(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Answered (apekrithē). First aorist passive (deponent) of apokrinomai with legōn (saying), a common (only here in the Apocalypse) Hebrew redundancy in the Gospels (Mar 9:5). An elder intervenes, though no question has been asked to interpret the vision (Swete).
These (houtoi). Prophetic predicate nominative put before tines eisin (who are they). Note article repeated with stolas pointing to Rev 7:9, and accusative also retained after peribeblēmenoi as there. Both “who” and “whence” as in Jos 9:8.
