1This book is the record of the events that Jesus Christ revealed. God gave him this revelation in order to show to his servants what must happen very soon.

4From John to the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace be yours from God, who is, who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits in front of his throne,G2491G2033G1577G3588G1722G773G5485G5213G2532G1515G575G3588G5607G3801G2532G3588G2258G3801G2532G3588G2064G3801G2532G575G2033G4151G3739G2076G1799G846G2362
5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first to be raised from death and who is also the ruler of the kings of the world. He loves us, and by his sacrificial death he has freed us from our sinsG2532G575G2424G5547G4103G3144G4416G1537G3498G2532G758G935G1093G25G2248G2532G3068G2248G575G2257G266G1722G846G129
6and made us a kingdom of priests to serve his God and Father. To Jesus Christ be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.G2532G4160G2248G935G2532G2409G2316G2532G846G3962G846G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281
7Look, he is coming on the clouds! Everyone will see him, including those who pierced him. All peoples on earth will mourn over him. So shall it be!G2400G2064G3326G3507G2532G3956G3788G3700G846G2532G3748G1574G846G2532G3956G5443G1093G2875G1909G846G3483G281
8"I am the first and the last," says the Lord God Almighty, who is, who was, and who is to come.G1473G1510G1G2532G5598G746G2532G5056G3004G2962G3588G5607G3801G2532G3588G2258G3801G2532G3588G2064G3801G3841

A Vision of Christ

9I am John, your brother, and as a follower of Jesus I am your partner in patiently enduring the suffering that comes to those who belong to his Kingdom. I was put on the island of Patmos because I had proclaimed God's word and the truth that Jesus revealed.G1473G2491G3588G2532G5216G80G2532G4791G1722G2347G2532G1722G932G2532G5281G2424G5547G1096G1722G3520G2564G3963G1223G3056G2316G2532G1223G3141G2424G5547
10On the Lord's day the Spirit took control of me, and I heard a loud voice, that sounded like a trumpet, speaking behind me.G1096G1722G4151G1722G2960G2250G2532G191G3694G3450G3173G5456G5613G4536
11It said, "Write down what you see, and send the book to the churches in these seven cities: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."G3004G1473G1510G1G2532G5598G4413G2532G2078G2532G3739G991G1125G1519G975G2532G3992G2033G1577G3588G1722G773G1519G2181G2532G1519G4667G2532G1519G4010G2532G1519G2363G2532G1519G4554G2532G1519G5359G2532G1519G2993
12I turned around to see who was talking to me, and I saw seven gold lampstands,G2532G1994G991G5456G3748G2980G3326G1700G2532G1994G1492G2033G5552G3087
13and among them there was what looked like a human being, wearing a robe that reached to his feet, and a gold band around his chest.G2532G1722G3319G2033G3087G3664G5207G444G1746G4158G2532G4024G4314G3149G5552G2223
14His hair was white as wool, or as snow, and his eyes blazed like fire;G1161G846G2776G2532G2359G3022G5616G2053G3022G5613G5510G2532G846G3788G5613G5395G4442
15his feet shone like brass that has been refined and polished, and his voice sounded like a roaring waterfall.G2532G846G4228G3664G5474G5613G4448G1722G2575G2532G846G5456G5613G5456G4183G5204
16He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face was as bright as the midday sun.G2532G2192G1722G846G1188G5495G2033G792G2532G1537G846G4750G1607G3691G1366G4501G2532G846G3799G5613G2246G5316G1722G846G1411
17When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the first and the last.G2532G3753G1492G846G4098G4314G846G4228G5613G3498G2532G2007G846G1188G5495G1909G1691G3004G3427G5399G3361G1473G1510G4413G2532G2078
18I am the living one! I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead.G2532G2198G2532G1096G3498G2532G2400G1510G2198G1519G165G165G281G2532G2192G2807G86G2532G2288
19Write, then, the things you see, both the things that are now and the things that will happen afterward.G1125G3739G1492G2532G3739G1526G2532G3739G3195G1096G3326G5023
20Here is the secret meaning of the seven stars that you see in my right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.G3466G2033G792G3739G1492G1909G3450G1188G2532G2033G5552G3087G2033G792G1526G32G2033G1577G2532G2033G3087G3739G1492G1526G2033G1577
