Exegesis
The verse begins with the visionary formula kai eidon {Καὶ εἶδον | kaí eî-don} “and I saw,” which introduces a new judicial scene centered on thronous {θρό́νους | thró-nous} “thrones.”
In context — Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God , and also those who had not worshiped the beast nor its image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
