Revelation 1

1 Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him to shew his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and sending by his angel he signified it to his servant John; 2 who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ — whatsoever things he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things written in it; for the time is at hand.

4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him that is and that was and that is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us and washed us from our sins in his blood, 6 and he made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him be the glory and the might unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those which pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail on account of him. Yea, Amen. 8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, that is and that was and that is to come, the Almighty.

9 I, John, your brother and joint-partaker in tribulation and the kingdom and patience in Christ [Jesus], was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God and [because of] the testimony of Jesus [Christ]. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet, 11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven churches; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lamp-stands, 13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamp-stands one like the Son of man, clad in a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the paps with a golden girdle: 14 his head and his hairs white as white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire; 15 and his feet like fine brass, as glowing in a furnace; and his voice as a voice of many waters: 16 and he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance as the sun shineth in its strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one: and I was dead, and, behold, I am alive unto the ages of the ages; and I have the keys of death and of hades. 19 Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which are about to come to pass after these: 20 the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest on my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands; the seven stars are angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp-stands are seven churches.

Revelation 2

1 To the angel of the church that is in Ephesus write, These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, that walketh in the midst of the seven golden lamp-stands: 2 I know thy works and [thy] toil and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men; and thou hast tried those that call themselves apostles and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 and hast patience, and hast borne for my name's sake, and art not wearied. 4 But I have against thee that thou hast relaxed thy first love. 5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and practise the first works; but if not, I am coming to thee [quickly], and will remove thy lampstand out of its place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh I will give him to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of [my] God.

8 And to the angel of the church that is in Smyrna write, These things saith the first and the last, who was dead and lived: 9 I know [thy works and] thy tribulation and poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but a synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life. 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall in no wise be hurt of the second death.

12 And to the angel of the church that is in Pergamos write, These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword: 13 I know [thy works, and] where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is; and thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein was Antipas, my faithful witness who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, [because] thou hast there some that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also some that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes in like manner. 16 Repent therefore; but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and will fight with them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, I will give him of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth save he that receiveth it.

18 And to the angel of the church that is in Thyatira write, These things saith the Son of God, that hath his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass: 19 I know thy works and love and faith and service, and thy patience, and thy last works more than the first. 20 But I have against thee that thou lettest alone the woman Jezebel that calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and deceiveth my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent, and she willeth not to repent of her fornication. 22 Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit fornication with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth reins and hearts; and I will give you each according to your works. 24 But to you I say, the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine which have not known the depths of Satan (as they say): I put upon you no other burden: 25 but that which ye have hold fast till I shall come. 26 And he that overcometh and he that keepeth my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations; 27 and he shall rule them with an iron rod, — as the vessels of a potter are broken to shivers: as I also received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

Revelation 3

1 And to the angel of the church that is in Sardis write, These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain which were about to die: for I have not found thy works complete before my God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt in no wise know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, he shall be clothed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

7 And to the angel of the church that is in Philadelphia write, These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no one shall shut, and that shutteth and no one shall open: 8 I know thy works. Behold, I have set before thee an open door which no one can shut: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan those that say they are Jews and are not but lie: behold, I will make them to come and do homage before thy feet, and know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is about to come on all the habitable world, to try those that dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never go out more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that cometh down out of the heaven from my God, and my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

14 And to the angel of the church that is in Laodicea write, These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So, because thou art lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich and am become rich and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the pitiable and poor and blind and naked; 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire that thou mayest wax rich, and white garments that thou mayest be clothed and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifested; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes that thou mayest see. 19 I, as many as I love, rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will [both] come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 He that overcometh, I will give him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

Revelation 4

1 After these things I saw, and, behold, a door opened in the heaven; and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet talking with me said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must come to pass after these. 2 [And] immediately I was in the Spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting: 3 and he that sat in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius: and a rainbow round about the throne in appearance like an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were twenty-four thrones: and upon the twenty-four thrones I saw elders sitting clothed in white garments, and upon their heads golden crowns. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6 and before the throne as a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind: 7 and the first living creature like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle. 8 And the four living creatures, having each of them six wings, round about and within are full of eyes; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty that was and that is and that is to come. 9 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne unto the ages of the ages, 10 the twenty-four elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth unto the ages of the ages, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord [and our God], to receive the glory and the honour and the power: for thou createdest all things, and because of thy will they were and were created.

