Rotherham(i)
13 and, in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man:––clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
14 And his head and hair, white, like white wool––like snow, and, his eyes, like a flame of fire,
15 And, his feet, like unto glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a sound of many waters,
16 And, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two–edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth in its strength.
17 And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying––Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last,
18 and the Living One,––and I became dead; ––and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.
19 Write, therefore––what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
20 The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold:––The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
