Revelation 1:12-16

12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And after turning I saw 1seven golden lampstands; 13and 2in the middle of the lampstands I saw one 3like 4a son of man, 5clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and 6wrapped around the chest with a golden sash. 14His head and His 7hair were white like white wool, like snow; and 8His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15His 9feet were like 10burnished bronze when it has been heated to a glow in a furnace, and His 11voice was like the sound of many waters. 16In His right hand He held 12seven stars, and out of His mouth came a 13sharp two-edged sword; and His 14face was like 15the sun 16shining in its strength.
