Revelation 12

American Standard Version

1And a greatG3173 signG4592 was seenG3708 in heavenG3772: a womanG1135 arrayed with the sunG2246, and the moonG4582 under her feetG4228, and upon her headG2776 a crownG4735 of twelveG1427 starsG792; 2and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birthG5088, and in pain to be delivered. 3And there was seenG3708 another signG4592 in heavenG3772: and beholdG2400, a greatG3173 redG4450 dragonG1404, having sevenG2033 headsG2776 and tenG1176 hornsG2768, and upon his headsG2776 sevenG2033 diadems. 4And his tailG3769 draweth the thirdG5154 part of the starsG792 of heavenG3772, and did castG906 them to the earthG1093: and the dragonG1404 standeth before the womanG1135 that is about to be delivered, that whenG3752 she is delivered he may devourG2719 her childG5043. 5And she was delivered of a sonG5207, a man childG5043, who is to rule all the nationsG1484 with a rodG4464 of ironG4603: and her childG5043 was caught up unto GodG2316, and unto his throneG2362. 6And the womanG1135 fledG5343 into the wildernessG2048, whereG3699 she hath a placeG5117 preparedG2090 of GodG2316, that there they may nourish her a thousandG5507 twoG1250 hundredG1250 and threescore daysG2250.

7And there was warG4171 in heavenG3772: MichaelG3413 and his angelsG32going forthto warG4171 with the dragonG1404; and the dragonG1404 warred and his angelsG32; 8and they prevailed not, neither was their placeG5117 foundG2147 any moreG2089 in heavenG3772. 9And the greatG3173 dragonG1404 was castG906 down, the oldG744 serpentG3789, he that is calledG2564 the DevilG1228 and SatanG4567, the deceiver of the wholeG3650 worldG3625; he was castG906 down to the earthG1093, and his angelsG32 were castG906 down with him. 10And I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 in heavenG3772, sayingG3004,

Now is comeG1096 the salvationG4991, and the powerG1411, and the kingdomG932 of our GodG2316, and the authorityG1849 of his ChristG5547: for the accuser of our brethren is castG906 down, who accuseth them before our GodG2316 dayG2250 and nightG3571. 11And they overcameG3528 him because of the bloodG129 of the LambG721, and because of the wordG3056 of their testimonyG3141; and they lovedG25 not their lifeG5590 evenG2532 unto deathG2288. 12Therefore rejoiceG2165, O heavensG3772, and ye that dwellG4637 in them. WoeG3759 for the earthG1093 and for the seaG2281: because the devilG1228 is gone downG2597 unto you, having greatG3173 wrathG2372, knowing that he hath but a short timeG2540.

13And whenG3753 the dragonG1404 sawG3708 that he was castG906 down to the earthG1093, he persecutedG1377 the womanG1135 that brought forthG5088 the man child. 14And there were givenG1325 to the womanG1135 the twoG1417 wingsG4420 of the greatG3173 eagleG105, that she might flyG4072 into the wildernessG2048 unto her placeG5117, whereG3699 she is nourishedG5142 for a timeG2540, and timesG2540, and halfG2255 a timeG2540, from the faceG4383 of the serpentG3789. 15And the serpentG3789 castG906 out of his mouthG4750 after the womanG1135 waterG5204 as a riverG4215, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 16And the earthG1093 helpedG997 the womanG1135, and the earthG1093 openedG455 her mouthG4750 and swallowedG2666 up the riverG4215 which the dragonG1404 castG906 out of his mouthG4750. 17And the dragonG1404 waxed wroth with the womanG1135, and wentG565 awayG565 to makeG4160 warG4171 with the restG3062 of her seedG4690, that keepG5083 the commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316, and holdG2192 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424:
