Revelation 1:11-20

11sayingG3004, “1WriteG1125 2on a scrollG975 whatG3739 you seeG991, and sendG3992 it to the 3sevenG2033 churchesG1577: to 4EphesusG2181, 5SmyrnaG4667, 6PergamumG4010, 7ThyatiraG2363, 8SardisG4554, 9PhiladelphiaG5359, and 10LaodiceaG2993.”

12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And after turningG1994 I sawG3708 11sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 12in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 13likeG3664 14a sonG5207 of manG444, 15clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 toG4158 theG4158 feetG4158, and 16wrappedG4024 aroundG4024 the chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 17hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 18His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 19feetG4228 were likeG3664 20burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474 whenG5613 it has been heatedG4448 toG4448 aG4448 glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 21voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 22sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 23sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 24faceG3799 was likeG5613 25the sunG2246 26shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.

17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 27fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 28placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “29Do not beG5399 afraidG5399; 30I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the 31livingG2198 One; and I 32 33was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 34the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86. 19ThereforeG3767 35writeG1125 36the things whichG3739 you have seenG3708, 37and the things whichG3739 are, and the things whichG3739 will takeG1096 placeG1096 38afterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 20As for the 39mysteryG3466 of the 40sevenG2033 starsG792 whichG3739 you sawG3708 in My rightG1188 handG1188, and the 41sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087: the 42sevenG2033 starsG792 are the angelsG32 of 43the sevenG2033 churchesG1577, and the sevenG2033 44lampstandsG3087 are the sevenG2033 churchesG1577.
