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.
