13and 1in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 2likeG3664 3a sonG5207 of manG444, 4clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 toG4158 theG4158 feetG4158, and 5wrappedG4024 aroundG4024 the chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 6hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 7His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 8feetG4228 were likeG3664 9burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474 whenG5613 it has been heatedG4448 toG4448 aG4448 glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 10voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 11sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 12sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 13faceG3799 was likeG5613 14the sunG2246 15shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.
17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 16fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 17placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “18Do not beG5399 afraidG5399; 19I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the 20livingG2198 One; and I 2122was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 23the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86. 19ThereforeG3767 24writeG1125 25the things whichG3739 you have seenG3708, 26and the things whichG3739 are, and the things whichG3739 will takeG1096 placeG1096 27afterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 20As for the 28mysteryG3466 of the 29sevenG2033 starsG792 whichG3739 you sawG3708 in My rightG1188 handG1188, and the 30sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087: the 31sevenG2033 starsG792 are the angelsG32 of 32the sevenG2033 churchesG1577, and the sevenG2033 33lampstandsG3087 are the sevenG2033 churchesG1577.
