Revelation 10 according to Papyrus 47 I saw 5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky, 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, and the prophets. 8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.” 9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it, and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” 10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
Revelations 10 according to Papyrus 115 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky,
clothed with a cloud. A rainbow
was on his head. His face
was like the sun, and his feet like pillars
of fire. 2 He had in his hand a
little open
book. He set his right
foot on the sea, and his left on the land. 3 He cried
with a loud voice, as a lion roars.
When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 [..] 8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.” 9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it, and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” 10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.[ii] 11 They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
[i] This section of the papyrus is missing, but there is not enough room in between the letters which are present for this phrase to be there. Some other manuscripts also have variations here. [ii] “Was made bitter” may not be what the Papyrus says, but some of the letters are missing, so the correct reading is uncertain. |
