Revelation 6:11

Context
6:11 Each 1  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached 2  of both their fellow servants 3  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Revelation 13:14

Context
13:14 and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told 4  those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

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

2 tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

3 tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

4 tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.

sn He told followed by an infinitive (“to make an image…”) is sufficiently ambiguous in Greek that it could be taken as “he ordered” (so NIV) or “he persuaded” (so REB).
