La revelación de Jesucristo

La Revelación[a] de Jesucristo, que Dios(A) le dio, para mostrar a Sus siervos(B) las cosas que deben suceder pronto(C). Él la dio a conocer[b] enviándola por medio de Su ángel(D) a Su siervo Juan(E), quien dio testimonio de la palabra de Dios(F) y del testimonio de Jesucristo(G), y de todo lo que vio. Bienaventurado[c] el que lee y los que oyen las palabras de la profecía(H) y guardan las cosas que están escritas en ella, porque el tiempo está cerca(I).

Saludo a las siete iglesias

Juan(J), a las siete iglesias(K) que están en Asia[d](L): Gracia y paz a ustedes(M), de parte de Aquel(N) que es y que era y que ha de venir, y de parte de los siete Espíritus que están delante de Su trono(O), y de parte de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel(P), el primogénito de los muertos(Q) y el soberano de los reyes de la tierra(R). Al que nos ama(S) y nos libertó[e] de nuestros pecados con[f] Su sangre, e hizo de nosotros un reino(T), sacerdotes(U) para Dios, Su Padre[g](V), a Él sea la gloria y el dominio por los siglos de los siglos(W). Amén. Él viene con las nubes(X), y todo ojo lo verá(Y), aun los que lo traspasaron; y todas las tribus[h] de la tierra harán lamentación por Él(Z). Sí. Amén.

«Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega[i](AA) », dice el Señor Dios(AB), «el que es y que era y que ha de venir, el Todopoderoso(AC)».

Visión de Cristo

Yo, Juan(AD), hermano de ustedes(AE) y compañero(AF) en la tribulación, en el reino(AG) y en la perseverancia(AH) en Jesús, me encontraba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesús(AI). 10 Estaba yo en el Espíritu(AJ) en el día del Señor(AK), y oí detrás de mí una gran voz, como sonido de trompeta(AL), 11 que decía[j]: «Escribe en un libro[k](AM)lo que ves, y envíalo a las siete iglesias(AN): a Éfeso(AO), Esmirna(AP), Pérgamo(AQ), Tiatira(AR), Sardis(AS), Filadelfia(AT)y Laodicea(AU)».

12 Entonces me volví para ver de quién era la voz que hablaba conmigo, y al volverme, vi siete candelabros de oro(AV). 13 En medio de los candelabros(AW), vi a uno semejante al Hijo del Hombre[l](AX), vestido con una túnica que le llegaba hasta los pies(AY) y ceñido por el pecho con un cinto de oro(AZ). 14 Su cabeza y Sus cabellos eran blancos como la blanca lana(BA), como la nieve. Sus ojos eran como una llama de fuego(BB). 15 Sus pies se parecían al bronce bruñido(BC) cuando se le ha hecho refulgir en el horno, y Su voz como el ruido de muchas aguas(BD). 16 En Su mano derecha tenía siete estrellas(BE), y de Su boca salía una espada aguda de dos filos(BF). Su rostro(BG) era como el sol cuando brilla con toda su fuerza(BH).

17 Cuando lo vi, caí como muerto a Sus pies(BI). Y Él puso Su mano derecha sobre mí(BJ), diciendo: «No temas(BK), Yo soy el Primero y el Último(BL), 18 y el que vive(BM), y estuve muerto(BN). Pero ahora estoy vivo por los siglos de los siglos, y tengo las llaves de la muerte y del Hades[m](BO). 19 Escribe, pues(BP), las cosas que has visto, y las que son(BQ), y las que han de suceder después de estas(BR). 20 En cuanto al misterio(BS)de las siete estrellas(BT)que viste en Mi mano derecha y de los siete candelabros de oro(BU): las siete estrellas(BV)son los ángeles[n]de las siete iglesias(BW), y los siete candelabros(BX)son las siete iglesias.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which (A)God gave Him to (B)show to His slaves (C)the things which must soon happen; and He indicated this (D)by sending it through His angel to His slave [a](E)John, who bore witness to (F)the word of God and to (G)the witness of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. (H)Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it, (I)for the time is near.

