¹² Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned ^(A)I saw seven golden lampstands, ^13 (B)and in the midst of the seven lampstands ^(C)One like the Son of Man, ^(D)clothed with a garment down to the feet and ^(E)girded about the chest with a golden band. ¹⁴ His head and ^(F)hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and ^(G)His eyes like a flame of fire; ^15 (H)His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and ^(I)His voice as the sound of many waters; ^16 (J)He had in His right hand seven stars, ^(K)out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, ^(L)and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

²⁰ The ^[a]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are ^(A)the ^[b]angels of the seven churches, and ^(B)the seven lampstands ^[c]which you saw are the seven churches.
