The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted (A)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 (B)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, (C)that she might fly (D)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished (E)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent (F)spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [a]Christ.

3 And I will give power to my two (A)witnesses, (B)and they will prophesy (C)one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the (D)two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the [a]God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, (E)fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. (F)And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These (G)have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
The Witnesses Killed
7 When they (H)finish their testimony, (I)the beast that ascends (J)out of the bottomless pit (K)will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of (L)the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, (M)where also [b]our Lord was crucified. 9 (N)Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations [c]will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, (O)and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 (P)And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, (Q)and send gifts to one another, (R)because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
