¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “voice, saying”; the participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

³ tn The expression ἕως πότε (ews pote) was translated “how long.” Cf. BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 1.b.γ.

⁴ tn The Greek term here is δεσπότης (despoths; see L&N 37.63).

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the somewhat parenthetical nature of the remarks that follow.

⁶ tn Or “righteous,” although the context favors justice as the theme.

⁷ tn Or “because you have judged these things.” The pronoun ταῦτα (tauta) is neuter gender.

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s invitation.

⁹ tn Or “in the spirit.” “Spirit” could refer either to the Holy Spirit or the human spirit, but in either case John was in “a state of spiritual exaltation best described as a trance” (R. H. Mounce, Revelation [NICNT], 75).

¹⁰ tn Grk “to a mountain great and high.”
