Wahyu 12:13

12:13 Now ¹  when the dragon realized ²  that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

Wahyu 13:8

13:8 and all those who live on the earth will worship the beast, ³  everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world ⁴  in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed. ⁵ 

Wahyu 13:14

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 ⁶  those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

[12:13]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.

[12:13]  ² tn Grk “saw.”

[13:8]  ³ tn Grk “it”; the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:8]  ⁴ tn The prepositional phrase “since the foundation of the world” is traditionally translated as a modifier of the immediately preceding phrase in the Greek text, “the Lamb who was killed” (so also G. B. Caird, Revelation [HNTC], 168), but it is more likely that the phrase “since the foundation of the world” modifies the verb “written” (as translated above). Confirmation of this can be found in Rev 17:8 where the phrase “written in the book of life since the foundation of the world” occurs with no ambiguity.

[13:8]  ⁵ tn Or “slaughtered”; traditionally, “slain.”

[13:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “earth, telling.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek.

[13:14]  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).
