Jubilee2000 - Revelation of John

Chapter 1

1:1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which are convenient to do quickly, and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John,

1:2  who bore witness of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

1:3  Blessed is he that reads and those that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein, for the time [is] at hand.

1:4  John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne

1:5  and from Jesus, the 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 with his own blood

1:6  and has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1:7  Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him and those [also] who pierced him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail over him. Even so, Amen.

1:8  I AM the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

1:9  I John, your brother and participant in the tribulation and in the kingdom and in the patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

1:10  I was in the Spirit in the day of the Lord and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,

1:11  that said, I AM the Alpha and the 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.

1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks

1:13  and in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle.

1:14  His head and [his] hairs [were] white like white wool, as the snow, and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire

1:15  and his feet like unto brilliant metal as if they burned in a furnace and his voice as the sound of many waters.

1:16  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 when [it] shines in its strength.

1:17  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,

1:18  and he that lives and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of Hades and of death.

1:19  Write the things which thou hast seen and the things which are and the things which must be after these.

1:20  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.:

Chapter 2

2:1  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things, saith he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:

2:2  I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear those who are evil; and thou hast tried those who say they are apostles and are not and hast found them liars,

2:3  and hast suffered, and doth suffer and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted.

2:4  Nevertheless I have against thee that thou hast left thy first [love], charity.

2:5  Remember, therefore, from where 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 its place, except thou repent.

2:6  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

2:7  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

2:8  And unto the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things, saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive:

2:9  I know thy works and tribulation and poverty, (but thou art rich), and [I know] the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.

2:10  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 the crown of life.

2:11  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things, saith he, who has the sharp sword with two edges:

2:13  I know thy works and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's throne [is], and thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwellest.

2:14  But I have a few things against thee because thou hast there those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit fornication.

2:15  So hast thou also those that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.

2:16  Repent, or else I will come unto thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a small white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no one knows except the one that receives [it].

2:18  And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things, saith the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire and his feet like unto brilliant metal:

2:19  I have known thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works and the last [to be] more than the first.

2:20  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel (who calls herself a prophetess) to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

2:21  And I have given her time to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.

2:22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation unless they repent of their deeds.

2:23  And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I AM he that searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.

2:24  But unto you I say and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine and who have not known the depths of Satan (as they say); I will put upon you no other burden

2:25  But that which ye have [already] hold fast until I come.

2:26  And he that overcomes and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the Gentiles;

2:27  and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter they shall be broken to shivers, even as I received of my Father.

2:28  And I will give him the morning star.

2:29  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.:

Chapter 3

3:1  And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things, saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest and art dead.

3:2  Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die; for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3:3  Remember, therefore, of that which thou hast received and heard and hold to it and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

3:4  Thou hast a few persons also in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

3:5  He that overcomes shall likewise 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.

3:6  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things, saith he that is Holy and True, he who has the key of David, who opens and no one shuts and shuts, and no one opens;

3:8  I know thy works; behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no one can shut it, for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and hast not denied my name.

3:9  Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie; behold, I will constrain them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee.

3:10  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 entre world, to try those that dwell upon the earth.

3:11  Behold, I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.

3:12  He that overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God [which is] the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from [and] with my God, and [I will write upon him] my new name.

3:13  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; Behold, he who saith, Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.

3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

3:17  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,

3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined in the fire, that thou may be made rich; and clothed in white raiment, so that the shame of thy nakedness not be uncovered; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou may see.

3:19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore, and repent.

3:20  Behold, I stand at the door and call; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with me.

3:21  To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and have sat down with my Father in his throne.

3:22  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.:

Chapter 4

4:1  After these things I looked, and, behold, an open door in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, was like a trumpet that spoke with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show thee the things that need to be done after these.

4:2  And immediately I was in the spirit, and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and there was one seated upon the throne.

4:3  And he that was seated was like a jasper and a sardine stone to look upon; and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4:4  And round about the throne [were] twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

4:5  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.

4:6  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 animals full of eyes in front and behind.

4:7  And the first animal [was] like a lion and the second animal like a calf, and the third animal had a face as a man, and the fourth animal [was] like a flying eagle.

4:8  And the four animals had each of them six wings about [him], and [they were] full of eyes within, and they did not cease day or night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

4:9  And when those animals give glory and honour and praise to the one that is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

4:10  the twenty-four elders fall down before him that is seated on the throne and worship him that lives for ever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

4:11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and virtue; for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they have their being and were created.:

Chapter 5

5:1  And I saw in the right hand of him that was seated on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

5:2  And I saw a strong angel preaching with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose its seals?

5:3  And no one was able not in the heaven nor in the earth neither under the earth to open the book neither to look upon it.

5:4  And I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the book nor to read it neither to look upon it.

