Revelation Chapter 1

Rev 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things that must shortly take place, and having sent by his angel he made it known to his servant John,
Rev 1:2 who became a witness to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever things he saw.
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that reads and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and that keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who comes, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne,
Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us and that washed us from our sins in his blood,
Rev 1:6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and strength through the ages: amen.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yes, amen.
Rev 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who comes, the Almighty.
Rev 1:9 I John, your brother and companion in the affliction and kingdom and patience in Jesus, was in the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Rev 1:10 I was in-spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a voice great as that of a trumpet,
Rev 1:11 saying: What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that talked with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
Rev 1:13 and in the midst of the candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle;
Rev 1:14 but his head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
Rev 1:15 and his feet were like burnished brass, as if they burned in a furnace, and his voice as the sound of many waters;
Rev 1:16 and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth went forth a sword two-edged, sharp, and his face as the sun when it shines in its strength.
Rev 1:17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not: I am the First and the Last,
Rev 1:18 and that lives, and I was dead, and behold, I am living from age to age, and have the keys of death and of hades.
Rev 1:19 Write therefore the things that thou sawest, and the things that are, and those that shall be after these,
Rev 1:20 the mystery of the seven stars that thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars and angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are seven churches.
