¹ tn Grk “saying like a voice [or sound] of thunder.”

² tc The addition of “and see” (καὶ ἴδε or καὶ βλέπε [kai ide or kai blepe]) to “come” (ἔρχου, ercou) in 6:1, 3-5, 7 is a gloss directed to John, i.e., “come and look at the seals and the horsemen!” But the command ἔρχου is better interpreted as directed to each of the horsemen. The shorter reading also has the support of the better witnesses.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

⁴ tn Grk “the earth helped the woman.”

⁵ tn Grk “the earth opened its mouth” (a metaphor for the ground splitting open).

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the permission granted to the beast.

⁷ tn Grk “he” (or “it”); the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tc The reading “and his dwelling place” does not occur in codex C, but its omission is probably due to scribal oversight since the phrase has the same ending as the phrase before it, i.e., they both end in “his” (αὐτοῦ, autou). This is similar to the mistake this scribe made in 12:14 with the omission of the reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou).

⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

¹⁰ tn Grk “another book was opened, which is of life.”

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the books being opened.

¹² tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.”
