Revelation 1:17-20
New King James Version
17 And (A)when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But (B)He laid His right hand on me, saying [a]to me, “Do not be afraid; (C)I am the First and the Last. 18 (D)I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, (E)I am alive forevermore. Amen. And (F)I have the keys of [b]Hades and of Death. 19 [c]Write the things which you have (G)seen, (H)and the things which are, (I)and the things which will take place after this. 20 The [d]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are (J)the [e]angels of the seven churches, and (K)the seven lampstands [f]which you saw are the seven churches.
