Book of Common Prayer

⁸ And to the angel of the congregation of Smyrna write: These things says he who is the first and the last, who was dead and is alive: ⁹ I know your works and tribulation and poverty, but you are rich. And I know the blasphemy of those who call themselves Jews, and are not, but are the congregation of Satan.

¹⁰ Fear none of those things that you will suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, to try you, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to the death, and I will give you a crown of life. ¹¹ Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.

¹² And to the messenger of the congregation in Pergamos write: This says he who has the sharp sword with two edges: ¹³ I know your works and where you dwell, even where Satan’s seat is; and you keep my name and have not denied my faith. And in my days Antipas was a faithful witness of mine, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you. You have there those who maintain the doctrine of Balaam, who taught in Balak to put occasions of sin before the children of Israel, that they should eat of meat dedicated to idols, and commit fornication. ¹⁵ So also you have those who maintain the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. ¹⁶ Repent and turn therefore, or else I will come to you shortly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. ¹⁷ Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give to eat manna that is hid, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no one knows save the one that receives it.

⁴⁶ And Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ As soon as he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him to come down and heal his son, for he was even ready to die. ⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and wonders, you cannot believe. ⁴⁹ The nobleman said to him, Sir, come away before my child dies! ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, Go your way, your son lives.

And the man believed the words that Jesus had spoken to him, and went his way. ⁵¹ And as he was going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Your child lives. ⁵² Then he enquired of them the hour when the child began to recover. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ And the father knew that it was the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, Your son lives. And he believed, and all his household. ⁵⁴ This is again the second miracle that Jesus did after he had come out of Judea into Galilee.
