[The] revelation of Jesus Christ, which gave to him God, to show to the bond-servants of Him what things it behooves to take place in quickness. And He signified [it], having sent through the angel of Him, to the servant of Him, John,

who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, as much as he saw.

blessed [is] the [one] reading, and those hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things in it written; for the time [is] near.

John, To the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits who before the throne of Him,

and from Jesus Christ, the witness faithful, the firstborn of the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the [One] loving us and having released us from the sins of us through the blood of Him —

and He has made us a kingdom, priests to the God and Father of Him — to Him [be] the glory, and the dominion to the ages of the ages. Amen.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and will see Him every eye, and those who Him pierced, and will wail because of Him all the tribes of the earth. Yes! Amen!

I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Lord God, who is being, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.

I John, the brother of you, and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and in endurance in Jesus, was in the island which is being called Patmos, on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus

I was in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a voice loud, like that of a trumpet,

saying, What you see, do write in a book, and do send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven lampstands golden,

and in [the] midst of the lampstands, [One] like [the] Son of Man, having clothed himself to the feet, and having girded himself about at the breasts with a sash golden.

and the feet of Him [are] like as fine bronze, as in a furnace refined; and the voice of Him [is] like [the] voice of waters many;

and He is holding in the right hand of Him stars seven, and out of the mouth of Him a sword two-edged sharp is going forth; and the face of Him [is] like the sun shining in the full strength of it.

And when I saw Him, I fell at the feet of Him as though dead. And He placed the right hand of Him upon me, saying, Not do fear. I am the First and the Last,

and the Living [One]; and I was dead, and behold living I am to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
