WK Translation Notes

a
The common text is faulty. All the critical editors omit "the great" on the authority of the best MSS. and the most ancient versions. According to the right text, it would be, "showed me that holy city Jerusalem."
b
The manuscripts differ slightly as to the last words, but all the Edd. are right.
