1The
Revelation
of Jesus
Christ,
which God
gave unto
him, to shew
unto his
servants
things which
must shortly
come to
pass; and he
sent and
signified it by
his angel
unto his
servant
John:
2Who
bare record
of the word
of God, and
of the
testimony of
Jesus
Christ, and
of all
things that
he saw.
3Blessed is he
that readeth,
and they
that hear
the words of
this
prophecy,
and keep
those things
which are
written
therein: for
the time is at
hand.
4John
to the seven
churches
which are in
Asia: Grace be unto
you, and
peace, from
him which
is, and
which was,
and which is
to come; and
from the
seven
Spirits
which are
before his
throne;
5And
from Jesus
Christ, who
is the
faithful
witness, and the
first
begotten of
the dead,
and the
prince of
the kings of
the earth.
Unto him
that loved
us, and
washed us
from our
sins in his
own blood,
6And
hath made us
kings and
priests unto
God and his
Father; to
him be glory
and dominion
for ever and
ever. Amen.
7Behold,
he cometh
with clouds;
and every
eye shall
see him, and
they also which
pierced him:
and all
kindreds of
the earth
shall wail
because of
him. Even
so, Amen.
8I
am Alpha and
Omega, the
beginning
and the
ending, saith
the Lord,
which is,
and which
was, and
which is to
come, the
Almighty.
9I
John, who
also am your
brother, and
companion in
tribulation,
and in the
kingdom and
patience of
Jesus
Christ, was
in the isle
that is
called
Patmos, for
the word of
God, and for
the
testimony of
Jesus
Christ.
10I
was in the
Spirit on
the Lord's
day, and
heard behind
me a great
voice, as of
a trumpet,
11Saying, I
am Alpha and
Omega, the
first and
the last: and, What
thou seest,
write in a
book, and
send it unto
the seven
churches
which are in
Asia; unto
Ephesus, and
unto Smyrna,
and unto
Pergamos,
and unto
Thyatira,
and unto
Sardis, and
unto
Philadelphia,
and unto
Laodicea.
12And
I turned to
see the
voice that
spake with
me. And
being
turned, I
saw seven
golden
candlesticks;
13And
in the midst
of the seven
candlesticks one like
unto the Son
of man,
clothed with
a garment
down to the
foot, and
girt about
the paps
with a
golden
girdle.
14His
head and his hairs were white
like wool,
as white as
snow; and
his eyes were as
a flame of
fire;
15And
his feet
like unto
fine brass,
as if they
burned in a
furnace; and
his voice as
the sound of
many waters.
16And
he had in
his right
hand seven
stars: and
out of his
mouth went a
sharp
twoedged
sword: and
his
countenance was as
the sun
shineth in
his
strength.
17And
when I saw
him, I fell
at his feet
as dead. And
he laid his
right hand
upon me,
saying unto
me, Fear
not; I am
the first
and the
last:
18I am he
that liveth,
and was
dead; and,
behold, I am
alive for
evermore,
Amen; and
have the
keys of hell
and of
death.
19Write
the things
which thou
hast seen,
and the
things which
are, and the
things which
shall be
hereafter;
20The
mystery of
the seven
stars which
thou sawest
in my right
hand, and
the seven
golden
candlesticks.
The seven
stars are
the angels
of the seven
churches:
and the
seven
candlesticks
which thou
sawest are
the seven
churches.
