NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the parenthetical nature of the following description of the beast.

²tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

³tn Grk “gave it”; the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴tn For the translation “authority to rule” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