5:5  And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, who has overcome to open the book and to loose its seven seals.

5:6  And I saw, and, behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four animals and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

5:7  And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that was seated upon the throne.

5:8  And when he had taken the book, the four animals and the twenty-four elders fell [on their faces] before the Lamb, each one of them having harps, and golden vials full of incense, which are the prayers of saints.

5:9  And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us unto God by thy blood, out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation

5:10  and hast made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.

5:11  And I beheld, and I heard [the] voice of many angels round about the throne and of the animals and of the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

5:12  saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to take power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.

5:13  And I heard every creature which is in heaven and upon the earth and under the earth and such as are upon the sea and all that are in it, saying, Blessing and honour and glory and power, [be] unto him that is seated upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

5:14  And the four animals said, Amen. And the twenty-four elders fell [on their faces] and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever.:

Chapter 6

6:1  And I saw when the Lamb had opened the first seal, and I heard the first of the four animals, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.

6:2  And I saw and, behold, a white horse; and he that was seated upon him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth victorious, that he might also overcome.

6:3  And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second animal, which said, Come and see.

6:4  And another horse went forth [that was] red, and unto him that was seated thereon was given power to take away the peace of the earth and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword.

6:5  And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third animal, which said, Come and see. And I saw and, behold, a black horse, and he that was seated upon him had a yoke in his hand.

6:6  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four animals, which said, A choenix of wheat for a denarius and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

6:7  And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth animal, which said, Come and see.

6:8  And I looked and, behold, a green horse, and he that was seated upon him was named Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given unto him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and with the beasts of the earth.

6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those that had been slain because [of] the word of God and for the testimony which they held:

6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell in the earth?

6:11  And white robes were given unto each one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little while until their fellow servants and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.

6:12  And I saw when he had opened the sixth seal, and, behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

6:13  and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, even as a fig tree casts her figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

6:14  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

6:15  And the kings of the earth and the princes and the rich and the captains and the strong and every servant and every free [man] hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains

6:16  and said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that is seated upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb;

6:17  for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand before him?:

Chapter 7

7:1  And after these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth that no wind should blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor upon any tree.

7:2  And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God: and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the land and the sea,

7:3  saying, Hurt not the land neither the sea nor the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

7:4  And I heard the number of those that were sealed: [and there were] sealed a hundred [and] forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the sons of Israel.

7:5  Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.

7:6  Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.

7:7  Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.

7:8  Of the tribe of Zepulun [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.

7:9  After this I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and kindreds and peoples and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with long white robes and palms in their hands

7:10  and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation unto him who is seated upon the throne of our God and unto the Lamb.

7:11  And all the angels stood round about the throne and [about] the elders and the four animals; and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshipped God,

7:12  saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

7:13  And one of the elders responded and asked me, Who are these who are arrayed in long white robes? and where did they come from?

7:14  And I said unto him, lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are those who came out of great tribulation and have washed their long robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

7:15  Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that is seated on the throne shall dwell among them.

7:16  They shall hunger no more neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun be thrust upon them nor any other heat.

7:17  For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall govern them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.:

Chapter 8

8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense of the prayers of all the saints, that he should offer upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

8:4  And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

8:5  And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast [it] into the earth; and there were voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake.

8:6  And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound their trumpets.

8:7  The first angel sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the land; and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8:8  And the second angel sounded the trumpet, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea became blood;

8:9  and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

8:10  And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as a lit torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters;

8:11  and the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters because they were made bitter.

8:12  And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten and the third part of the moon and the third part of the stars, in such a manner that the third part of them was darkened, and the third part of the day not did not shine, and the night likewise.

8:13  And I saw and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound [their] trumpets!:

Chapter 9

9:1  And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth; and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

9:2  And he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose smoke out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

9:3  And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

9:4  And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth neither any green thing neither any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads.

9:5  And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should torment them five months; and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man.

9:6  And in those days men shall seek death and shall not find it and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

9:7  And the appearance of the locusts [was] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.

9:8  And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.

9:9  And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

9:10  And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and their power [was] to hurt men five months.

9:11  And they had a king over them, [who is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon [meaning destroyer].

9:12  The first woe is past; [and], behold, there come two more woes after these things.

9:13  And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before [the presence of] God,

9:14  saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.

9:15  And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared unto the hour and day and month and year, to slay the third part of men.

9:16  And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred million: and I heard the number of them.

9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat on them, having breastplates of fire and of jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

9:18  By these three [plagues] was the third part of men killed, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

9:19  For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails [were] like unto serpents that have heads, and with them they do hurt.

9:20  And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons and the images of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk.

