Wahyu 11:16

11:16 Then ¹  the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God threw themselves down with their faces to the ground ²  and worshiped God

Wahyu 19:10

19:10 So ³  I threw myself down ⁴  at his feet to worship him, but ⁵  he said, “Do not do this! ⁶  I am only ⁷  a fellow servant ⁸  with you and your brothers ⁹  who hold to the testimony about ¹⁰  Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Wahyu 22:8

22:8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things, ¹¹  and when I heard and saw them, ¹²  I threw myself down ¹³  to worship at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me.

[11:16]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[11:16]  ² tn Grk “they fell down on their faces.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[19:10]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s announcement.

[19:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “I fell down at his feet.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[19:10]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[19:10]  ⁶ tn On the elliptical expression ὅρα μή (Jora mh) BDAG 720 s.v. ὁράω B.2 states: “Elliptically…ὅρα μή (sc. ποιήσῃς) watch out! don’t do that! Rv 19:10; 22:9.”

[19:10]  ⁷ tn The lowliness of a slave is emphasized in the Greek text with the emphatic position of σύνδουλος (sundoulo"). The use of “only” helps to bring this nuance out in English.

[19:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “fellow slave.” See the note on the word “servants” in v. 2.

[19:10]  ⁹ tn The Greek term “brother” literally refers to family relationships, but here it is used in a broader sense to connote familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).

[19:10]  ¹⁰ tn The genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) has been translated as an objective genitive here. A subjective genitive, also possible, would produce the meaning “who hold to what Jesus testifies.”

[22:8]  ¹¹ tn Or “I am John, the one who heard and saw these things.”

[22:8]  ¹² tn The pronoun “them” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[22:8]  ¹³ tn Grk “I fell down and worshiped at the feet.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”
