Revelation 1:12–20

¹²Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw ^aseven golden lampstands;

¹³and ^ain the middle of the lampstands I saw one ^blike ¹a son of man, ^cclothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and ^dgirded across His chest with a golden sash.

¹⁴And His head and His ^ahair were white like white wool, like snow; and ^bHis eyes were like a flame of fire.

¹⁵His ^afeet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His ^bvoice was like the sound of many waters,

¹⁶and having in His right hand ^aseven stars, and a ^bsharp two-edged sword which comes out of His mouth, and His ^cface was like ^dthe sun ¹shining in its power.

¹⁷And when I saw Him, I ^afell at His feet like a dead man. And He ^bplaced His right hand on me, saying, “^cDo not fear; ^dI am the first and the last,

¹⁸and the ^aliving One; and I ^1bwas dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I have ^cthe keys of death and of Hades.

¹⁹“Therefore ^awrite ^bthe things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place ^cafter these things.

²⁰“As for the ^amystery of the ^bseven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the ^cseven golden lampstands: the ^dseven stars are the angels of ^ethe seven churches, and the seven ^flampstands are the seven churches.
