12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And after turningG1994 I sawG3708 1sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 2in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 3likeG3664 4a sonG5207 of manG444, 5clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 toG4158 theG4158 feetG4158, and 6wrappedG4024 aroundG4024 the chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 7hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 8His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 9feetG4228 were likeG3664 10burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474 whenG5613 it has been heatedG4448 toG4448 aG4448 glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 11voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 12sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 13sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 14faceG3799 was likeG5613 15the sunG2246 16shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.
17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 17fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 18placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “19Do not beG5399 afraidG5399; 20I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the 21livingG2198 One; and I 2223was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 24the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86. 19ThereforeG3767 25writeG1125 26the things whichG3739 you have seenG3708, 27and the things whichG3739 are, and the things whichG3739 will takeG1096 placeG1096 28afterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778.
