Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 16:3

_ _ angel — So B and Andreas. But A, C, and Vulgate omit it.

_ _ uponGreek, “into.”

_ _ became as ... blood — answering to another Egyptian plague.

_ _ of a dead man — putrefying.

_ _ living soul — So B and Andreas. But A, C, and Syriac, “soul of life” (compare Genesis 1:30; Genesis 7:21, Genesis 7:22).

_ _ in the sea — So B and Andreas. But A, C, and Syriac read, “(as respects) the things in the sea.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 16:1-7.
