Revelation 1:1-16

1RevelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which 1GodG2316 gaveG1325 to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take placeG1096; and he signified [it], sendingG649 by his angelG32, to his bondman JohnG2491,

2who testifiedG3140 the wordG3056 of 2GodG2316, and the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, all thingsG3739 that he sawG3708.

3Blessed [is] he that readsG314, and they that hearG191 the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394, and keepG5083 the things writtenG1125 in it; for the timeG2540 [is] near.

4JohnG2491 to the sevenG2033 assemblies which [areG1510] in AsiaG773: GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from [him] who isG1510, and who wasG1510, and who isG1510 to comeG2064; and from the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 which [areG1510] before his throneG2362;

5and from JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the faithfulG4103 witnessG3144, the firstbornG4416 from the deadG3498, and the princeG758 of the kingsG935 of the earthG1093. To him who lovesG25 us, and has washed us from our sinsG266 in his bloodG129,

6and madeG4160 us a kingdomG932, priestsG2409 to his 3GodG2316 and FatherG3962: to him [be] the gloryG1391 and the might to the agesG165 of agesG165. AmenG281.

7BeholdG2400, he comesG2064 with the cloudsG3507, and every eyeG3788 shall seeG3708 him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribesG5443 of the landG1093 shall wailG2875 because of him. Yea. AmenG281.

8I amG1510 the Alpha and the OmegaG5598, saith [the] LordG2962 4GodG2316, he who isG1510, and who wasG1510, and who isG1510 to comeG2064, the AlmightyG3841.

9I JohnG2491, your brotherG80 and fellow-partaker in the tribulationG2347 and kingdomG932 and patience, in JesusG2424, was in the islandG3520 calledG2564 Patmos, for the wordG3056 of 5GodG2316, and for the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424.

10I becameG1096 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 to the sevenG2033 assemblies: to EphesusG2181, and to SmyrnaG4667, and to Pergamos, and to ThyatiraG2363, and to SardisG4554, and to PhiladelphiaG5359, and to LaodiceaG2993.

12And I turnedG1994 backG1994 to seeG3708 the voiceG5456 which spokeG2980 with me; and having turnedG1994, I sawG3708 sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lamps,

13and in the midstG3319 of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] SonG5207 of manG444, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breastsG3149 with a goldenG5552 girdle:

14his headG2776 and hairG2359 whiteG3022 like whiteG3022 woolG2053, as snowG5510; and his eyesG3788 as a flameG5395 of fireG4442;

15and his feetG4228 like fine brass, as burningG4448 in a furnaceG2575; and his voiceG5456 as the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204;

16and having in his rightG1188 handG5495 sevenG2033 starsG792; and out of his mouthG4750 a sharpG3691 two-edged swordG4501 goingG1607 forthG1607; and his countenance as the sunG2246 shinesG5316 in its powerG1411.
