Revelation 1

[fn] 1 The revelation of Jesus Christ,[fn] which God gave to him, to show his {servants}[fn] what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, as much as he saw.

3 Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear {the}[fn] {words}[fn] of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from {the one}[fn] who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to the one {loving}[fn] us and {to the one who set [us][fn] free}[fn] from [our][fn] sins by his blood, 6 and[fn] he has made {us}[fn] {a kingdom, priests}[fn] to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion forever [and ever].[fn] Amen.

7 Behold, he is coming {with}[fn] the clouds,[fn] and every eye will see him, even those who pierced [him],[fn] and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Yes, amen.

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, [[the Beginning and the End]]”[fn] says the Lord God,[fn] “the one who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

9 I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and [[in the]][fn] kingdom and perseverance {in}[fn] [[Christ]][fn] {Jesus},[fn] was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and [[for]][fn] the testimony of Jesus [[Christ]].[fn]

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, “[[I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last and]][fn] What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches [[in Asia]]:[fn] to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis,[fn] to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

12 And [[there]][fn] I turned to see the voice that {was speaking}[fn] with me, and having turned I saw seven golden lampstands 13 and in the midst of the [[seven]][fn] lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white like white wool, like snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire; 15 and his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace; and his voice was like the sound of many waters. 16 He had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, double-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead, and he placed his right [[hand]][fn] on me, saying [[to me]],[fn] “[Do not be afraid;][fn] I am the {first}[fn] and the last, 18 [and][fn] the living one, and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever [[amen]],[fn] and I have the keys of {death and of Hades}.[fn] 19 [Therefore],[fn] write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will [[must]][fn] take place after these.

20 “The mystery of the seven stars which you saw {on}[fn] my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars [are][fn] the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands [[which you saw]][fn] are the seven churches.”
