Revelation 19:12

Context
19:12 His eyes are like a fiery 1  flame and there are many diadem crowns 2  on his head. He has 3  a name written 4  that no one knows except himself.

1 tn The genitive noun πυρός (puros) has been translated as an attributive genitive (see also Rev 1:14).

2 tn For the translation of διάδημα (diadhma) as “diadem crown” see L&N 6.196.

sn Diadem crowns were a type of crown used as a symbol of the highest ruling authority in a given area, and thus often associated with kingship.

3 tn Grk “head, having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

4 tn Although many translations supply a prepositional phrase to specify what the name was written on (“upon Him,” NASB; “on him,” NIV), there is no location for the name specified in the Greek text.
