Chapter 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ
The Revelation 602 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, which 3739 God 2316 gave 1325 Him to show 1166 to His bond-servants 1401, the things which 3739 must 1163 soon 5034 take 1096 place 1096; and He sent 649 and communicated 4591 {it} by His angel 32 to His bond-servant 1401 John 2491,
2 who 3739 testified 3140 to the word 3056 of God 2316 and to the testimony 3141 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, {even} to all 3745 that he saw 3708.
3 Blessed 3107 is he who reads 314 and those 3588 who hear 191 the words 3056 of the prophecy 4394, and heed 5083 the things which are written 1125 in it; for the time 2540 is near 1451.
4 Message to the Seven Churches
¶ John 2491 to the seven 2033 churches 1577 that are in Asia 773: Grace 5485 to you and peace 1515, from Him who is and who was and who is to come 2064, and from the seven 2033 Spirits 4151 who 3739 are before 1799 His throne 2362,
5 and from Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, the faithful 4103 witness 3144, the firstborn 4416 of the dead 3498, and the ruler 758 of the kings 935 of the earth 1093. To Him who loves 25 us and released 3089 us from our sins 266 by His blood 129--
6 and He has made 4160 us {to be} a kingdom 932, priests 2409 to His God 2316 and Father 3962--to Him {be} the glory 1391 and the dominion 2904 forever 165 and ever 165. Amen 281.
7 BEHOLD 2400, HE IS COMING 2064 WITH THE CLOUDS 3507, and every 3956 eye 3788 will see 3708 Him, even 2532 those who 3748 pierced 1574 Him; and all 3956 the tribes 5443 of the earth 1093 will mourn 2875 over 1909 Him. So 3483 it is to be. Amen 281.
8 ¶ "I am 1510 the Alpha 256 and the Omega 5598," says 3004 the Lord 2962 God 2316, "who is and who 3588 was and who is to come 2064, the Almighty 3841."
9 The Patmos Vision
¶ I, John 2491, your brother 80 and fellow 4791 partaker 4791 in the tribulation 2347 and kingdom 932 and perseverance 5281 {which are} in Jesus 2424, was on the island 3520 called 2564 Patmos 3963 because 1223 of the word 3056 of God 2316 and the testimony 3141 of Jesus 2424.
10 I was in the Spirit 4151 on the Lord's 2960 day 2250, and I heard 191 behind 3694 me a loud 3173 voice 5456 like 5613 {the sound} of a trumpet 4536,
11 saying 3004, "Write 1125 in a book 975 what 3739 you see 991, and send 3992 {it} to the seven 2033 churches 1577: to Ephesus 2181 and to Smyrna 4667 and to Pergamum 4010 and to Thyatira 2363 and to Sardis 4554 and to Philadelphia 5359 and to Laodicea 2993."
12 ¶ Then 2532 I turned 1994 to see 991 the voice 5456 that was speaking 2980 with me. And having turned 1994 I saw 3708 seven 2033 golden 5552 lampstands 3087;
13 and in the middle 3319 of the lampstands 3087 {I saw} one 3664 like 3664 a son 5207 of man 444, clothed 1746 in a robe 4158 reaching 4158 to the feet 4158, and girded 4024 across 4314 His chest 3149 with a golden 5552 sash 2223.
14 His head 2776 and His hair 2359 were white 3022 like 5613 white 3022 wool 2053, like 5613 snow 5510; and His eyes 3788 were like 5613 a flame 5395 of fire 4442.
15 His feet 4228 {were} like 3664 burnished 5474 bronze 5474, when 5613 it has been made 4448 to glow 4448 in a furnace 2575, and His voice 5456 {was} like 5613 the sound 5456 of many 4183 waters 5204.
16 In His right 1188 hand 5495 He held 2192 seven 2033 stars 792, and out of His mouth 4750 came 1607 a sharp 3691 two-edged 1366 sword 4501; and His face 3799 was like 5613 the sun 2246 shining 5316 in its strength 1411.
17 ¶ When 3753 I saw 3708 Him, I fell 4098 at His feet 4228 like 5613 a dead 3498 man 3498. And He placed 5087 His right 1188 hand 1188 on me, saying 3004, "Do not be afraid 5399; I am 1510 the first 4413 and the last 2078,
18 and the living 2198 One; and I was dead 3498, and behold 2400, I am 1510 alive 2198 forevermore 165, and I have 2192 the keys 2807 of death 2288 and of Hades 86.
