Revelation 1:17-20

English Standard Version

^17 (A)When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But ^(B)he laid his right hand on me, ^(C)saying, “Fear not, ^(D)I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and the living one. ^(E)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and ^(F)I have the keys of Death and Hades. ^19 (G)Write therefore ^(H)the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. ²⁰ As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and ^(I)the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and ^(J)the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
