12 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;

² and being with child she cried, [being] in travail, and in pain to bring forth.

⁵ And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne.

⁷ And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels;

⁸ and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁷ And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.