Revelation 5

1 And I saw upon the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no one in the heaven nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no one was able to open the book neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the lion hath overcome that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, that openeth the book and the seven seals thereof. 6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took [the book] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which is the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain and hast bought [us] to God by thy blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation; 10 and hast made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth. 11 And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that is slain to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in the heaven and on the earth and under the earth and [such as are] on the sea and all things in them heard I saying, To him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honour and the glory and the might unto the ages of the ages. 14 And the four living creatures said, Amen: and the elders fell down and worshipped.

Revelation 6

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and, behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon him having a bow; and there was given him a crown: and he came out conquering and that he might conquer.

3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4 And there came out another horse that was red: and to him that sat upon him it was given him to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given him a great sword.

5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and, behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon him had a balance in his hand. 6 And I heard [as] a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and the oil and the wine thou must not hurt.

7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature's voice saying, Come. 8 And I saw, and, behold, a pale horse, and his name that sat on him was death, and hades followed with him; and there was given him authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and by the beasts of the earth.

9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell on the earth? 11 And there was given them [each] a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet for a [little] space, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren should be completed that were to be killed even as they.

12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 13 and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree shaken by a great wind casteth its untimely figs. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth and the great men and the chiliarchs and the rich and the mighty and every bondman and freeman hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they say to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 for the great day of his wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

Revelation 7

1 [And] after this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth nor on the sea nor upon any tree. 2 And I saw another angel rising up from the east, having the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 saying, Hurt not the earth nor the sea nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of the sealed — a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel; 5 out of the tribe of Juda twelve thousand sealed; out of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand; 6 out of the tribe of Aser twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Nephthalim twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Manasses twelve thousand; 7 out of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand; 8 out of the tribe of Zabulon twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand sealed.

9 After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 and they cry with a loud voice, saying, The salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God, 12 saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the strength to our God unto the ages of the ages. [Amen.] 13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These that are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they? 14 And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sitteth on the throne shall tabernacle over them. 16 They shall hunger no more neither thirst any more nor in any wise shall the sun fall upon them nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall tend them and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 8

1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in the heaven about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God; and there were given to them seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given him much incense, that he should give efficacy to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense rose up with the prayers of the saints out of the angel's hand before God. 5 And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar and cast it unto the earth; and there were thunders and lightnings and voices and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they should sound. 7 And the first sounded; and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast unto the earth; and the third of the earth was burnt up, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

8 And the second angel sounded; and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third of the sea became blood: 9 and the third of the creatures that were in the sea that had life died; and the third of the ships were destroyed.

10 And the third angel sounded; and there fell out of the heaven a great star burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third of the rivers and upon the fountains of the waters. 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third of the waters became wormwood; and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter.

12 And the fourth angel sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten and the third of the moon and the third of the stars, that the third of them might be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third thereof and the night likewise.

13 And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to those that dwell on the earth from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three angels that are to sound!

Revelation 9

1 And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fallen out of the heaven unto the earth, and there was given him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke arose out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace: and the sun was darkened and the air by the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts unto the earth, and there was given them power as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but the men which have not the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death and shall in no wise find it, and shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7 And the likenesses of the locusts were like horses prepared for war, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions. 9 And they had breastplates as iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was as a sound of chariots of many horses running unto war. 10 And they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails was their power to hurt men five months. 11 They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon; and in the Greek he hath the name Apollyon.

12 The first woe is past; behold, there come two woes more after these things.

13 And the sixth angel sounded; and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed that were prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third of men. 16 And the number of the armies of the cavalry was two myriads of myriads: I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat on them, having breastplates of fire and of jacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues were killed the third of men, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone that proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails are like serpents and have heads; and with them they do hurt.

20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21 and they repented not of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their fornication nor of their thefts.

Revelation 10

1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow on his head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot on the sea, and the left on the earth, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from the heaven, saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders spoke, and write them not. 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand unto the heaven, 6 and sware by him that liveth unto the ages of the ages, who created the heaven and the things therein, and the earth and the things therein, and the sea and the things therein, that there should be no more space, 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he announced the glad tidings to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven was again speaking with me, and said, Go, take the book that is open in the hand of the angel that standeth on the sea and on the earth. 9 And I went away to the angel, saying to him that he should give me the little book. And he said to me, Take, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey, and when I ate it, my belly was made bitter. 11 And they say to me, Thou must again prophesy of peoples and [of] nations and tongues and many kings.