Message to the Seven Churches

(J)John to (K)the seven churches that are in (L)Asia: (M)Grace to you and peace, from (N)the One who is and who was and who [b]is to come, and from (O)the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, (P)the faithful witness, the (Q)firstborn of the dead, and the (R)ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who (S)loves us and released us from our sins [c]by His blood— and He has made us to be a (T)kingdom, (U)priests to [d](V)His God and Father—(W)to Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen. (X)Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and (Y)every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will (Z)mourn over Him. Yes, amen.

“I am (AA)the Alpha and the Omega,” says the [e](AB)Lord God, (AC)who is and who was and who [f]is to come, the Almighty.”

The Vision of the Son of Man

(AD)I, John, your (AE)brother and (AF)fellow partaker in the tribulation and (AG)kingdom and [g](AH)perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos (AI)because of the word of God and the witness of Jesus. 10 I was [h](AJ)in the Spirit on (AK)the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice (AL)like a trumpet, 11 saying, (AM)Write in a scroll what you see, and send it to the (AN)seven churches: to (AO)Ephesus and to (AP)Smyrna and to (AQ)Pergamum and to (AR)Thyatira and to (AS)Sardis and to (AT)Philadelphia and to (AU)Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw (AV)seven golden lampstands; 13 and (AW)in the middle of the lampstands I saw one (AX)like [i]a son of man, (AY)clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and (AZ)girded across His chest with a golden sash. 14 And His head and His (BA)hair were white like white wool, like snow; and (BB)His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His (BC)feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His (BD)voice was like the sound of many waters, 16 and having in His right hand (BE)seven stars, and a (BF)sharp two-edged sword which comes out of His mouth, and His (BG)face was like (BH)the sun [j]shining in its power.

17 And when I saw Him, I (BI)fell at His feet like a dead man. And He (BJ)placed His right hand on me, saying, (BK)Do not fear; (BL)I am the first and the last, 18 and the (BM)living One; and I [k](BN)was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I have (BO)the keys of death and of Hades. 19 Therefore (BP)write (BQ)the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place (BR)after these things. 20 As for the (BS)mystery of the (BT)seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the (BU)seven golden lampstands: the (BV)seven stars are the angels of (BW)the seven churches, and the seven (BX)lampstands are the seven churches.

Greetings and Doxology

John,

To the seven churches(I) in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace to you(J) from him who is, and who was, and who is to come,(K) and from the seven spirits[a](L) before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,(M) the firstborn from the dead,(N) and the ruler of the kings of the earth.(O)

To him who loves us(P) and has freed us from our sins by his blood,(Q) and has made us to be a kingdom and priests(R) to serve his God and Father(S)—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.(T)

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”[b](U)
    and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;(V)
    and all peoples on earth “will mourn(W) because of him.”[c]
So shall it be! Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,”(X) says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come,(Y) the Almighty.”(Z)

John’s Vision of Christ

I, John,(AA) your brother and companion in the suffering(AB) and kingdom(AC) and patient endurance(AD) that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God(AE) and the testimony of Jesus.(AF) 10 On the Lord’s Day(AG) I was in the Spirit,(AH) and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,(AI) 11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see(AJ) and send it to the seven churches:(AK) to Ephesus,(AL) Smyrna,(AM) Pergamum,(AN) Thyatira,(AO) Sardis,(AP) Philadelphia(AQ) and Laodicea.”(AR)

12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,(AS) 13 and among the lampstands(AT) was someone like a son of man,[d](AU) dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet(AV) and with a golden sash around his chest.(AW) 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.(AX) 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace,(AY) and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.(AZ) 16 In his right hand he held seven stars,(BA) and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.(BB) His face was like the sun(BC) shining in all its brilliance.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet(BD) as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me(BE) and said: “Do not be afraid.(BF) I am the First and the Last.(BG) 18 I am the Living One; I was dead,(BH) and now look, I am alive for ever and ever!(BI) And I hold the keys of death and Hades.(BJ)

19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen,(BK) what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand(BL) and of the seven golden lampstands(BM) is this: The seven stars are the angels[e] of the seven churches,(BN) and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.(BO)
