Revelation 1:9-20

Wycliffe Bible

⁹ I, John [I John], your brother, and partner in tribulation, and kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in an isle, that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus.

¹⁰ I was in Spirit in the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, [I was in Spirit in the Sunday, and I heard after me a great voice, as of a trump,]

¹¹ saying to me, Write thou in a book that thing that thou seest [saying, That thing that thou seest, write in a book], and send to the seven churches that be in Asia; to Ephesus, [and] to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹² And I turned, that I should see the voice that spake with me; and I turned, and I saw seven candlesticks of gold,

¹³ and in the middle of the seven golden candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a long garment, and girded at the teats with a golden girdle.

¹⁴ And the head of him and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow; and the eyes of him as flame of fire,

¹⁵ and his feet like to latten [and his feet like to dross of gold, or latten], as in a burning chimney; and the voice of him as the voice of many waters.

¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars, and a sword sharp on ever-either side [and a sword sharp on both sides] went out of his mouth; and his face as the sun shineth in his virtue.

¹⁷ And when I had seen him, I felled down [I fell down] at his feet, as dead. And he putted his right hand on me, and said^[a], Do not thou dread; I am the first and the last;

¹⁸ and I am alive, and I was dead; and lo! I am living into worlds of worlds, and I have the keys of death and of hell.

¹⁹ Therefore write thou which things thou hast seen, and which be, and which it behooveth to be done after these things.

²⁰ The sacrament of the seven stars [They mystery of seven stars], which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks; the seven stars be [the] angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks be [the] seven churches.
