Chapters 1-21
Revelation
1:3 -- Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the
words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand.
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must
shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his
servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of
God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he
saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of
this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the
time is at hand.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which
was, and which is to come; and from the seven
Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is
the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince
of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from
our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and
priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever
and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all
kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and
which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the
isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony
of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the
Lord's day, and heard behind me 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 are in Asia; 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 me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven
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 like 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 I saw him, I fell at
his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,
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, Amen; and have the keys of
hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou
hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be
hereafter;
20 The mystery of the seven stars
which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
