I, John, Heard a Voice Say, Write What You See And Send It To The Seven Churches

⁹ I, John, your brother and co-partner in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in^[a] Jesus, came-to-be on the island being called Patmos because of the word of God and^[b] the testimony of Jesus. ¹⁰ I came-to-be in the Spirit^[c] on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like [the sound] of a trumpet, ¹¹ saying “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches— to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea”.