Revelation 11

1 And there was given me a reed like a rod, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those that worship therein. 2 And the court that is without the temple cast out, and measure it not; for it was given to the nations: and the holy city shall they tread forty [and] two months. 3 And I will give efficacy to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed with sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if any one desire to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any one desire to hurt them, thus must he be killed. 6 These have authority to shut the heaven that no rain fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that riseth up out of the abyss shall make war with them and shall overcome them and shall kill them. 8 And their dead body shall be on the street of the great city which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 And some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their dead body three days and a half, and do not suffer their dead bodies to be put into a sepulchre. 10 And those that dwell on the earth rejoice over them and make merry and shall send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those that dwell on the earth. 11 And after the three days and a half the spirit of life from God entered [into] them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those that beheld them. 12 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up hither. And they went up to the heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And in that hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and there were slain in the earthquake seven thousand names of men: and the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of the heaven.

14 The second woe is past; behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world hath become our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign unto the ages of the ages. 16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit before God upon their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God, 17 saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God the Almighty, that art and that wast; because thou hast taken thy great power and reigned. 18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the little and the great; and to destroy those that destroy the earth.

19 And there was opened the temple of God [that is] in the heaven, and there was seen the ark of his covenant in his temple; and there were lightnings and voices and thunders [and an earthquake] and great hail.

Revelation 12

1 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and being with child she crieth, travailing and pained to bring forth. 3 And there was seen another sign in the heaven; and, behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail draweth the third of the stars of the heaven, and cast them unto the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman that was about to bring forth, that when she brought forth he might devour her child. 5 And she brought forth a male son, who is to rule all the nations with an iron rod: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they should nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon: and the dragon made war and his angels; 8 and he prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in the heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, that is called the Devil and Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world: he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in the heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast out that accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that tabernacle in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! for the devil is gone down unto you, having great fury, knowing that he hath a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the male child. 14 And there were given to the woman [the] two wings of the great eagle, that she should fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished there a time and times and half a time from the serpent's face. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might make her as carried away by a river.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth at the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 13

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet as a bear's, and his mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as slain unto death; and his deadly wound was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? and who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemy; and there was given him authority to work forty-two months. 6 And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle [and] those that tabernacle in the heaven. 7 And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, of whom the name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain, from the world's foundation. 9 If any one hath an ear, let him hear. 10 If any one is for captivity, into captivity he goeth; if any one will kill with sword, with sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I saw another beast rising up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And all the authority of the first beast he exerciseth before him, and causeth the earth and those that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great signs, so that even fire he maketh come down out of the heaven unto the earth before men; 14 and he deceiveth those that dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to do before the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who hath the wound of the sword and lived. 15 And it was given him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause [that] as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, the little and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that they should give them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead, 17 and that no one may be able to buy or sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and his number is 666.

Revelation 14

1 And I saw, and, behold, the Lamb standing upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters and as a voice of loud thunder: and the voice which I heard was as of harpers harping with their harps; 3 and they sing [as] a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song but the hundred forty and four thousand that were bought from the earth. 4 These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These [are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were bought from among men, first-fruits to God and to the Lamb: 5 and in their mouth was found no falsehood; [for] they are blameless.

6 And I saw [another] angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting gospel to announce unto those that sit on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people, 7 saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and [the] sea and fountains of waters.

8 And another, a second angel followed, saying, Fallen [fallen] is Babylon the great, who hath given all the nations to drink of the wine of the fury of her fornication.

9 And another, a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 even he shall drink of the wine of the indignation of God that is mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment riseth up unto the ages of the ages; and they have no rest day and night, that worship the beast and his image, and if any one receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints, that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice out of the heaven, saying, Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their toils; for their works follow with them.

14 And I saw, and, behold, a white cloud; and upon the cloud I saw one sitting like the Son of man, having upon his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came forth out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send thy sickle and reap; for the time to reap hath come: for the harvest of the earth is dried up. 16 And he that sat upon the cloud put his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came forth out of the temple that is in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came forth out of the altar, having authority over the fire, and cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel put his sickle unto the earth, and gathered the fruit of the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the indignation of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came forth out of the winepress unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand six hundred stadia off.

