Revelation 11:1-3

New International Version - UK

The two witnesses

11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, ‘Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshippers. ² But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. ³ And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.’
