2 who witnessed to the word of: God and to the witness of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
3 Blessed who readeth, and who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein: for the season is nigh.
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful: witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and loosed us from our: sins in his: blood;
6 and he made us a kingdom, priests to: God and his Father;-to him the glory and the might unto the ages. Amen.
7 Lo, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Yea, Amen.
8 I am the Alpha and the Ō, saith the Lord: God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, your: brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience in Jesus, was in the isle: called Patmos, for the word of: God and the witness of Jesus.
10 I became in Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trump
11 saying, What thou seest, write in a booklet and send to the seven churches: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardeis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;
13 and amidst the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 And his: head and his: hair white as white wool, as snow; and his: eyes as a flame of fire;
15 and his: feet like burnished brass, as refined in a furnace; and his: voice as the voice of many waters;
16 and having in his: right hand seven stars: and proceeding out of his: mouth a sharp two-edged sword: and his: countenance as the sun shineth in his: strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his: feet as one dead. And he laid his: right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
18 and the Living one; and I became dead, and lo, I am alive unto the ages of the ages, and have the keys of: death and of: Hades.
19 Write therefore what things thou sawest, and those which are, and those which shall come to pass hereafter;
20 the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my: right, and the seven: golden lampstands. The seven stars are angels of the seven churches: and the seven: lampstands are seven churches.
