Vision of the Son of Man
9
I, John, both your brother and w companion in the tribulation and x kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10
y I was in the Spirit on z the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
11
saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12
Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned b I saw seven golden lampstands,
13
c and in the midst of the seven lampstands d One like the Son of Man, e clothed with a garment down to the feet and f girded about the chest with a golden band.
14
His head and g hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and h His eyes like a flame of fire;
15
i His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and j His voice as the sound of many waters;
16
k He had in His right hand seven stars, l out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, m and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17
And n when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But o He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; p I am the First and the Last.
18
q "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, r I am alive forevermore. Amen. And s I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
19
"Write the things which you have t seen, u and the things which are, v and the things which will take place after this.
20
"The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are w the angels of the seven churches, and x the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
