The
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:
|
|
|
2 |
Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony
of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. |
|
|
3 |
Blessed
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. |
|
|
4 |
John
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; |
|
|
5 |
And
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, |
|
|
6 |
And
hath made us kings and priests
unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen. |
|
|
7 |
Behold,
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.
|
|
|
8 |
I
am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which
(who) is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. |
|
|
9 |
I
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. |
|
|
10 |
I
was in the Spirit on the
Lord's day, and heard
behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, |
|
|
11 |
Saying,
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. |
|
|
12 |
And
I turned to
see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
|
|
|
13 |
And
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.
|
|
|
14 |
His
head and his hairs were white
like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes
were as a flame of fire; |
|
|
15 |
And
his feet like
unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice
as the sound of many waters. |
|
|
16 |
And
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. |
|
|
17 |
And
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: |
|
|
18 |
I
am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen;
and have the keys
of hell and of death. |
|
|
19 |
Write
the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things
which shall be hereafter; |
|
|
20 |
The
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. |
