66:001:001 The

Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to

shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;

and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant

John:

66:001:002 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of

Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

66:001:003 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of

this prophecy, and keep those things which are written

therein: for the time is at hand.

66:001:004 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto

you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is

to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his

throne;

66:001:005 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the

first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the

earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in

his own blood,

66:001:006 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to

him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

66:001:007 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,

and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth

shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

66:001:008 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the

Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the

Almighty.

66:001:009 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in

tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,

was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God,

and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

66:001:010 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a

great voice, as of a trumpet,

66:001:011 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and,

What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven

churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and

unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto

Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

66:001:012 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being

turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

66:001:013 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the

Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt

about the paps with a golden girdle.

66:001:014 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;

and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

66:001:015 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a

furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

66:001:016 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth

went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the

sun shineth in his strength.

66:001:017 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid

his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the

first and the last:

66:001:018 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for

evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

66:001:019 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which

are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

66:001:020 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right

hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are

the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks

which thou sawest are the seven churches.

66:002:001 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things

saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who

walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

66:002:002 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how

thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried

them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found

them liars:

66:002:003 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast

laboured, and hast not fainted.

66:002:004 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast

left thy first love.

66:002:005 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent,

and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly,

and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou

repent.

66:002:006 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the

Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

66:002:007 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the

tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

66:002:008 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things

saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

66:002:009 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art

rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are

Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

66:002:010 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the

devil shall cast some 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 a crown of life.

66:002:011 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the

second death.

66:002:012 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things

saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

66:002:013 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's

seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my

faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful

martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

66:002:014 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there

them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to

cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat

things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

66:002:015 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the

Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

66:002:016 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight

against them with the sword of my mouth.

66:002:017 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the

hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the

stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that

receiveth it.

66:002:018 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These

things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a

flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

66:002:019 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy

patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the

first.

66:002:020 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou

sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a

prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit

fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

66:002:021 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she

repented not.

66:002:022 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit

adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent

of their deeds.

66:002:023 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches

shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:

and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

66:002:024 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as

have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of

Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

66:002:025 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

66:002:026 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to

him will I give power over the nations:

66:002:027 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a

potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of

my Father.

66:002:028 And I will give him the morning star.

66:002:029 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches.

66:003:001 And unto the angel of the church 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.

66:003:002 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are

ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before

God.

66:003:003 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold

fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will

come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I

will come upon thee.

66:003:004 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled

their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they

are worthy.

66:003:005 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white

raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of

life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before

his angels.

66:003:006 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches.

66:003:007 And to the angel of the church 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 man shutteth; and

shutteth, and no man openeth;

66:003:008 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door,

and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and

hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

66:003:009 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say

they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make

them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I

have loved thee.

66:003:010 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will

keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon

all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

66:003:011 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that

no man take thy crown.

66:003:012 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my

God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him

the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which

is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God:

and I will write upon him my new name.

66:003:013 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches.

66:003:014 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,

the beginning of the creation of God;

66:003:015 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would

thou wert cold or hot.

66:003:016 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I

will spue thee out of my mouth.

66:003:017 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and

have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched,

and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

66:003:018 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou

mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be

clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;

and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

66:003:019 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore,

and repent.

66:003:020 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my

voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup

with him, and he with me.

66:003:021 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my

throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my

Father in his throne.

66:003:022 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches.

66:004:001 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:

and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet

talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew

thee things which must be hereafter.

66:004:002 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was

set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

66:004:003 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine

stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in

sight like unto an emerald.

66:004:004 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and

upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed

in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

66:004:005 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and

voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the

throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

66:004:006 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto

crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the

throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

66:004:007 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like

a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the

fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

66:004:008 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and

they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and

night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was,

and is, and is to come.

66:004:009 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him

that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

66:004:010 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on

the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and

cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

66:004:011 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and

power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure

they are and were created.
