¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and the Living one; and I ^[a]was dead, and behold, I am alive ^[b]for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:

These things saith the first and the last, who ^[a]was dead, and lived again:

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁶ I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things ^[a]for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.

⁴ Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he.

⁶ Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

¹² Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

¹⁷ Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
