‏ Revelation of John 16:2

2 So ^{▼▼tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the directions given by the voice from the temple.} the first angel ^{▼▼tn Grk “the first”; the referent (the first angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then ^{▼▼tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.} ugly and painful sores ^{▼▼tn Or “ulcerated sores”; the term in the Greek text is singular but is probably best understood as a collective singular.} appeared on the people ^{▼▼tn Grk ‘the men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) and refers to both men and women.} who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
