Revelation 1:13-18

13There was someone like the Son of Man among the lamp stands. He was wearing a robe that reached his feet. He wore a gold belt around his waist.

14His head and his hair were white like wool—like snow. His eyes were like flames of fire.

15His feet were like glowing bronze refined in a furnace. His voice was like the sound of raging waters.

16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun when it shines in all its brightness.

17When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. Then he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the first and the last,

18the living one. I was dead, but now I am alive forever. I have the keys of death and hell.
