Revelation 1:10–20

^10pI was in the spirit on ^qthe Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, ^ras of a trumpet, ¹¹saying, ^gI am Alpha and Omega, ^sthe first and the last: and, What thou seest, ^sswrite in a book, and send it unto ^tthe seven churches which are in Asia; unto ^uEphesus, and unto ^vSmyrna, and unto ^wPergamos, and unto ^xThyatira, and unto ^ySardis, and unto ^zPhiladelphia, and unto ^aLaodicea. ¹²And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw ^bseven golden candlesticks; ¹³and ^cin the midst of ^bthe seven candlesticks ^done like unto the Son of man, ^eclothed with ^fa garment down to the foot, and ^eggirt about the paps with a golden girdle. ¹⁴His head and ^hhis hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and ⁱhis eyes were as a flame of fire; ^15kand his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and ^lhis voice as the sound of many waters. ¹⁶And he had ^min his right hand seven stars: and ⁿout of his mouth went ^oa sharp ^ptwoedged sword: and ^qhis countenance was as the sun shineth ^rin his strength. ¹⁷And ^swhen I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And ^the laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, ^uFear not; ^vI am the first and the last: ^18wI am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, ^xI am alive for evermore, Amen; and ^yhave ^zthe keys of ^ahell and of death. ^19bWrite ^cthe things which thou hast seen, ^dand the things which are, ^eand the things which shall be hereafter; ²⁰the mystery ^fof the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and ^gthe seven golden candlesticks. The seven ^hstars are ⁱthe angels of ^jthe seven churches: and ^gthe seven candlesticks which thou sawest ^kare ⁱthe seven churches.
