Revelation 1:9-15
91I, John, your 2brother and 3fellow participant in the tribulation and 4kingdom and 56perseverance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos 7because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10I was 8in the 9Spirit on 10the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice 11like the sound of a trumpet, 11saying, “12Write 13on a scroll what you see, and send it to the 14seven churches: to 15Ephesus, 16Smyrna, 17Pergamum, 18Thyatira, 19Sardis, 20Philadelphia, and 21Laodicea.”
12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And after turning I saw 22seven golden lampstands; 13and 23in the middle of the lampstands I saw one 24like 25a son of man, 26clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and 27wrapped around the chest with a golden sash. 14His head and His 28hair were white like white wool, like snow; and 29His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15His 30feet were like 31burnished bronze when it has been heated to a glow in a furnace, and His 32voice was like the sound of many waters.