19 "Therefore 3767 write 1125 the things which 3739 you have seen 3708, and the things which 3739 are, and the things which 3739 will take 1096 place 1096 after 3326 these 3778 things 3778.
20 "As for the mystery 3466 of the seven 2033 stars 792 which 3739 you saw 3708 in My right 1188 hand 1188, and the seven 2033 golden 5552 lampstands 3087: the seven 2033 stars 792 are the angels 32 of the seven 2033 churches 1577, and the seven 2033 lampstands 3087 are the seven 2033 churches 1577.

1 Message to Ephesus
"To the angel 32 of the church 1577 in Ephesus 2181 write 1125:
2 ¶ ¶ 'I know 3609 your deeds 2041 and your toil 2873 and perseverance 5281, and that you cannot tolerate 941 evil 2556 men 2556, and you put 3985 to the test 3985 those 3588 who call 3004 themselves 1438 apostles 652, and they are not, and you found 2147 them {to be} false 5571;
3 and you have 2192 perseverance 5281 and have endured 941 for My name's 3686 sake 1223, and have not grown 2872 weary 2872.
4 'But I have 2192 {this} against 2596 you, that you have left 863 your first 4413 love 26.
5 'Therefore 3767 remember 3421 from where 4159 you have fallen 4098, and repent 3340 and do 4160 the deeds 2041 you did at first 4413; or 1161 else 1490 I am coming 2064 to you and will remove 2795 your lampstand 3087 out of its place 5117--unless you repent 3340.
6 'Yet 235 this 3778 you do have 2192, that you hate 3404 the deeds 2041 of the Nicolaitans 3531, which 3739 I also 2532 hate 3404.
7 'He who has 2192 an ear 3775, let him hear 191 what 5101 the Spirit 4151 says 3004 to the churches 1577. To him who overcomes 3528, I will grant 1325 to eat 2068 of the tree 3586 of life 2222 which 3739 is in the Paradise 3857 of God 2316.'

9 ¶ ¶ 'I know 3609 your tribulation 2347 and your poverty 4432 (but you are rich 4145), and the blasphemy 988 by those 3588 who say 3004 they are Jews 2453 and are not, but are a synagogue 4864 of Satan 4567.
10 'Do not fear 5399 what 3739 you are about 3195 to suffer 3958. Behold 2400, the devil 1228 is about 3195 to cast 906 some of you into prison 5438, so 2443 that you will be tested 3985, and you will have 2192 tribulation 2347 for ten 1176 days 2250. Be faithful 4103 until 891 death 2288, and I will give 1325 you the crown 4735 of life 2222.
11 'He who has 2192 an ear 3775, let him hear 191 what 5101 the Spirit 4151 says 3004 to the churches 1577. He who overcomes 3528 will not be hurt 91 by the second 1208 death 2288.'

Message to Pergamum
¶ "And to the angel 32 of the church 1577 in Pergamum 4010 write 1125:
13 ¶ ¶ 'I know 3609 where 4226 you dwell 2730, where 3699 Satan's 4567 throne 2362 is; and you hold 2902 fast 2902 My name 3686, and did not deny 720 My faith 4102 even 2532 in the days 2250 of Antipas 493, My witness 3144, My faithful 4103 one 4103, who 3739 was killed 615 among 3844 you, where 3699 Satan 4567 dwells 2730.
14 'But I have 2192 a few 3641 things 3641 against 2596 you, because 3754 you have 2192 there 1563 some who hold 2902 the teaching 1322 of Balaam 903, who 3739 kept teaching 1321 Balak 904 to put 906 a stumbling 4625 block 4625 before 1799 the sons 5207 of Israel 2474, to eat 2068 things 1494 sacrificed 1494 to idols 1494 and to commit 4203 {acts of} immorality 4203.
15 'So 3779 you also 2532 have 2192 some who in the same 3668 way 3668 hold 2902 the teaching 1322 of the Nicolaitans 3531.

