NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “O King.” 2 tn Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”). 3 tn The word “everywhere” has been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning of περιλάμψαν (perilamyan). Otherwise the modern reader might think that each of the individuals were encircled by lights or halos. See also Acts 9:7; 22:6, 9. |
