TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:2 By being in the Spirit, John could experience spiritual realities (see 1:10; 17:3; 21:10; Ezek 11:1) and grasp insights about God’s presence, the heavenly realm, and God’s intentions in history.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐγενόμην ἐν Πνεύματι

˱I˲_became in /the/_Spirit

See how you translated this expression in 1:10. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit influenced me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον καθήμενος

on the throne sitting

John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “on the throne there was one sitting” or “someone was sitting on the throne”
