Revelation 7:9

Context

7:9 After these things I looked, and here was 1  an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, 2  people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.

Revelation 7:13

Context

7:13 Then 3  one of the elders asked 4  me, “These dressed in long white robes – who are they and where have they come from?”

1 tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated before each of the following categories, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

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

4 tn Grk “spoke” or “declared to,” but in the context “asked” reads more naturally in English.
