Revelation 1:10-20

10I was in the SpiritG4151 on the Lord’s dayG2250, and I heardG191 behind me a greatG3173 voiceG5456, as of a trumpetG4536 11sayingG3004, What thou seest, writeG1125 in a bookG975 and sendG3992 it to the sevenG2033 churchesG1577: unto EphesusG2181, and unto SmyrnaG4667, and unto PergamumG4010, and unto ThyatiraG2363, and unto SardisG4554, and unto PhiladelphiaG5359, and unto LaodiceaG2993. 12And I turnedG1994 to seeG3708 the voiceG5456 that spake with me. And having turnedG1994 I sawG3708 sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticks; 13and in the midstG3319 of the candlesticks one like unto a sonG5207 of manG444, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breastsG3149 with a goldenG5552 girdle. 14And his headG2776 and his hairG2359 were whiteG3022 as whiteG3022 woolG2053, whiteG3022 as snowG5510; and his eyesG3788 were as a flameG5395 of fireG4442; 15and his feetG4228 like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnaceG2575; and his voiceG5456 as the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16And he had in his rightG1188 handG5495 sevenG2033 starsG792: and out of his mouthG4750 proceeded a sharpG3691 two-edged swordG4501: and his countenance was as the sunG2246 shineth in his strength. 17And whenG3753 I sawG3708 him, I fellG4098 at his feetG4228 as oneG3588 deadG3498. And he laidG5087 his rightG1188 handG1188 upon me, sayingG3004, FearG5399 not; I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the LivingG2198 oneG3588; and I wasG1510 deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 for evermore, and I have the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86. 19WriteG1125 thereforeG3767 the thingsG3778 which thou sawest, and the thingsG3778 which areG1510, and the thingsG3778 which shall comeG1096 to passG1096 hereafter; 20the mysteryG3466 of the sevenG2033 starsG792 which thou sawest in my rightG1188 handG1188, and the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticks. The sevenG2033 starsG792 areG1510 the angelsG32 of the sevenG2033 churchesG1577: and the sevenG2033 candlesticks areG1510 sevenG2033 churchesG1577.
