So 1  I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste 2  as sweet as honey in my mouth, but 3  when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

NET Notes

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

2 tn Grk “it was.” The idea of taste is implied.

3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
