The Rider on a White Horse

11 Then I saw heaven opened,(A) and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True,(B) and He judges and makes war in righteousness.(C) 12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and many crowns[a] were on His head. He had a name written that no one knows except Himself.(D) 13 He wore a robe stained with blood,[b](E) and His name is the Word of God.(F) 14 The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. 15 A sharp[c] sword(G) came from His mouth, so that He might strike the nations with it.(H) He will shepherd[d] them with an iron scepter.(I) He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God,(J) the Almighty. 16 And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh:

KING OF KINGS

AND LORD OF LORDS.(K)
