[1:3]  ¹ tn The word “this” is used to translate the Greek article τῆς (ths), bringing out its demonstrative force.

[1:3]  ² tn The word “aloud” has been supplied to indicate that in the original historical setting reading would usually refer to reading out loud in public rather than silently to oneself.

[1:3]  ³ tn The words “blessed are” are repeated from the beginning of this verse for stylistic reasons and for clarity.

[1:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “keep.” L&N 36.19 has “to continue to obey orders or commandments – ‘to obey, to keep commandments, obedience.’”

[1:3]  ⁵ sn The time refers to the time when the things prophesied would happen.

[9:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “It was not permitted to them”; the referent (the locusts) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:5]  ⁷ tn The word “permission” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[9:5]  ⁸ tn The two ἵνα (Jina) clauses of 9:5 are understood to be functioning as epexegetical or complementary clauses related to ἐδόθη (edoqh).

[9:5]  ⁹ tn On this term BDAG 168 s.v. βασανισμός states, “1. infliction of severe suffering or pain associated with torture or torment, tormenting, torture Rv 9:5b. – 2. the severe pain experienced through torture, torment vs. 5a; 14:11; 18:10, 15; (w. πένθος) vs. 7.”

[9:5]  ¹⁰ tn The pronoun “them” is not in the Greek text but is picked up from the previous clause.

[9:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “like the torture,” but this is redundant in contemporary English.

[9:5]  ¹² tn Grk “a man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in an individualized sense without being limited to the male gender.

[11:2]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:2]  ¹⁴ tn On the term αὐλήν (aulhn) BDAG 150 s.v. αὐλή 1 states, “(outer) court of the temple…Rv 11:2.”

[11:2]  ¹⁵ tn The precise meaning of the phrase ἔκβαλε ἔξωθεν (ekbale exwqen) is difficult to determine.

[11:2]  ¹⁶ tn Or “to the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:2]  ¹⁷ sn The holy city appears to be a reference to Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:24.

[11:3]  ¹⁸ tn The word “authority” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. “Power” would be another alternative that could be supplied here.

[11:9]  ¹⁹ tn The word “every” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the following list.

[11:9]  ²⁰ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated before this and the following items in the list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:9]  ²¹ tn Or “to be buried.”

[12:6]  ²² tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

[12:6]  ²³ tn Or “desert.”

[12:6]  ²⁴ tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

[12:6]  ²⁵ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

[17:10]  ²⁶ tn That is, one currently reigns.

[17:12]  ²⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:12]  ²⁸ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
