Revelation 2:28

Context

2:28 just as I have received the right to rule 1  from my Father – and I will give him the morning star. 2 

Revelation 17:13

Context
17:13 These kings 3  have a single intent, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

1 tn What has been received is not specified in the Greek text, but must be supplied from the context. In the light of the two immediately preceding verses about rulership or dominion, it seems that the implied direct object of δώσω (dwsw) is “the right to rule” (i.e., ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν ποιμάνειν, ecein exousian poimanein), although many modern translations supply the word “authority” here (so NAB, NRSV, NLT).

2 tn On this expression BDAG 892 s.v. πρωϊνός states, “early, belonging to the morning ὁ ἀστὴρ ὁ πρ. the morning star, Venus Rv 2:28; 22:16.”

3 tn The word “kings” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to clarify the referent.
