Revelation 1:10-19
10I was 12in the SpiritG4151 on 3the Lord’sG2960 dayG2250, and I heardG191 behindG3694 me a loudG3173 voiceG5456 4likeG5613 the sound of a trumpetG4536, 11sayingG3004, “5WriteG1125 in a 6bookG975 whatG3739 you seeG991, and sendG3992 it to the 7sevenG2033 churchesG1577: to 8EphesusG2181 and to 9SmyrnaG4667 and to 10PergamumG4010 and to 11ThyatiraG2363 and to 12SardisG4554 and to 13PhiladelphiaG5359 and to 14LaodiceaG2993.”
12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And having turnedG1994 I sawG3708 15sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 16in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 17likeG3664 18a sonG5207 of manG444, 19clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 to the feetG4158, and 20girdedG4024 acrossG4314 His chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 21hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 22His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 23feetG4228 were likeG3664 burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474, whenG5613 it has been madeG4448 to glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 24voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 25sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 26sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 27faceG3799 was likeG5613 28the sunG2246 29shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.
17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 30fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 31placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “32Do not be afraidG5399; 33I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the 34livingG2198 One; and I 3536was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 37the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86. 19ThereforeG3767 38writeG1125 39the things whichG3739 you have seenG3708, and the things whichG3739 are, and the things whichG3739 will takeG1096 placeG1096 40afterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778.
