The angels pour out their vials full of wrath.

16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways; pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth.

² And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a foul and a grievous sore upon all who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image.

³ And the second angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man. And every living thing died in the sea.

⁴ And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and springs of waters, and they turned to blood. ⁵ And I heard an angel say, Lord who is and who was, you are righteous and holy, because you have given such judgments. ⁶ For they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and therefore you have given them blood to drink, for they have deserved it.

⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, It is so, Lord God Almighty; true and righteous are your judgments.

⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power was given to him to afflict people with the heat of fire. ⁹ And the people raged in the great heat, and spoke evil of the name of God, who has power over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give him glory.

¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom was made dark. And people gnawed their tongues for suffering, ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven for the anguish and pain of their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, to prepare the ways of the kings of the east. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief. Happy is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he be found naked and men see his shame.

¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon.

¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured his vial out into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, It is done! ¹⁸ And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings. And there was a great earthquake, such as was not since man has been upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. ¹⁹ And the great city was divided into three parts. And the cities of all the nations fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. ²⁰ Every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And there fell out of heaven a great hail, as if of talents, upon people. And the people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for it was great, and the plague of it sore.

The true vine. The husbandman and the branches. A doctrine of love. A sweet comfort against persecutions.

15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch that does not bear fruit in me, he will take away. And every branch that bears fruit he will prune, so that it may bring forth more fruit. ³ Now you are clean through the words that I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and let me abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, no more can you unless you abide in me.

⁵ I am the vine and you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit. For without me you can do nothing. ⁶ If a person does not abide in me, he is cast forth like a branch, and is withered; and men gather it and cast it into the fire, and it burns. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words also abide in you, ask what you will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ In this is my Father glorified: that you bear much fruit and be made my disciples.

⁹ As the Father has loved me, even so have I loved you. Continue in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

¹¹ These things I have spoken to you so that my joy may remain in you, and so that your joy may be full.

¹² This is my commandment: that you love together, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love than this has no man, than to bestow his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. ¹⁵ Henceforth I do not call you servants, for the servant knows not what his lord does, but I have called you friends. For all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should endure; that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he should give it to you.

¹⁷ This I command you: love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. However because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the saying that I said to you: the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, so will they persecute you. If they have kept my sayings, so will they keep yours. ²¹ But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they have not known him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin. But now they have nothing to cloak their sin with.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father. ²⁴ If I had not done works among them which no other man did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen, and yet have hated both me and my Father, ²⁵ even so that the saying is fulfilled that is written in their law: They hated me without a cause.

²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, which is the Spirit of truth who proceeds of the Father, he will testify of me. ²⁷ And you shall bear witness also, because you have been with me from the beginning.
