Revelation of John 10:11
They say ( λεγουσιν ). Present active of vivid dramatic action and the indefinite statement in the plural as in 13:16; 16:15. It is possible that the allusion is to the heavenly voice (10:4, 8) and to the angel (10:9).Thou must prophesy again ( δε σε παλιν προφητευσα ). Not a new commission (1:19), though now renewed. C.f. Eze 4:7; 6:2; Jer 1:10. The παλιν (again) points to what has preceded and also to what is to come in 11:15. Here it is predictive prophecy ( προφητευσα, first aorist active infinitive of προφητευω ).
Over ( επ ). In the case, in regard to as in Joh 12:16 (with γραφω ), not in the presence of ( επ with genitive, Mr 13:9) nor against ( επ with the accusative, Lu 22:53). For this list of peoples see 5:9, occurring seven times in the Apocalypse.
