Footnotes

  1. 18 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
  2. 19 Grk “spoke” or “declared to,” but in the context “asked” reads more naturally in English.
  3. 20 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the previous question.
  4. 21 Though the expression “the answer” is not in the Greek text, it is clearly implied. Direct objects in Greek were frequently omitted when clear from the context.
  5. 22 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
  6. 23 Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
