CHAPTER 1

:1  The Revelation <G 0602> of Jesus <G 2424> Christ <G 5547>,

which <G 3739>

God <G 2316> gave <G 1325> unto him, to shew <G 1166> unto his

servants <G 1401>

things which <G 3739> must <G 1163> shortly <G 5034> come <G

1096> to pass; and

he sent <G 0649> and signified <G 4591> [it] by his angel <G

0032> unto his

servant <G 1401> John <G 2491>:

:2  Who <G 3739> bare <G 3140> record <G 3140> of the word <G

3056> of God <G

2316>, and of the testimony <G 3141> of Jesus <G 2424> Christ <G

5547>, and of

all <G 3745> things that he saw <G 1492>.

:3  Blessed <G 3107> [is] he that readeth <G 0314>, and they

that hear <G 0191>

the words <G 3056> of this <G 3588> prophecy <G 4394>, and keep

<G 5083> those

<G 3588> things which are written <G 1125> therein <G 0846>: for

the time <G

2540> [is] at <G 1451> hand <G 1451>.

:4  John <G 2491> to the seven <G 2033> churches <G 1577> which

<G 3588> are in

Asia <G 0773>: Grace <G 5485> [be] unto you, and peace <G 1515>,

from him which

<G 3588> is, and which <G 3588> was, and which <G 3588> is to

come <G 2064>; and

from the seven <G 2033> Spirits <G 4151> which <G 3739> are

before <G 1799> his

throne <G 2362>;

:5  And from Jesus <G 2424> Christ <G 5547>, [who is] the

faithful <G 4103>

witness <G 3144>, [and] the first <G 4416> begotten <G 4416> of

the dead <G

3498>, and the prince <G 0758> of the kings <G 0935> of the

earth <G 1093>. Unto

him that loved <G 0025> us, and washed <G 3068> us from our sins

<G 0266> in his

own <G 0848> blood <G 0129>,

:6  And hath made <G 4160> us kings <G 0935> and priests <G

2409> unto God <G

2316> and his Father <G 3962>; to him [be] glory <G 1391> and

dominion <G 2904>

for ever <G 0165> and ever <G 0165>. Amen <G 0281>.

:7  Behold <G 2400>, he cometh <G 2064> with clouds <G 3507>;

and every <G 3956>

eye <G 3788> shall see <G 3700> him, and they [also] which <G

3748> pierced <G

1574> him: and all <G 3956> kindreds <G 5443> of the earth <G

1093> shall wail

<G 2875> because <G 1909> of him. Even <G 3483> so <G 3483>,

Amen <G 0281>.

:8  I am <G 1510> Alpha <G 0001> and Omega <G 5598>, the

beginning <G 0746> and

the ending <G 5056>, saith <G 3004> the Lord <G 2962>, which <G

3588> is, and

which <G 3588> was, and which <G 3588> is to come <G 2064>, the

Almighty <G

3841>.

:9  I John <G 2491>, who <G 3588> also <G 2532> am your <G 5216>

brother <G

0080>, and companion <G 4791> in tribulation <G 2347>, and in

the kingdom <G

0932> and patience <G 5281> of Jesus <G 2424> Christ <G 5547>,

was in the isle

<G 3520> that is called <G 2564> Patmos <G 3963>, for the word

<G 3056> of God

<G 2316>, and for the testimony <G 3141> of Jesus <G 2424>

Christ <G 5547>.

:10  I was in the Spirit <G 4151> on <G 1722> the Lord's <G

2960> day <G 2250>,

and heard <G 0191> behind <G 3694> me a great <G 3173> voice <G

5456>, as of a

trumpet <G 4536>,

:11  Saying <G 3004>, I am <G 1510> Alpha <G 0001> and Omega <G

5598>, the first

<G 4413> and the last <G 2078>: and, What <G 3739> thou seest <G

0991>, write <G

1125> in a book <G 0975>, and send <G 3992> [it] unto the seven

<G 2033>

churches <G 1577> which <G 3588> are in Asia <G 0773>; unto

Ephesus <G 2181>,

and unto Smyrna <G 4667>, and unto Pergamos <G 4010>, and unto

Thyatira <G

2363>, and unto Sardis <G 4554>, and unto Philadelphia <G 5359>,

and unto

Laodicea <G 2993>.

:12  And I turned <G 1994> to see <G 0991> the voice <G 5456>

that spake <G

2980> with me. And being turned <G 1994>, I saw <G 1492> seven

<G 2033> golden

<G 5552> candlesticks <G 3087>;

:13  And in the midst <G 3319> of the seven <G 2033>

candlesticks <G 3087> [one]

like <G 3664> unto the Son <G 5207> of man <G 0444>, clothed <G

1746> with a

garment <G 4158> down to the foot <G 4158>, and girt <G 4024>

about <G 4024> the

paps <G 3149> with a golden <G 5552> girdle <G 2223>.

:14  His head <G 2776> and [his] hairs <G 2359> [were] white <G

3022> like <G

5616> wool <G 2053>, as white <G 3022> as snow <G 5510>; and his

eyes <G 3788>

[were] as a flame <G 5395> of fire <G 4442>;

:15  And his feet <G 4228> like <G 3664> unto fine brass <G

5474>, as if they

burned <G 4448> in a furnace <G 2575>; and his voice <G 5456> as

the sound <G

5456> of many <G 4183> waters <G 5204>.

:16  And he had <G 2192> in his right <G 1188> hand <G 5495>

seven <G 2033>

stars <G 0792>: and out of his mouth <G 4750> went <G 1607> a

sharp <G 3691>

twoedged <G 1366> sword <G 4501>: and his countenance <G 3799>

[was] as the sun

<G 2246> shineth <G 5316> in his strength <G 1411>.

:17  And when <G 3753> I saw <G 1492> him, I fell <G 4098> at <G

4314> his feet

<G 4228> as dead <G 3498>. And he laid <G 2007> his right <G

1188> hand <G 5495>

upon me, saying <G 3004> unto me, Fear <G 5399> not; I am <G

1510> the first <G

4413> and the last <G 2078>:

:18  I [am <G 1510>] he that liveth <G 2198>, and was dead <G

3498>; and, behold

<G 2400>, I am <G 1510> alive <G 2198> for evermore <G 0165>,

Amen <G 0281>; and

have <G 2192> the keys <G 2807> of hell <G 0086> and of death <G

2288>.

:19  Write <G 1125> the things which <G 3739> thou hast seen <G

1492>, and the

things which <G 3739> are, and the things which <G 3739> shall

be hereafter <G

5023>;

:20  The mystery <G 3466> of the seven <G 2033> stars <G 0792>

which <G 3739>

thou sawest <G 1492> in my right <G 1188> hand, and the seven <G

2033> golden <G

5552> candlesticks <G 3087>. The seven <G 2033> stars <G 0792>

are the angels <G

0032> of the seven <G 2033> churches <G 1577>: and the seven <G

2033>

candlesticks <G 3087> which <G 3739> thou sawest <G 1492> are

the seven <G 2033>

churches <G 1577>.
