Apocalipsis 1
Reina Valera Actualizada
La revelación de Jesucristo
1 La revelación de Jesucristo, que Dios le dio para mostrar a sus siervos las cosas que deben suceder pronto; y que dio a conocer enviándola por medio de su ángel a su siervo Juan, 2 quien ha dado testimonio de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesucristo, de todo lo que ha visto. 3 Bienaventurado el que lee y los que oyen las palabras de esta profecía, y guardan las cosas escritas en ella, porque el tiempo está cerca.
Saludo a las siete iglesias de Asia
4 Juan, a las siete iglesias que están en Asia: Gracia a ustedes y paz de parte del que es y que era y que ha de venir, y de parte de los siete Espíritus que están delante de su trono, 5 y de parte de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de entre los muertos y el soberano de los reyes de la tierra.
Al que nos ama y nos libró[a] de nuestros pecados con su sangre, 6 y nos constituyó en un reino, sacerdotes para Dios su Padre; a él sea la gloria y el dominio para siempre jamás. Amén.
7 He aquí que viene con las nubes, y todo ojo le verá: aun los que le traspasaron. Todas las tribus de la tierra harán lamentación por él. ¡Sí, amén!
8 “Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega”[b], dice el Señor Dios, “el que es y que era y que ha de venir, el Todopoderoso”.
Juan ve al Hijo del Hombre en visión
9 Yo Juan, su hermano y copartícipe en la tribulación y en el reino y en la perseverancia en Jesús, estaba en la isla llamada Patmos por causa de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesús. 10 Yo estaba en el Espíritu en el día del Señor y oí detrás de mí una gran voz como de trompeta, 11 que decía[c]: “Escribe en un libro lo que ves, y envíalo a las siete iglesias: a Éfeso, a Esmirna, a Pérgamo, a Tiatira, a Sardis, a Filadelfia y a Laodicea”.
12 Di vuelta para ver la voz que hablaba conmigo. Y habiéndome vuelto, vi siete candeleros de oro, 13 y en medio de los candeleros vi a uno semejante al Hijo del Hombre, vestido con una vestidura que le llegaba hasta los pies y tenía el pecho ceñido con un cinto de oro. 14 Su cabeza y sus cabellos eran blancos como la lana blanca, como la nieve, y sus ojos eran como llama de fuego. 15 Sus pies eran semejantes al bronce bruñido, ardiente como en un horno[d]. Su voz era como el estruendo de muchas aguas. 16 Tenía en su mano derecha siete estrellas, y de su boca salía una espada aguda de dos filos. Su rostro era como el sol cuando resplandece en su fuerza.
17 Cuando le vi, caí como muerto a sus pies. Y puso sobre mí su mano derecha y me dijo: “No temas. Yo soy el primero y el último, 18 el que vive. Estuve muerto, y he aquí que vivo por los siglos de los siglos. Y tengo las llaves de la muerte y del Hades. 19 Así que, escribe las cosas que has visto, y las que son, y las que han de ser después de estas. 20 En cuanto al misterio de las siete estrellas que has visto en mi mano derecha, y de los siete candeleros de oro: Las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete iglesias, y los siete candeleros son las siete iglesias.

Revelation 1
New King James Version
Introduction and Benediction
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, (A)which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must [a]shortly take place. And (B)He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 (C)who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things (D)that he saw. 3 (E)Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for (F)the time is near.
Greeting the Seven Churches
4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from Him (G)who is and (H)who was and who is to come, (I)and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, (J)the faithful (K)witness, the (L)firstborn from the dead, and (M)the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him (N)who [b]loved us (O)and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has (P)made us [c]kings and priests to His God and Father, (Q)to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, He is coming with (R)clouds, and every eye will see Him, even (S)they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
8 (T)“I am the Alpha and the Omega, [d]the Beginning and the End,” says the [e]Lord, (U)“who is and who was and who is to come, the (V)Almighty.”
Vision of the Son of Man
9 I, John, [f]both your brother and (W)companion in the tribulation and (X)kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 (Y)I was in the Spirit on (Z)the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me (AA)a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, [g]“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches [h]which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned (AB)I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 (AC)and in the midst of the seven lampstands (AD)One like the Son of Man, (AE)clothed with a garment down to the feet and (AF)girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and (AG)hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and (AH)His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 (AI)His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and (AJ)His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 (AK)He had in His right hand seven stars, (AL)out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, (AM)and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And (AN)when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But (AO)He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; (AP)I am the First and the Last. 18 (AQ)I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, (AR)I am alive forevermore. Amen. And (AS)I have the keys of [j]Hades and of Death. 19 [k]Write the things which you have (AT)seen, (AU)and the things which are, (AV)and the things which will take place after this. 20 The [l]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are (AW)the [m]angels of the seven churches, and (AX)the seven lampstands [n]which you saw are the seven churches.

Prologue
1 The revelation of[a] Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants(A) what must soon take place.(B) He made it known by sending his angel(C) to his servant John,(D) 2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony[b] of Jesus Christ,(E) whatever he saw.[c] 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy,(F) and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep[d] what is written in it, because the time is near.
4 John: To the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peace(G) to you from[e] the one who is, who was, and who is to come,(H) and from the seven spirits[f](I) before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,(J) the firstborn from the dead(K) and the ruler of the kings of the earth.(L)

7 Look, he is coming with the clouds,(P)
and every eye will see him,

And all the tribes[j]of the earth[k](Q)
will mourn over him.[l][m](R)
So it is to be. Amen.
8 ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’(S) says the Lord God, ‘the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’
John’s Vision of the Risen Lord
9 I, John, your brother and partner in the affliction,(T) kingdom,(U) and endurance(V) that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.(W) 10 I was in the Spirit[n](X) on the Lord’s day, and I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet(Y) 11 saying, ‘Write(Z) on a scroll[o] what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.’
12 Then I turned to see whose voice(AA) it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,(AB) 13 and among the lampstands was one like the Son of Man,[p](AC) dressed in a robe(AD) and with a golden sash wrapped round his chest.(AE) 14 The hair of his head was white as wool – white as snow(AF) – and his eyes like a fiery flame.(AG) 15 His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace,(AH) and his voice like the sound of cascading[q] waters.(AI) 16 He had seven stars in his right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from his mouth,(AJ) and his face was shining like the sun at full strength.(AK)
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.(AL) He laid his right hand on me and said, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last,(AM) 18 and the Living One.(AN) I was dead, but look – I am alive for ever and ever,(AO) and I hold the keys(AP) of death and Hades. 19 Therefore write what you have seen,(AQ) what is, and what will take place after this. 20 The mystery(AR) of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels[r] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands[s] are the seven churches.(AS)
