Vision of the Son of Man

⁹ I, John, ^[a]both your brother and ^(A)companion in the tribulation and ^(B)kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Because you have kept ^[a]My command to persevere, ^(A)I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon ^(B)the whole world, to test those who dwell ^(C)on the earth.

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, ^(A)exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, ^(B)“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that ^(A)in Me you may have peace. ^(B)In the world you ^[a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, ^(C)I have overcome the world.”

^2 (A)who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things ^(B)that he saw.

^10 (A)He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; ^(B)he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. ^(C)Here is the ^[a]patience and the faith of the saints.

¹⁴ Nevertheless you have done well that ^(A)you shared in my distress.

¹¹ And ^(A)they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, ^(B)and they did not love their lives to the death.

¹⁴ And I said to him, ^[a]“Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, ^(A)“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and ^(B)washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
