Did You Know?
- The words "from the temple" (ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ) do not appear in some ancient versions, and Tischendorf omitted them from his critical edition; Heinrich Meyer argued their inclusion is guaranteed by manuscripts A, C, and א.
- In the fourth bowl, the angel poured out his vial upon the sun, and power was given to scorch men with fire; the Greek word ἄνθρωπος is used generically for both men and women.
- Those scorched by the great heat blasphemed God and did not repent to give him glory.