Revelation 15

1 And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful: seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them was finished the indignation of God.

2 And I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those that won the victory over the beast, [and over his image,] and over the number of his name, standing upon the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are thy works, O Lord God the Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations. 4 Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteousnesses were manifested.

5 And after these things I saw, and there was opened the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven; 6 and the seven angels that had the seven plagues came [out of the temple], clad in pure bright linen, and girt round about their breasts with golden girdles. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the indignation of God that liveth unto the ages of the ages. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, from his power; and no one was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

Revelation 16

1 And I heard a loud voice [out of the temple] saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the seven bowls of the indignation of God unto the earth.

2 And the first went away and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and upon those that worshipped his image.

3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, those in the sea.

4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and [into] the fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Righteous art thou that art and that wast holy, because thou hast judged these things. 6 For they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou gavest them blood to drink: they are worthy. 7 And I heard the altar say, Yea, O Lord God the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given him to scorch men with fire. 9 And the men were scorched with great scorching, and blasphemed the name of God that had authority over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for the pain, 11 and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their pains and for their sores, and repented not of their works.

12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings that are from the east* might be prepared. 13 And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits as frogs. 14 For they are spirits of demons working signs, who go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them together unto the war of [that] great day of God the Almighty. 15 (Behold, I come as a thief: blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his raiment, that he walk not naked, and they see not his shame.) 16 And they** gathered them together unto the place that is called in Hebrew Harmagedon.

*Or "sun-rising," as is chaps. 7:2; 21:13.

** Or "he".

17 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a loud voice from the temple [of the heaven], from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since a man was on the earth — such an earthquake, so great. 19 And the great city became three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were found. 21 And great hail as of a talent's weight cometh down out of the heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail; because the plague thereof is exceeding great.

Revelation 17

1 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spoke with me, saying, Come hither; I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth on [the] many waters; 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those that inhabit the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast full of [the] names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was clothed with purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication, 5 and upon the forehead a name written: Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder. 7 And the angel said to me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that beareth her, that hath the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast which thou sawest was and is not, and is to rise up out of the abyss and go into perdition: and they shall wonder that dwell on the earth, of whom the name is not written in the book of life from the world's foundation, when they behold the beast that he was and is not and shall be present. 9 Here is the mind that hath wisdom. 10 The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sitteth on them; and they are seven kings: five are fallen, one is, the other is not yet come; and when he shall have come, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast which was and is not, even he is an eighth and is of the seven and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings which have not yet received a kingdom; but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind and give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them (for he is Lord of lords and King of kings), and those that are with him , called and chosen and faithful. 15 And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put into their hearts to accomplish his mind, and to accomplish one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God shall be finished. 18 And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city that hath kingship over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 18

1 After these things I saw another angel coming down out of the heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illumined with his glory. 2 And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Fallen [fallen] is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a haunt of every unclean spirit, and a haunt of every unclean and hated bird. 3 For of the wine of the fury of her fornication all the nations drank, and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich by the power of her luxury. 4 And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: 5 for her sins have reached unto the heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her as she also rendered, and double [the] double according to her works: in the cup which she mixed mix to her double. 7 How much she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, so much torment and mourning give her. Because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen and am no widow and shall in no wise see mourning; 8 therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burnt with fire: for strong is the Lord God that judged her. 9 And the kings of the earth that committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her shall weep and wail on account of her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing afar off because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour came thy judgment. 11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn on account of her; for their lading no one buyeth any more — 12 lading of gold and of silver and of precious stone and of pearl and of fine linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet; and all thyine wood and all furniture of ivory and all furniture of most precious wood, and of brass and of iron and of marble; 13 and cinnamon and amomum and incense and unguent and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and of horses and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men. 14 And the fruits of the desire of thy soul have departed from thee, and all the sumptuous and the bright things have perished from thee, and never shall they find them any more. 15 The merchants of these things that became rich by her shall stand afar off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16 saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls! 17 for in one hour were so great riches made desolate. And every pilot and every voyager and sailors and as many as trade by the sea stood afar off, 18 and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city! 19 And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had ships in the sea became rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour was she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets: for God hath judged your judgment on her. 21 And a strong angel took up a stone as a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall in no wise be found more. 22 And no voice of harpers and musicians and pipers and trumpeters shall be heard any more in thee; and no craftsman of any craft shall be found any more in thee; and no sound of millstone shall be heard any more in thee; 23 and no light of lamp shall shine any more in thee; and no voice of bridegroom and of bride shall be heard any more in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. 24 And in her the blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all that were slain on the earth.

