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>.
