Revelation 1:12-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹² Then I turned to see whose voice^(A) it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,^{(B) 13} and among the lampstands was one like the Son of Man,^[a](C) dressed in a robe^(D) and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest.^{(E) 14} The hair of his head was white as wool—white as snow^(F)—and his eyes like a fiery flame.^{(G) 15} His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace,^(H) and his voice like the sound of cascading^[b] waters.^{(I) 16} He had seven stars in his right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from his mouth,^(J) and his face was shining like the sun at full strength.^(K)

¹⁷ When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.^(L) He laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last,^{(M) 18} and the Living One.^(N) I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever,^(O) and I hold the keys^(P) of death and Hades.
