*
The revelation of Jesus Christ ,
which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place ;
and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John ,
*
who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ ,
even to all that he saw .
*
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy ,
and blessed are those who hear ,
and who keep what is written therein ;
for the time is near .
*
John to the seven churches that are in Asia :
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come ,
and from the seven spirits who are before his throne ,
*
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness ,
the first-born of the dead ,
and the ruler of kings on earth .
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood
*
and made us a kingdom ,
priests to his God and Father ,
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever .
Amen .
*
Behold ,
he is coming with the clouds ,
and every eye will see him ,
every one who pierced him ;
and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him .
Even so .
Amen .
* "
I am the Alpha and the Omega ,"
says the Lord God ,
who is and who was and who is to come ,
the Almighty .
