17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 1fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 2placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “3Do not beG5399 afraidG5399; 4I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078,
18and the 5livingG2198 One; and I 67was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 8the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86.
19ThereforeG3767 9writeG1125 10the things whichG3739 you have seenG3708, 11and the things whichG3739 are, and the things whichG3739 will takeG1096 placeG1096 12afterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778.
