[9] I John, who also brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus [10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind a great voice, as of a trumpet, [11] Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. [12] And I turned to see the voice that spake with And being turned, seven golden candlesticks; [13] And in the midst candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. [14] His head and his hairs were white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. [16] And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. [17] And when him, I fell at his feet as dead. And his right upon saying Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, and have the keys of hell and of death. [19] Write the things which and the things which and the things which shall be hereafter; [20] The mystery of the seven stars which in right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which the seven churches.