17 'He who has 2192 an ear 3775, let him hear 191 what 5101 the Spirit 4151 says 3004 to the churches 1577. To him who overcomes 3528, to him I will give 1325 {some} of the hidden 2928 manna 3131, and I will give 1325 him a white 3022 stone 5586, and a new 2537 name 3686 written 1125 on the stone 5586 which 3739 no 3762 one 3762 knows 3609 but he who receives 2983 it.'

Message to Thyatira
¶ "And to the angel 32 of the church 1577 in Thyatira 2363 write 1125:
19 ¶ ¶ 'I know 3609 your deeds 2041, and your love 26 and faith 4102 and service 1248 and perseverance 5281, and that your deeds 2041 of late 2078 are greater 4183 than at first 4413.
20 'But I have 2192 {this} against 2596 you, that you tolerate 863 the woman 1135 Jezebel 2403, who calls 3004 herself 1438 a prophetess 4398, and she teaches 1321 and leads 4105 My bond-servants 1401 astray 4105 so that they commit 4203 {acts of} immorality 4203 and eat 2068 things 1494 sacrificed 1494 to idols 1494.

Chapter 4
1 Scene in Heaven
After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 I looked 3708, and behold 2400, a door 2374 {standing} open 455 in heaven 3772, and the first 4413 voice 5456 which 3739 I had heard 191, like 5613 {the sound} of a trumpet 4536 speaking 2980 with me, said 3004, "Come 305 up here 5602, and I will show 1166 you what 3739 must 1163 take 1096 place 1096 after 3326 these 3778 things 3778."
2 Immediately 2112 I was in the Spirit 4151; and behold 2400, a throne 2362 was standing 2749 in heaven 3772, and One sitting 2521 on the throne 2362.
3 And He who was sitting 2521 {was} like 3664 a jasper 2393 stone 3037 and a sardius 4556 in appearance 3706; and {there was} a rainbow 2463 around 2943 the throne 2362, like 3664 an emerald 4664 in appearance 3706.
4 Around 2943 the throne 2362 {were} twenty-four thrones 2362; and upon the thrones 2362 {I saw} twenty-four elders 4245 sitting 2521, clothed 4016 in white 3022 garments 2440, and golden 5552 crowns 4735 on their heads 2776.
5 The Throne and Worship of the Creator
Out from the throne 2362 come 1607 flashes 796 of lightning 796 and sounds 5456 and peals 1027 of thunder 1027. And {there were} seven 2033 lamps 2985 of fire 4442 burning 2545 before 1799 the throne 2362, which 3739 are the seven 2033 Spirits 4151 of God 2316;
6 and before 1799 the throne 2362 {there was something} like 5613 a sea 2281 of glass 5193, like 3664 crystal 2930; and in the center 3319 and around 2945 the throne 2362, four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226 full 1073 of eyes 3788 in front 1715 and behind 3693.
7 The first 4413 creature 2226 {was} like 3664 a lion 3023, and the second 1208 creature 2226 like 3664 a calf 3448, and the third 5154 creature 2226 had 2192 a face 4383 like 5613 that of a man 444, and the fourth 5067 creature 2226 {was} like 3664 a flying 4072 eagle 105.
8 And the four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226, each 2596 one 1520 of them having 2192 six 1803 wings 4420, are full 1073 of eyes 3788 around 2943 and within 2081; and day 2250 and night 3571 they do not cease 372 to say 3004, "HOLY 40, HOLY 40, HOLY 40 {is} THE LORD 2962 GOD 2316, THE ALMIGHTY 3841, WHO 3588 WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME 2064."
9 And when 3752 the living 2226 creatures 2226 give 1325 glory 1391 and honor 5092 and thanks 2169 to Him who sits 2521 on the throne 2362, to Him who lives 2198 forever 165 and ever 165,
10 the twenty-four elders 4245 will fall 4098 down 4098 before 1799 Him who sits 2521 on the throne 2362, and will worship 4352 Him who lives 2198 forever 165 and ever 165, and will cast 906 their crowns 4735 before 1799 the throne 2362, saying 3004,
11 "Worthy 514 are You, our Lord 2962 and our God 2316, to receive 2983 glory 1391 and honor 5092 and power 1411; for You created 2936 all 3956 things 3956, and because 1223 of Your will 2307 they existed 1510, and were created 2936."