Revelation 19

1 After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Alleluia! the salvation, the glory, and the power of our God: 2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And a second time they said, Alleluia! and her smoke riseth up unto the ages of the ages. 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen, Alleluia! 5 And a voice came forth out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, the little and the great. 6 And I heard as a voice of a great multitude, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Alleluia! for the Lord [our] God the Almighty hath reigned. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give the glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her it was granted that she should be clothed with fine linen bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints. 9 And he saith to me, Write: Blessed are those that are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true words of God. 10 And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he saith to me, See thou do it not: I am fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were [as] a flame of fire, and upon his head were many diadems; he had [names written and] a name written which no one knoweth but he himself; 13 and he was clothed with a garment dyed with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies that are in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white pure fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth proceeded a [two-edged] sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with an iron rod: and he treadeth the winepress of the wine of the indignation of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in mid-heaven, Come, gather yourselves together unto the great supper of God; 18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chiliarchs, and the flesh of strong men, and the flesh of horses, and of those that sit on them, and the flesh of all, both free and bond, and both little and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with him that sat on the horse and with his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs before him, with which he deceived those that had received the mark of the beast and those that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone. 21 And the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat on the horse — the sword that came forth out of his mouth; and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Revelation 20

1 And I saw an angel coming down from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain upon his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, the ancient serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut and sealed it over him, that he might deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished: after these must he be loosed a little space.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God; and those who had not worshipped the beast nor his image and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand: and they lived and reigned with Christ [the] thousand years. 5 [And] the rest of the dead lived not till the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years shall have been finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 and shall go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up upon the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the encampment of the saints and the beloved city: and there came down fire out of the heaven [from God] and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast also into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also the beast and the false prophet are; and they shall be tormented day and night unto the ages of the ages.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the little, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged each according to their works. 14 And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and the sea is no more. 2 And the holy city, new Jerusalem, I saw coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God. 4 And [God] shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, and no mourning nor crying nor pain shall be any more: for the first things have passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith [to me], Write: for these words are faithful and true. 6 And he said to me, They are done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him that is athirst I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be God to him, and he shall be a son to me. 8 But for the cowardly and faithless and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

9 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, having the glory of God. 11 Its light was like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal; 12 it had a wall great and high; it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: 13 on the east three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and the gates of it and the wall of it. 16 And the city lieth quadrangular, and the length of it is as much as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed — twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall of it, an hundred forty and four cubits, a man's measure which is of the angel. 18 And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold like pure glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone; the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolyte, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprasus, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates severally was of one pearl: and the street of the city pure gold as transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine on it: for the glory of God illumined it, and the Lamb is the lamp of it. 24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory unto it. 25 And the gates of it shall in no wise be shut by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations unto it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing common, and one practising abomination and a lie; but those that are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22

1 And he shewed me a river of water of life bright as crystal proceeding out of the throne of God and the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it and of the river, on this side and on that side, was the tree of life producing twelve fruits, every month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him, 4 and shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night [there] and no need of lamp and sunlight; for the Lord God will illumine them: and they shall reign unto the ages of the ages.

6 And he said to me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets hath sent his angel to shew his servants the things which must come to pass shortly. 7 And, behold, I am coming quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I John was he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and [when I] saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that shewed me these things. 9 And he saith to me, See thou do it not: I am fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren the prophets and of those that keep the words of this book: worship God. 10 And he saith to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: [for] the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him do unjustly still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him practise righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still. 12 Behold, I am coming quickly; and my reward with me to give each as his work is. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are those that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Without are the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and every one that loveth and practiseth a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright [and] the morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; let him that willeth take life's water freely. 18 I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one add to them, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 and if any one shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and out of the holy city that are written in this book.

20 He that testifieth these things saith, Yea, I am coming quickly. Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus [Christ] be with all [the saints. Amen.]
