The Revelation[G602] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], which[G3739]God[G2316]gave[G1325] unto him[G846], to shew[G1166] unto his[G846]servants[G1401] things which[G3739]must[G1163]shortly[G1722] come to pass[G1096]; and[G2532] he sent[G649]and[G2532]signified[G4591] it by[G1223]his[G846]angel[G32] unto his[G846]servant[G1401]John[G2491]:
2Who[G3739] bare record[G3140] of the word[G3056] of God[G2316], and[G2532] of the testimony[G3141] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], and[G5037] of all things[G3745] that he saw[G1492].
3Blessed[G3107] is he that readeth[G314], and[G2532] they that hear[G191] the words[G3056] of this prophecy[G4394], and[G2532]keep[G5083] those things which are written[G1125]therein[G1722]: for[G1063] the time[G2540] is at hand[G1451].
4John[G2491] to the seven[G2033]churches[G1577]which[G3588]are[G2076]in[G1722]Asia[G773]: Grace[G5485] be unto you[G5213], and[G2532]peace[G1515], from[G575] him which[G3739]is[G5607], and[G2532]which[G3739]was[G2258], and[G2532]which[G3739]is[G3801] to come[G2064]; and[G2532]from[G575] the seven[G2033]Spirits[G4151]which[G3739]are[G2076]before[G1799]his[G846]throne[G2362];
5And[G2532]from[G575]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], who is the faithful[G4103]witness[G3144], and[G2532] the first begotten[G4416]of[G1537] the dead[G3498], and[G2532] the prince[G758]of[G1537] the kings[G935]of[G1537] the earth[G1093]. Unto him that loved[G25]us[G2248], and[G2532]washed[G3068]us[G2248]from[G575]our[G2257]sins[G266]in[G1722] his own[G846]blood[G129],
6And[G2532] hath made[G4160]us[G2248]kings[G935]and[G2532]priests[G2409] unto God[G2316]and[G2532]his[G846]Father[G3962]; to him[G846] be glory[G1391]and[G2532]dominion[G2904]for[G1519]ever[G165]and[G2532]ever[G165]. Amen[G281].
7Behold[G2400], he cometh[G2064]with[G3326]clouds[G3507]; and[G2532]every[G3956]eye[G3788] shall see[G3700]him[G846], and[G2532] they also which[G3748]pierced[G1574]him[G846]: and[G2532]all[G3956]kindreds[G5443] of the earth[G1093] shall wail[G2875]because[G1909] of him[G846]. Even so[G3483], Amen[G281].
8I[G1473]am[G1510]Alpha[G1]and[G2532]Omega[G5598], the beginning[G746]and[G2532] the ending[G5056], saith[G3004] the Lord[G2962], which[G3588]is[G5607], and[G2532]which[G3588]was[G2258], and[G2532]which[G3588]is[G3801] to come[G2064], the Almighty[G3841].
9I[G1473]John[G2491], who[G3588]also[G2532] am your[G5216]brother[G80], and[G2532]companion[G4791]in[G1722]tribulation[G2347], and[G2532]in[G1722] the kingdom[G932]and[G2532]patience[G5281] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], was[G1096]in[G1722] the isle[G3520] that is called[G2564]Patmos[G3963], for[G1223] the word[G3056] of God[G2316], and[G2532]for[G1223] the testimony[G3141] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547].
10
I was[G1096]in[G1722] the Spirit[G4151]on[G1722] the Lord's day[G2250], and[G2532]heard[G191]behind[G3694]me[G3450] a great[G3173]voice[G5456], as[G5613] of a trumpet[G4536],
11Saying[G3004], I[G1473]am[G1510]Alpha[G1]and[G2532]Omega[G5598], the first[G4413]and[G2532] the last[G2078]: and[G2532], What[G3739] thou seest[G991], write[G1125]in[G1519] a book[G975], and[G2532]send[G3992] it unto[G1519] the seven[G2033]churches[G1577]which[G3588] are in[G1722]Asia[G773]; unto[G1519]Ephesus[G2181], and[G2532]unto[G1519]Smyrna[G4667], and[G2532]unto[G1519]Pergamos[G4010], and[G2532]unto[G1519]Thyatira[G2363], and[G2532]unto[G1519]Sardis[G4554], and[G2532]unto[G1519]Philadelphia[G5359], and[G2532]unto[G1519]Laodicea[G2993].
12And[G2532] I turned[G1994] to see[G991] the voice[G5456]that[G3748]spake[G2980]with[G3326]me[G1700]. And[G2532] being turned[G1994], I saw[G1492]seven[G2033]golden[G5552]candlesticks[G3087];
13And[G2532]in[G1722] the midst[G3319] of the seven[G2033]candlesticks[G3087] one like[G3664] unto the Son[G5207] of man[G444], clothed with a garment[G1746] down to the foot[G4158], and[G2532]girt[G4024]about[G4314] the paps[G3149] with a golden[G5552]girdle[G2223].
14His[G846]head[G2776]and[G2532]his[G846]hairs[G2359] were white[G3022]like[G5616]wool[G2053], as[G5613]white[G3022]as[G5613]snow[G5510]; and[G2532]his[G846]eyes[G3788] were as[G5613] a flame[G5395] of fire[G4442];
15And[G2532]his[G846]feet[G4228]like[G3664] unto fine brass[G5474], as[G5613] if they burned[G4448]in[G1722] a furnace[G2575]; and[G2532]his[G846]voice[G5456]as[G5613] the sound[G5456] of many[G4183]waters[G5204].
16And[G2532] he had[G2192]in[G1722]his[G846]right[G1188]hand[G5495]seven[G2033]stars[G792]: and[G2532] out of[G1537]his[G846]mouth[G4750]went[G1607] a sharp[G3691]twoedged[G1366]sword[G4501]: and[G2532]his[G846]countenance[G3799] was as[G5613] the sun[G2246]shineth[G5316]in[G1722]his[G846]strength[G1411].
17And[G2532]when[G3753]I[G1473]saw[G1492]him[G846], I[G1473]fell[G4098]at[G4314]his[G846]feet[G4228]as[G5613]dead[G3498]. And[G2532] he laid[G2007]his[G846]right[G1188]hand[G5495]upon[G1909]me[G1691], saying[G3004] unto me[G3427], Fear[G5399]not[G3361]; I[G1473]am[G1510] the first[G4413]and[G2532] the last[G2078]:
18
I am[G1510] he that liveth[G2198], and[G2532]was[G1096]dead[G3498]; and[G2532], behold[G2400], I am[G1510]alive[G2198]for[G1519]evermore[G165], Amen[G281]; and[G2532]have[G2192] the keys[G2807] of hell[G86]and[G2532] of death[G2288].
19Write[G1125] the things which[G3739] thou hast seen[G1492], and[G2532] the things which[G3739]are[G1526], and[G2532] the things which[G3739]shall[G3195]be[G1096]hereafter[G3326];
20
The mystery[G3466] of the seven[G2033]stars[G792]which[G3739] thou sawest[G1492]in[G1909]my[G3450] right hand[G1188], and[G2532] the seven[G2033]golden[G5552]candlesticks[G3087]. The seven[G2033]stars[G792]are[G1526] the angels[G32] of the seven[G2033]churches[G1577]: and[G2532] the seven[G2033]candlesticks[G3087]which[G3739] thou sawest[G1492]are[G1526] the seven[G2033]churches[G1577].
