Revelation 1:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

A Vision of Christ

⁹ I, John, your brother who share with you the persecution and the kingdom and the endurance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.^{[a](A) 10} I was in the spirit^[b] on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet^{(B) 11} saying, “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
