Revelation 1:4–15

^4fJohn to ^mthe seven churches which are in Asia: ⁿGrace be unto you, and ⁿpeace, from him ^opwhich is, ^oand ^qwhich was, ^oand which is to come; and from ^rthe seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵And from Jesus Christ, who is ^sthe faithful ^twitness, and ^uthe first begotten of the dead, and ^vthe prince of the kings of the earth. Unto ^whim that loved us, and ^xwashed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶And ^yhath made us kings and priests unto ^zGod and his Father; ^ato him be glory and ^bdominion for ever and ever. Amen.

⁷Behold, ^che cometh ^dewith clouds; and ^devery eye shall see him, and ^fthey also which pierced him: and ^dall kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. ^8gI am Alpha and Omega, ^ghthe beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, ⁱwhich is, and which was, and which is to come, ^jthe Almighty.

⁹I ^kJohn, who also am your brother, and ^lcompanion in tribulation, and ^min the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, ⁿwas in the isle that is called Patmos, for ^othe word of God, and for ^othe testimony of Jesus Christ. ^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.
