.

[6:5]  ¹⁰ tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[6:5]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:5]  ¹² tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:5]  ¹³ sn A balance scale would have been a rod held by a rope in the middle with pans attached to both ends for measuring.

[8:10]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[8:10]  ¹⁰ tn Or “from heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[8:10]  ¹¹ tn Grk “fell.”

[16:4]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:4]  ¹² tn Grk “the third”; the referent (the third angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:11]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” in keeping with the parenthetical nature of this remark.

[8:11]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “is called,” but this is somewhat redundant in contemporary English.

[8:11]  ¹⁵ sn Wormwood refers to a particularly bitter herb with medicinal value. According to L&N 3.21, “The English term wormwood is derived from the use of the plant as a medicine to kill intestinal worms.” This remark about the star’s name is parenthetical in nature.

[8:11]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the star falling on the waters.

[8:11]  ¹⁷ tn That is, terribly bitter (see the note on “Wormwood” earlier in this verse).

[8:11]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “and many of the men died from these waters because they were bitter.”

[9:15]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[9:15]  ¹⁶ tn The Greek article τήν (thn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.

[9:15]  ¹⁷ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[9:15]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.

[9:18]  ¹⁷ tn The phrase ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ τοῦ καπνοῦ καὶ τοῦ θείου τοῦ ἐκπορευομένου ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν (“by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths”) is taken as epexegetical (explanatory) to the phrase τῶν τριῶν πληγῶν τούτων (“these three plagues”).

[21:19]  ¹⁹ tn The perfect participle here has been translated as an intensive (resultative) perfect.

[21:19]  ²⁰ sn Agate (also called chalcedony) is a semiprecious stone usually milky or gray in color (L&N 2.32).

[8:7]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:7]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so that” because what follows has the logical force of a result clause.

[8:8]  ²³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[8:8]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:7]  ²⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:7]  ²⁶ tn Both here and before the phrase “the third,” καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[14:9]  ²⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:9]  ²⁸ tn Grk “And another angel, a third.”

[14:9]  ²⁹ tn Grk “followed them.”

[14:9]  ³⁰ tn For the translation of λέγω (legw) as “declare,” see BDAG 590 s.v. 2.e.

[12:4]  ²⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate that this remark is virtually parenthetical.

[12:4]  ³⁰ tn Grk “its”; the referent (the dragon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:4]  ³¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[21:17]  ³¹ tn Here the measurement was kept in cubits in the translation because of the possible symbolic significance of the number 144 (12 times 12). This is about 216 ft (65 m).

[21:17]  ³² tn Here L&N 81.1 translate the phrase μέτρον ἀνθρώπου, ὅ ἐστιν ἀγγέλου (metron anqrwpou, {o estin angelou) “‘the unit of measurement used by a person, that is, by an angel’ Re 21:17.” It is more likely that μέτρον is an accusative of respect or reference.
