Revelation 1:1-20
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: 2 Who bare record of
the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
 3 Blessed is
he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

4 John to the seven
churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and
which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten
of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed
us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he cometh with
clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all
kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your
brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on
the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha
and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto
the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos,
and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I
turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden
candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven 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. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if
they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his
right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his
countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell
at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am
the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things
which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
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 which thou sawest are the seven churches.
