Revelation
Chapter 1
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his bondservants; what things is essential to happen shortly and he sent and signified it through his messenger to his bondservant John;
1:2 who testifies of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ; as many things as he saw.
1:3 He who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and are keeping the things which have been written in it are fortunate; for* the time is near.
1:4 John to the seven congregations* which are in Asia: grace to you* and peace from God who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne;
1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves* us and bathed us from our sins in his blood;
1:6 and he made* us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him is the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1:7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him and those who stabbed him, and all the tribes of the earth will grieve over him. Yes he comes, Amen.
1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
1:9 I John, your* brother and partner with you* in affliction and the kingdom and endurance which are in Christ Jesus, happened to be on the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:10 I became in the spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a great voice, like that of a trumpet
1:11 saying, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven congregations*: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
1:12 And I turned there to see the voice which spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lamp-stands;
1:13 and in the middle of the seven lamp-stands one similar to a son of man, clothed with a long-robe and girded around the breasts with a golden belt.
1:14 Now his head and his hair were white like white wool, like snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire;
1:15 and his feet similar to polished brass, as if they had been refined in a furnace, and his voice like the voice of many waters.
1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars and a sharp two edged sword came out from his mouth and his appearance was as the sun appears in its power.
1:17 And when I saw him, I fell before his feet like one dead. And he placed his right hand upon me, saying, Do not fear; I am the first and the last,
1:18 and the Living One, and I became dead and behold, I am living forever and ever and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Amen.
1:19 Therefore write the things which you saw and the things which are and the things which are about to happen after these things.
1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lamp-stands is this: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven congregations* and the seven lamp-stands are seven congregations*.
