1 THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, that he might show to his servants the things that must shortly come to pass; and he sent it by his angel, and made it known to his servant John,
2 who bore testimony to the word of God, and recorded the testimony of Jesus Christ, what ever things he saw.
3 Blessed is he that reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia, grace be to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us, and that has washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 and has made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and might from age to age. Amen.
7 Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those also who pierced him: and all the tribes of the land shall lament because of him. Even so. Amen.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, your brother and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice like that of a trumpet,
11 saying: What you see, write in a book, and send to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
