Wahyu 17:6

17:6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of those who testified to Jesus. ¹  I ²  was greatly astounded ³  when I saw her.

Wahyu 17:15

17:15 Then ⁴  the angel ⁵  said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes, ⁶  nations, and languages.

[17:6]  ¹ tn Or “of the witnesses to Jesus.” Here the genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) is taken as an objective genitive; Jesus is the object of their testimony.

[17:6]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:6]  ³ tn Grk “I marveled a great marvel” (an idiom for great astonishment).

[17:15]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[17:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “and multitudes,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