Chapter 5
1 The Book with Seven Seals
I saw 3708 in the right 1188 hand 1188 of Him who sat 2521 on the throne 2362 a book 975 written 1125 inside 2081 and on the back 3693, sealed 2696 up with seven 2033 seals 4973.
2 And I saw 3708 a strong 2478 angel 32 proclaiming 2784 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, "Who 5101 is worthy 514 to open 455 the book 975 and to break 3089 its seals 4973?"
3 And no 3762 one 3762 in heaven 3772 or 3761 on the earth 1093 or 3761 under 5270 the earth 1093 was able 1410 to open 455 the book 975 or 3777 to look 991 into it.
4 Then 2532 I {began} to weep 2799 greatly 4183 because 3754 no 3762 one 3762 was found 2147 worthy 514 to open 455 the book 975 or 3777 to look 991 into it;
5 and one 1520 of the elders 4245 said 3004 to me, "Stop 3361 weeping 2799; behold 2400, the Lion 3023 that is from the tribe 5443 of Judah 2455, the Root 4491 of David 1160, has overcome 3528 so as to open 455 the book 975 and its seven 2033 seals 4973."
6 ¶ And I saw 3708 between the throne 2362 (with the four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226) and the elders 4245 a Lamb 721 standing 2476, as if 5613 slain 4969, having 2192 seven 2033 horns 2768 and seven 2033 eyes 3788, which 3739 are the seven 2033 Spirits 4151 of God 2316, sent 649 out into all 3956 the earth 1093.
7 And He came 2064 and took 2983 the book out of the right 1188 hand 1188 of Him who sat 2521 on the throne 2362.
8 When 3753 He had taken 2983 the book 975, the four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226 and the twenty-four elders 4245 fell 4098 down 4098 before 1799 the Lamb 721, each 1538 one 1538 holding 2198 a harp 2788 and golden 5552 bowls 5357 full 1073 of incense 2368, which 3739 are the prayers 4335 of the saints 40.
9 And they sang 103 a new 2537 song 5603, saying 3004, "Worthy 514 are You to take 2983 the book 975 and to break 455 its seals 4973; for You were slain 4969, and purchased 59 for God 2316 with Your blood 129 {men} from every 3956 tribe 5443 and tongue 1100 and people 2992 and nation 1484.
10 "You have made 4160 them {to be} a kingdom 932 and priests 2409 to our God 2316; and they will reign 936 upon the earth 1093."
11 Angels Exalt the Lamb
¶ Then 2532 I looked 3708, and I heard 191 the voice 5456 of many 4183 angels 32 around 2945 the throne 2362 and the living 2226 creatures 2226 and the elders 4245; and the number 706 of them was myriads 3461 of myriads 3461, and thousands 5505 of thousands 5505,
12 saying 3004 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, "Worthy 514 is the Lamb 721 that was slain 4969 to receive 2983 power 1411 and riches 4149 and wisdom 4678 and might 2479 and honor 5092 and glory 1391 and blessing 2129."
13 And every 3956 created 2938 thing 2938 which 3739 is in heaven 3772 and on the earth 1093 and under 5270 the earth 1093 and on the sea 2281, and all 3956 things 3956 in them, I heard 191 saying 3004, "To Him who sits 2521 on the throne 2362, and to the Lamb 721, {be} blessing 2129 and honor 5092 and glory 1391 and dominion 2904 forever 165 and ever 165."
14 And the four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226 kept saying 3004, "Amen 281." And the elders 4245 fell 4098 down 4098 and worshiped 4352.
Chapter 6
1 The First Seal--Rider on White Horse
Then 2532 I saw 3708 when 3753 the Lamb 721 broke 455 one 1520 of the seven 2033 seals 4973, and I heard 191 one 1520 of the four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226 saying 3004 as with a voice 5456 of thunder 1027, "Come 2064."
2 I looked 3708, and behold 2400, a white 3022 horse 2462, and he who sat 2521 on it had 2192 a bow 5115; and a crown 4735 was given 1325 to him, and he went 1831 out conquering 3528 and to conquer 3528.
3 The Second Seal--War
¶ When 3753 He broke 455 the second 1208 seal 4973, I heard 191 the second 1208 living 2226 creature 2226 saying 3004, "Come 2064."
