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

[11:1]  ² tn Grk “a reed” (but these were used for measuring). Cf. Ezek 40:3ff.

[11:1]  ³ tn Grk “saying.”

[21:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the angel of v. 9) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
