Revelation Chapter 1

Rev 1:1 THE revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophesy, and observe those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand.
Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace be unto you, and peace from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth: Unto him that loved us, and loosed us from our sins in his own blood.
Rev 1:6 And hath made us a kingdom, and priests unto God, and his father; to whom be glory and dominion for ever. Amen.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him: even so, Amen.
Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Rev 1:9 I John, who am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience in Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus
Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev 1:11 Saying, what thou seest, write in a book, and send unto the seven churches, unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamus, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto the son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 His head and hairs white like wooll, as white as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire.
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Rev 1:16 And in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance as the sun shineth in his strength.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right hand upon me, saying. Fear not; I am the first begotten, and the last:
Rev 1:18 He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore; and have the keys of hades and of death.
Rev 1:19 Write therefore the things which thou haft seen; and the things which are; and the things which shall be hereafter;
Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks, are the seven churches.