4 And another 243, a red 4450 horse 2462, went 1831 out; and to him who sat 2521 on it, it was granted 1325 to take 2983 peace 1515 from the earth 1093, and that {men} would slay 4969 one 240 another 240; and a great 3173 sword 3162 was given 1325 to him.
5 The Third Seal--Famine
¶ When 3753 He broke 455 the third 5154 seal 4973, I heard 191 the third 5154 living 2226 creature 2226 saying 3004, "Come 2064." I looked 3708, and behold 2400, a black 3189 horse 2462; and he who sat 2521 on it had 2192 a pair 2218 of scales 2218 in his hand 5495.
6 And I heard 191 {something} like 5613 a voice 5456 in the center 3319 of the four 5064 living 2226 creatures 2226 saying 3004, "A quart 5518 of wheat 4621 for a denarius 1220, and three 5140 quarts 5518 of barley 2915 for a denarius 1220; and do not damage 91 the oil 1637 and the wine 3631."
7 The Fourth Seal--Death
¶ When 3753 the Lamb broke 455 the fourth 5067 seal 4973, I heard 191 the voice 5456 of the fourth 5067 living 2226 creature 2226 saying 3004, "Come 2064."
8 I looked 3708, and behold 2400, an ashen 5515 horse 2462; and he who sat 2521 on it had the name 3686 Death 2288; and Hades 86 was following 190 with him. Authority 1849 was given 1325 to them over 1909 a fourth 5067 of the earth 1093, to kill 615 with sword 4501 and with famine 3042 and with pestilence 2288 and by the wild 2342 beasts 2342 of the earth 1093.
9 The Fifth Seal--Martyrs
¶ When 3753 the Lamb broke 455 the fifth 3991 seal 4973, I saw 3708 underneath 5270 the altar 2379 the souls 5590 of those 3588 who had been slain 4969 because 1223 of the word 3056 of God 2316, and because 1223 of the testimony 3141 which 3739 they had maintained 2192;
10 and they cried 2896 out with a loud 3173 voice 5456, saying 3004, "How 2193 long, O Lord 1203, holy 40 and true 228, will You refrain 3756 from judging 2919 and avenging 1556 our blood 129 on those 3588 who dwell 2730 on the earth 1093?"
11 And there was given 1325 to each 1538 of them a white 3022 robe 4749; and they were told 3004 that they should rest 373 for a little 3398 while 5550 longer 2089, until 2193 {the number of} their fellow 4889 servants 4889 and their brethren 80 who were to be killed 615 even 2532 as they had been, would be completed 4137 also 2532.
12 The Sixth Seal--Terror
¶ I looked 3708 when 3753 He broke 455 the sixth 1623 seal 4973, and there was a great 3173 earthquake 4578; and the sun 2246 became 1096 black 3189 as sackcloth 4526 {made} of hair 5155, and the whole 3650 moon 4582 became 1096 like 5613 blood 129;
13 and the stars 792 of the sky 3772 fell 4098 to the earth 1093, as a fig 4808 tree 4808 casts 906 its unripe 3653 figs 3653 when shaken 4579 by a great 3173 wind 417.
14 The sky 3772 was split 673 apart 673 like 5613 a scroll 975 when it is rolled 1667 up, and every 3956 mountain 3735 and island 3520 were moved 2795 out of their places 5117.
15 Then 2532 the kings 935 of the earth 1093 and the great 3175 men 3175 and the commanders 5506 and the rich 4145 and the strong 2478 and every 3956 slave 1401 and free 1658 man 1658 hid 2928 themselves 1438 in the caves 4693 and among 1519 the rocks 4073 of the mountains 3735;
16 and they said 3004 to the mountains 3735 and to the rocks 4073, "Fall 4098 on us and hide 2928 us from the presence 4383 of Him who sits 2521 on the throne 2362, and from the wrath 3709 of the Lamb 721;
17 for the great 3173 day 2250 of their wrath 3709 has come 2064, and who 5101 is able 1410 to stand 2476?"
Chapter 7
1 An Interlude
After 3326 this 3778 I saw 3708 four 5064 angels 32 standing 2476 at the four 5064 corners 1137 of the earth 1093, holding 2902 back 2902
