Book of Common Prayer
One of The Seven Angels Takes John To See The Judgment of Babylon The Great
17 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute sitting on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed-sexual-immorality, and the ones dwelling-in the earth[a] got-drunk from the wine of her sexual-immorality”. 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit[b] to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast being-full-of names of [c] blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman had been clothed-with[d] purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and with precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand being-full of abominations[e] and[f] the impure things of her sexual-immorality, 5 and a name having been written upon her forehead, a mystery[g]: “Babylon the Great, the mother of the prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth”. 6 And I saw the woman being-drunk from the blood of the saints, and[h] from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.
The Angel Explains The Mystery of The Great Prostitute And The Beast
And having seen her, I wondered with great wonder. 7 And the angel said to me, “For what reason do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast carrying her— the one having the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast which you saw was and is not and is going to come-up out of the abyss. And he goes to destruction. And the ones dwelling upon the earth whose name has not been written on the book of life since the foundation of the world will be caused-to-marvel while seeing the beast, because he was and is not and will be present[i]. 9 Here[j] is the mind having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits on them, and they are seven kings. 10 The five fell, the one is, the other did not yet come. And when he comes, he must remain a short time. 11 And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth. And he is from[k] the seven. And he goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings[l] who did not-yet receive a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour[m]. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will wage-war against the Lamb. And the Lamb[n] will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and the ones with Him are called ones and chosen ones and faithful ones”.
Jesus Walks Across The Raging Sea To His Disciples. They Say, Truly You Are God’s Son
22 And immediately He compelled[a] the disciples to get into the boat and to be going ahead of Him to the other side while[b] He sent-away the crowds. 23 And having sent-away the crowds, He went up on the mountain privately to pray. And having become evening[c], He was there alone. 24 And the boat was already many stades[d] distant from the land, being tormented by the waves. For the wind was contrary. 25 And He came to them in the fourth watch[e] of the night, walking across[f] the sea. 26 But the disciples, having seen Him walking on the sea, were frightened, saying that “It is a phantom[g]”. And they cried-out from the fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take-courage, I am[h] the One. Do not be afraid[i]”. 28 But having responded to Him, Peter said, “Master, if You are[j] the One, order me to come to You across the waters”. 29 And the One said, “Come”. And having gone down from the boat, Peter walked across the waters and came[k] to Jesus. 30 But seeing the strong wind, he became afraid. And having begun to sink, he cried-out, saying, “Master, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched-out His hand, took-hold-of him. And He says to him, “One of-little-faith, for what purpose[l] did you doubt?” 32 And they having gone-up[m] into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And the ones in the boat gave-worship[n] to Him, saying, “Truly[o] You are God’s Son”.
In Gennesaret, All Who Just Touch The Tassel of His Garment Are Healed
34 And having crossed-over, they came on land in Gennesaret. 35 And having recognized Him, the men of that place sent out into that whole surrounding-region. And they brought to Him all the ones being ill. 36 And they were begging Him that they might only touch the tassel of His garment. And all-who touched it were restored.
