Footnotes
- 1 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
- 2 Sun … moon … stars. This imagery is frequently identified with the nation Israel because of Joseph’s dream in Gen 37.
- 3 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
- 4 Grk “and being tortured,” though βασανίζω (basanizō) in this context refers to birth pangs. 2.b states, “Of birth-pangs (Anth. Pal. 9, 311 βάσανος has this mng.) Rv 12:2.” The καί (kai) has not been translated.
