- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et impletum est templum fumo a majestate Dei, et de virtute ejus : et nemo poterat introire in templum, donec consummarentur septem plagæ septem angelorum.
- Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)
- καὶ ἐγεμίσθη ὁ ναὸς καπνοῦ ἐκ τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν ναὸν ἄχρι τελεσθῶσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ πληγαὶ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων.
Haydock's commentary
The temple was filled with smoke, &c., as in the time of Solomon. (2 Paralipomenon vii.) (Witham)
The vials are given to the Angels by one of the four living creatures, that is, by a prophet, because at that time the effects had not happened, but were to happen in time to come, and are therefore announced by way of prophecy; and the temple was filled with smoke, manifesting first the majesty of God, and secondly his power. (Pastorini)
