Footnotes

  1. 38 Or “in the spirit.” “Spirit” could refer either to the Holy Spirit or the human spirit, but in either case John was in “a state of spiritual exaltation best described as a trance” (R. H. Mounce, Revelation [], ).
  2. 39 Concerning the phrase κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ (kuriakē hēmera) κυριακός states: “pert. to belonging to the Lord, the Lord’s … κ. ἡμέρᾳ the Lord’s day (Kephal. I 192, 1; 193, 31 …) i.e. certainly Sunday (so in Mod. Gk.…) Rv 1:10 (WStott, 12, ’65, 70–75).”
  3. 40 The conjunction καί (kai) is not introducing a coordinate thought, but one that is logically subordinate to the main verb ἐγενόμην (egenomēn).
