* 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 . * I was in the Spirit on the Lord ' day , and heard behind me a great voice , as of a trumpet , * Saying , I am Alpha and Omega , the first and the last : and , What you see , write in a book , and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia ; to Ephesus , and to Smyrna , and to Pergamos , and to Thyatira , and to Sardis , and to Philadelphia , and to Laodicea . * And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me . And being turned , I saw seven golden candlesticks ; * And in the middle of the seven candlesticks one like to the Son of man , clothed with a garment down to the foot , and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle . * His head and his hairs were white like wool , as white as snow ; and his eyes were as a flame of fire ; * And his feet like to fine brass , as if they burned in a furnace ; and his voice as the sound of many waters . * And he had in his right hand seven stars : and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword : and his countenance was as the sun shines in his strength . * And when I saw him , I fell at his feet as dead . And he laid his right hand on me , saying to me , Fear not ; I am the first and the last : * I am he that lives , and was dead ; and , behold , I am alive for ever more , Amen ; and have the keys of hell and of death . * Write the things which you have seen , and the things which are , and the things which shall be hereafter ; * The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand , and the seven golden candlesticks . The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches : and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches .
