1:1 The
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ,
which
God
gave
him
to
show
to
his
servants
the
things
that
must
soon
take
place.
He
made
it
known
by
sending
his
angel
to
his
servant
John,
1:2 who
bore
witness
to
the
word
of
God
and
to
the
testimony
of
Jesus
Christ,
even
to
all
that
he
saw.
1:3 Blessed
is
the
one
who
reads
aloud
the
words
of
this
prophecy,
and
blessed
are
those
who
hear,
and
who
keep
what
is
written
in
it,
for
the
time
is
near.
1:4 John
to
the
seven
churches
that
are
in
Asia:
Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
him
who
is
and
who
was
and
who
is
to
come,
and
from
the
seven
spirits
who
are
before
his
throne,
1:5 and
from
Jesus
Christ
the
faithful
witness,
the
firstborn
of
the
dead,
and
the
ruler
of
kings
on
earth.
To
him
who
loves
us
and
has
freed
us
from
our
sins
by
his
blood
1:6 and
made
us
a
kingdom,
priests
to
his
God
and
Father,
to
him
be
glory
and
dominion
forever
and
ever.
Amen.
1:7 Behold,
he
is
coming
with
the
clouds,
and
every
eye
will
see
him,
even
those
who
pierced
him,
and
all
tribes
of
the
earth
will
wail
on
account
of
him.
Even
so.
Amen.
1:8 "I
am
the
Alpha
and
the
Omega,"
says
the
Lord
God,
"who
is
and
who
was
and
who
is
to
come,
the
Almighty."
1:9 I,
John,
your
brother
and
partner
in
the
tribulation
and
the
kingdom
and
the
patient
endurance
that
are
in
Jesus,
was
on
the
island
called
Patmos
on
account
of
the
word
of
God
and
the
testimony
of
Jesus.
1:10 I
was
in
the
Spirit
on
the
Lord's
day,
and
I
heard
behind
me
a
loud
voice
like
a
trumpet
1:11 saying,
"Write
what
you
see
in
a
book
and
send
it
to
the
seven
churches,
to
Ephesus
and
to
Smyrna
and
to
Pergamum
and
to
Thyatira
and
to
Sardis
and
to
Philadelphia
and
to
Laodicea."
1:12 Then
I
turned
to
see
the
voice
that
was
speaking
to
me,
and
on
turning
I
saw
seven
golden
lampstands,
1:13 and
in
the
midst
of
the
lampstands
one
like
a
son
of
man,
clothed
with
a
long
robe
and
with
a
golden
sash
around
his
chest.
1:14 The
hairs
of
his
head
were
white,
like
white
wool,
like
snow.
His
eyes
were
like
a
flame
of
fire,
1:15 his
feet
were
like
burnished
bronze,
refined
in
a
furnace,
and
his
voice
was
like
the
roar
of
many
waters.
1:16 In
his
right
hand
he
held
seven
stars,
from
his
mouth
came
a
sharp
two-edged
sword,
and
his
face
was
like
the
sun
shining
in
full
strength.
1:17 When
I
saw
him,
I
fell
at
his
feet
as
though
dead.
But
he
laid
his
right
hand
on
me,
saying,
"Fear
not,
I
am
the
first
and
the
last,
1:18 and
the
living
one.
I
died,
and
behold
I
am
alive
forevermore,
and
I
have
the
keys
of
Death
and
Hades.
1:19 Write
therefore
the
things
that
you
have
seen,
those
that
are
and
those
that
are
to
take
place
after
this.
1:20 As
for
the
mystery
of
the
seven
stars
that
you
saw
in
my
right
hand,
and
the
seven
golden
lampstands,
the
seven
stars
are
the
angels
of
the
seven
churches,
and
the
seven
lampstands
are
the
seven
churches.
