Book of Common Prayer

He sees seven angels having seven vials full of wrath.

15 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous: seven angels having the seven last plagues. For in them is fulfilled the wrath of God. ² And I saw as it were a glassy sea mingled with fire, and those who had gotten the victory of the beast, and of his image, and of his mark, and of the number of his name, standing on the glassy sea, having the harps of God. ³ And they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are your ways, King of saints! ⁴ Who would not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy, and all the Gentiles will come and worship before you, for your judgments are made manifest.

⁵ And after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of testimony was open in heaven. ⁶ And the seven angels that had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in pure and bright linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives forevermore. ⁸ And the temple was full of the smoke of the glory of God and of his power, and no one was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

¹³ When Jesus heard about this, he withdrew from there by boat into an isolated place out of the way. But when the people heard of it, they followed him by foot out of their towns. ¹⁴ And Jesus went forth and saw the crowds of people, and his heart did melt upon them. And he healed among them those that were sick.

¹⁵ When evening was come, his disciples went to him, saying, This is an isolated place, and the day is spent. Let the people depart so that they can go into the towns and buy themselves some food. ¹⁶ But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go away; you give them to eat. ¹⁷ Then they said to him, We have here only five loaves and two fishes. ¹⁸ And he said, Bring them here.

¹⁹ And he directed the people to sit down on the grass, took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. ²⁰ And they did all eat, and were satisfied. And of the pieces that remained, they gathered twelve baskets full. ²¹ And the men that had eaten were in number about 5,000, as well as women and children.
