God Tells John to Write Down What He Sees
9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingship and patient endurance in Jesus,[a] was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.[b]
10 I was in spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard a loud voice behind me, like a trumpet, 11 saying, “Write what you see on a scroll and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
