1:1 The Revelation <602> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, which <3739> God <2316> gave <1325> (5656) unto him <846>, to shew <1166> (5658) unto his <846> servants <1401> things which <3739> must <1163> (5748) shortly <1722> <5034> come to pass <1096> (5635); and <2532> he sent <649> (5660) and signified <4591> (5656) [it] by <1223> his <846> angel <32> unto his <846> servant <1401> John <2491>:
1:2 Who <3739> bare record <3140> (5656) of the word <3056> of God <2316>, and <2532> of the testimony <3141> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <5037> of all things <3745> that he saw <1492> (5627).
1:3 Blessed <3107> [is] he that readeth <314> (5723), and <2532> they that hear <191> (5723) the words <3056> of this prophecy <4394>, and <2532> keep <5083> (5723) those things which are written <1125> (5772) therein <1722> <846>: for <1063> the time <2540> [is] at hand <1451>.
1:4 John <2491> to the seven <2033> churches <1577> which <3588> are in <1722> Asia <773>: Grace <5485> [be] unto you <5213>, and <2532> peace <1515>, from <575> him which <3588> is <5607> (5752) (5625) <3801> (0), and <2532> which <3588> was <2258> (5713) (5625) <3801> (0), and <2532> which <3588> is to come <2064> (5740) (5625) <3801>; and <2532> from <575> the seven <2033> Spirits <4151> which <3739> are <2076> (5748) before <1799> his <846> throne <2362>;
1:5 And <2532> from <575> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, [who is] the faithful <4103> witness <3144>, [and] the first begotten <4416> of <1537> the dead <3498>, and <2532> the prince <758> of the kings <935> of the earth <1093>. Unto him that loved <25> (5660) us <2248>, and <2532> washed <3068> (5660) us <2248> from <575> our <2257> sins <266> in <1722> his own <846> blood <129>,
1:6 And <2532> hath made <4160> (5656) us <2248> kings <935> and <2532> priests <2409> unto God <2316> and <2532> his <846> Father <3962>; to him <846> [be] glory <1391> and <2532> dominion <2904> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
1:7 Behold <2400> (5628), he cometh <2064> (5736) with <3326> clouds <3507>; and <2532> every <3956> eye <3788> shall see <3700> (5695) him <846>, and <2532> they [also] which <3748> pierced <1574> (5656) him <846>: and <2532> all <3956> kindreds <5443> of the earth <1093> shall wail <2875> (5695) because <1909> of him <846>. Even so <3483>, Amen <281>.
1:8 I <1473> am <1510> (5748) Alpha <1> and <2532> Omega <5598>, the beginning <746> and <2532> the ending <5056>, saith <3004> (5719) the Lord <2962>, which <3588> is <5607> (5752) (5625) <3801> (0), and <2532> which <3588> was <2258> (5713) (5625) <3801> (0), and <2532> which <3588> is to come <2064> (5740) (5625) <3801>, the Almighty <3841>.
1:9 I <1473> John <2491>, who <3588> also <2532> am your <5216> brother <80>, and <2532> companion <4791> in <1722> tribulation <2347>, and <2532> in <1722> the kingdom <932> and <2532> patience <5281> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, was <1096> (5633) in <1722> the isle <3520> that is called <2564> (5746) Patmos <3963>, for <1223> the word <3056> of God <2316>, and <2532> for <1223> the testimony <3141> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
1:10 I was <1096> (5633) in <1722> the Spirit <4151> on <1722> the Lord's <2960> day <2250>, and <2532> heard <191> (5656) behind <3694> me <3450> a great <3173> voice <5456>, as <5613> of a trumpet <4536>,
1:11 Saying <3004> (5723), I <1473> am <1510> (5748) Alpha <1> and <2532> Omega <5598>, the first <4413> and <2532> the last <2078>: and <2532>, What <3739> thou seest <991> (5719), write <1125> (5657) in <1519> a book <975>, and <2532> send <3992> (5657) [it] unto the seven <2033> churches <1577> which <3588> are in <1722> Asia <773>; unto <1519> Ephesus <2181>, and <2532> unto <1519> Smyrna <4667>, and <2532> unto <1519> Pergamos <4010>, and <2532> unto <1519> Thyatira <2363>, and <2532> unto <1519> Sardis <4554>, and <2532> unto <1519> Philadelphia <5359>, and <2532> unto <1519> Laodicea <2993>.
1:12 And <2532> I turned <1994> (5656) to see <991> (5721) the voice <5456> that <3748> spake <2980> (5656) with <3326> me <1700>. And <2532> being turned <1994> (5660), I saw <1492> (5627) seven <2033> golden <5552> candlesticks <3087>;
1:13 And <2532> in <1722> the midst <3319> of the seven <2033> candlesticks <3087> [one] like <3664> unto the Son <5207> of man <444>, clothed with a garment <1746> (5765) down to the foot <4158>, and <2532> girt <4024> (5772) about <4314> the paps <3149> with a golden <5552> girdle <2223>.
1:14 <1161> His <846> head <2776> and <2532> [his] hairs <2359> [were] white <3022> like <5616> wool <2053>, as white <3022> as <5613> snow <5510>; and <2532> his <846> eyes <3788> [were] as <5613> a flame <5395> of fire <4442>;
1:15 And <2532> his <846> feet <4228> like <3664> unto fine brass <5474>, as <5613> if they burned <4448> (5772) in <1722> a furnace <2575>; and <2532> his <846> voice <5456> as <5613> the sound <5456> of many <4183> waters <5204>.
1:16 And <2532> he had <2192> (5723) in <1722> his <846> right <1188> hand <5495> seven <2033> stars <792>: and <2532> out of <1537> his <846> mouth <4750> went <1607> (5740) a sharp <3691> twoedged <1366> sword <4501>: and <2532> his <846> countenance <3799> [was] as <5613> the sun <2246> shineth <5316> (5719) in <1722> his <846> strength <1411>.
1:17 And <2532> when <3753> I saw <1492> (5627) him <846>, I fell <4098> (5627) at <4314> his <846> feet <4228> as <5613> dead <3498>. And <2532> he laid <2007> (5656) his <846> right <1188> hand <5495> upon <1909> me <1691>, saying <3004> (5723) unto me <3427>, Fear <5399> (5732) (5737) not <3361>; I <1473> am <1510> (5748) the first <4413> and <2532> the last <2078>:
1:18 <2532> I [am] he that liveth <2198> (5723), and <2532> was <1096> (5633) dead <3498>; and <2532>, behold <2400> (5628), I am <1510> (5748) alive <2198> (5723) for <1519> evermore <165> <165>, Amen <281>; and <2532> have <2192> (5719) the keys <2807> of hell <86> and <2532> of death <2288>.
1:19 Write <1125> (5657) the things which <3739> thou hast seen <1492> (5627), and <2532> the things which <3739> are <1526> (5748), and <2532> the things which <3739> shall <3195> (5719) be <1096> (5738) hereafter <3326> <5023>;
1:20 The mystery <3466> of the seven <2033> stars <792> which <3739> thou sawest <1492> (5627) in <1909> my <3450> right hand <1188>, and <2532> the seven <2033> golden <5552> candlesticks <3087>. The seven <2033> stars <792> are <1526> (5748) the angels <32> of the seven <2033> churches <1577>: and <2532> the seven <2033> candlesticks <3087> which <3739> thou sawest <1492> (5627) are <1526> (5748) the seven <2033> churches <1577>.
