Revelation 13:2

Context
13:2 Now 1  the beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. The 2  dragon gave the beast 3  his power, his throne, and great authority to rule. 4 

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

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

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

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