Revelation of John 13:7
To make war with the saints and to overcome them ( ποιησα πολεμον μετα των αγιων κα νικησα αυτους ). This clause with two epexegetical first aorist active infinitives ( πολεμησα and νικησα ) is omitted in A C P, but probably by ομοεοτελευτον (like ending) because of the repetition of εδοθη. The words seem to come from Da 7:21, 23. There was no escape from the beast's rule in the Mediterranean world. See 5:9 for the phrases here used, there for praise to the Lamb.
