16:6 because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets,
so 1 you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!” 2
18:24 The 3 blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, 4
along with the blood 5 of all those who had been killed on the earth.”
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that this judgment is the result of what these wicked people did to the saints and prophets.
2 tn Grk “They are worthy”; i.e., of this kind of punishment. By extension, “they got what they deserve.”
3 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
4 tn The shift in pronouns from second to third person corresponds to the Greek text.
5 tn Grk “and of all.” The phrase “along with the blood” has been repeated from the previous clause for stylistic reasons.
