¹ Then I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a Beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads, ten diadems on his horns, and blasphemous titles on his heads. ² The Beast I saw resembled a leopard, his feet were like a bear's, and his mouth like a lion's. To him the dragon gave his own power and his own throne and great authority. ³ One of his heads looked as if it had been slain and killed, but the deadly wound was healed, and the whole earth went after him in wonder, ⁴ worshipping the dragon for having given authority to the Beast, and worshipping the Beast with the cry, "Who is like the Beast? Who can fight with him?" ⁵ He was allowed to utter loud and blasphemous vaunts, and allowed to exert authority for two and forty months; ⁶ so he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling (that is, the dwellers in heaven). ⁷ He was allowed to wage war on the saints and to conquer them, and given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation; ⁸ and all the dwellers on earth will be his worshippers, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of Life. ⁹ Let anyone who has an ear listen: — ¹⁰ Whoever is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes: whoever kills with the sword, by the sword must he be killed. This is what shows the patience and the faith of the saints. ¹¹ Then I saw another Beast rising from the land; he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. ¹² He exerts the full authority of the first Beast in his presence, causing the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast, whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ He performs amazing miracles, even making fire descend from heaven on earth in the sight of men, ¹⁴ and by dint of the miracles he is allowed to perform in presence of the Beast, he seduces the dwellers on earth; he bids the dwellers on earth erect a statue to the Beast who lived after being wounded by the sword, ¹⁵ and to this statue of the Beast he was allowed to impart the breath of life, so that the statue of the Beast should actually speak. He has everyone put to death who will not worship the statue of the Beast, ¹⁶ and he obliges all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves alike, to have a mark put upon their right hand or their forehead, ¹⁷ so that no one can buy or sell unless he bears the mark, that is, the name of the Beast or the cipher of his name. ¹⁸ Now for the gift of interpretation! Let the discerning calculate the cipher of the Beast; it is the cipher of a man, and the figures are six hundred and sixty-six.

¹ A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God granted him for his servants, to show them what must come to pass very soon; he disclosed it by sending it through his angel to his servant John, ² who now testifies to what is God's word and Jesus Christ's testimony — to what he saw. ³ Blessed is he who reads aloud, blessed they who hear the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time is near. ⁴ John to the seven churches in Asia: grace be to you and peace from HE WHO IS AND WAS AND IS COMING, and from the seven Spirits before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the prince over the kings of earth; to him who loves us and has loosed us from our sins by shedding his blood — ⁶ he has made us a realm of priests for his God and Father, — to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever: Amen. ⁷ Lo, he is coming on the clouds, to be seen by every eye, even by those who impaled him, and all the tribes of earth will wail because of him: even so, Amen. ⁸ "I am the alpha and the omega," saith the Lord God, who is and was and is coming, the almighty. ⁹ I John, your brother and your companion in the distress and realm and patient endurance which Jesus brings, found myself in the island called Patmos, for adhering to God's word and the testimony of Jesus. ¹⁰ On the Lord's day I found myself rapt in the Spirit, and I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet calling, ¹¹ "Write your vision in a book, and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and Smyrna and Pergamum and Thyatira and Sardis and Philadelphia and Laodicea." ¹² So I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me; and on turning round I saw seven golden lampstands ¹³ and in the middle of the lampstands One who resembled a human being, with a long robe, and a belt of gold round his breast; ¹⁴ his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow; his eyes flashed like fire, ¹⁵ his feet glowed like burnished bronze, his voice sounded like many waves, ¹⁶ in his right hand he held seven stars, a sharp sword with a double edge issued from his mouth, and his face shone like the sun in full strength. ¹⁷ When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man; but he laid his hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and Last, ¹⁸ I was dead and here I am alive for evermore, holding the keys that unlock death and Hades. ¹⁹ Write down your vision of what is and what is to be hereafter. ²⁰ As for the secret symbol of the seven stars which you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lamp stands — the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

⁶ Then I heard a cry like the shout of a great host and the sound of many waves and the roar of heavy thunder — "Hallelujah! now the Lord our God almighty reigns! ⁷ Let us rejoice and triumph, let us give him the glory! For now comes the marriage of the Lamb; his bride has arrayed herself, ⁸ Yea, she is allowed to put on fine linen, dazzling white" (the white linen is the righteous conduct of the saints).

¹ Then I saw another strong angel descend from heaven; he was clad in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, his face like the sun, his feet like columns of fire, ² and a small scroll open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea, his left upon the earth, ³ and shouted aloud like a lion roaring; and at his shout the seven thunders gave voice. ⁴ After the seven thunders had spoken, I was going to write it down; but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, do not write it." ⁵ Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and the earth raised his right hand to heaven ⁶ and swore by Him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, "There shall be no more delay; ⁷ in the days of the seventh angel's voice, when he now blows his blast, then shall the secret purpose of God be fulfilled, as he assured his servants the prophets." ⁸ Then the voice I had heard from heaven again talked to me, saying, "Go and take the small scroll which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and the earth." ⁹ So I went to the angel, saying, "Give me the small scroll." "Take it," said he, "and swallow it; it will taste sweet as honey, but it will be bitter to digest." ¹⁰ Then I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel and swallowed it; it did taste sweet, like honey, but when I had eaten it, it was bitter to digest. ¹¹ Then I was told, "You must prophesy again of many peoples and nations and languages and kings."
