Footnotes

9 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
10 Most (𝔓47 א* 𝔐 sa) lack ἄλλον (allon, “another”) here, but the support for it is stronger (𝔓115vid א2 A C P 051 1006 1611 1841 2053 2329 latt sy bo). The problem that its inclusion represents is that there is no reference to any other angel in the immediate context (the last mention was in 11:15). In this instance, the longer reading is harder. The word was probably intentionally omitted in order to resolve the tension; less likely, it might have been accidentally omitted since its spelling is similar to “angel” (ἄγγελος, angelos).
11 L&N 1.10 states, “a point or region of the sky directly above the earth—‘high in the sky, midpoint in the sky, directly overhead, straight above in the sky.’ ”
12 Grk “having.”
13 Or “an eternal gospel to announce as good news.”
14 Grk “to those seated on the earth.”
15 Grk “and tribe,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here or before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
16 Grk “people, saying.” In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence. For the translation of λέγω (legō) as “declare,” see 2.e.