9:21  And they did not repent of their murders nor of their witchcraft nor of their fornication nor of their thefts.:

Chapter 10

10:1  And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

10:2  And he had in his hand a little open book, and he set his right foot upon the sea and [his] left [foot] upon the land

10:3  And cried out with a loud voice as [when] a lion roars; and when he had cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

10:4  And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders have spoken and do not write them.

10:5  And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land lifted up his hand to heaven

10:6  and swore by him that lives for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer;

10:7  but in the day of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he did evangelize unto his servants the prophets.

10:8  And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands upon the sea and upon the land.

10:9  And I went unto the angel and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10:10  And I took the little book from the angel's hand and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

10:11  And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again as to many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.:

Chapter 11

11:1  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod, and [he] said unto me, Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those that worship therein.

11:2  But leave out the court which is within the temple and measure it not, for it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.

11:3  And I will give my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

11:4  These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

11:5  And if anyone desires to hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and if anyone desires to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

11:6  These have power to shut the heaven, that it not rain in the days of their prophecy and have power over the waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them.

11:8  And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

11:9  And those of the peoples and kindreds and tongues and Gentiles shall see their dead bodies three days and a half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

11:10  And those that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry and shall send gifts one to another because these two prophets tormented those that dwelt on the earth.

11:11  And after 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 who saw them.

11:12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up here. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

11:13  And in the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain the names of seven thousand men; and the others were frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven.

11:14  The second woe is past; [and], behold, the third woe comes quickly.

11:15  And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet, and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are reduced unto our Lord and to his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

11:16  And the twenty-four elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,

11:17  saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, and art to come because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and hast reigned.

11:18  And the Gentiles were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should give the reward unto thy servants the prophets and to the saints and those that fear thy name, to the small and to the great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.

11:19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and earthquakes and great hail.:

Chapter 12

12:1  And there appeared a great sign in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;

12:2  and she being with child cried out, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

12:3  And there appeared another sign in the heaven; and, behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

12:4  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as it was born.

12:5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all the Gentiles with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God and [to] his throne.

12:6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days.

12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

12:8  and did not prevail; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, the serpent of old, who is called Devil and the Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and virtue and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.

12:11  And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12:12  Therefore, rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.

12:13  And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man [child].

12:14  And to the woman were given two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time and times.

12:15  And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a river after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.

12:16  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had cast out of his mouth.

12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.:

Chapter 13

13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten crowns, and upon its heads the name of blasphemy.

13:2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and its feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.

13:3  And I saw one of its heads as it were wounded to death; and its deadly wound was healed; and all the earth marveled, [and] followed the beast.

13:4  And they worshipped the dragon which had given the authority unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast; saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with it?

13:5  And there was given unto it a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto it to continue forty [and] two months.

13:6  And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those that dwell in heaven.

13:7  And it was given unto it to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and power was given it over all kindreds and tongues and nations.

13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship it, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.

13:9  If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

13:10  He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

13:11  Then I beheld another beast coming up out of the land; and he had two horns like the Lamb, but he spoke as the dragon.

13:12  And he exercised all the power of the first beast in its presence and caused the earth and those that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13:13  And he does great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven to the earth in the sight of men

13:14  and deceives those that dwell on the earth by those signs which were given unto him to do in the presence of the beast, commanding those that dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast, which has the wound by the sword, and did live.

13:15  And it was given unto him to endue the image of the beast with spirit, so that the image of the beast should speak, and he shall cause those that do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

13:16  And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and servants, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads;

13:17  and that no one might buy or sell, unless he has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of its name.

13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for the number of man; and its number [is] six hundred sixty-six.:

Chapter 14

14:1  And I saw and, behold, the Lamb stood upon mount Sion and with him a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, having the name of his Father written in their foreheads.

14:2  And I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters and as the voice of a great thunder; and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps;

14:3  and they sang as it were a new song before the throne and before the four animals and the elders; and no one could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth.

14:4  These are those who are not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These are redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

14:5  And in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without blemish before the throne of God.

14:6  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel that he might evangelize those that dwell on the earth and every nation and kindred and tongue and people,

14:7  saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him that has made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the fountains of waters.

14:8  And another angel followed, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has given all the Gentiles to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives [the] mark in his forehead or in his hand,

14:10  the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb;

14:11  and the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever; and those that worship the beast and its image and whosoever receives the mark of its name, have no rest day or night.

14:12  Here is the patience of the saints; here [are] those that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

14:13  And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead who die in the Lord from now on; Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.

14:14  And I looked, and, behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

14:15  And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that was seated on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle and reap; for the hour is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is dry.

14:16  And he that was seated on the cloud thrust in his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.

14:17  And another angel came out of the temple which is in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

14:18  And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

14:19  And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and cast [it] into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

14:20  And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the bits of the horses, for a thousand six hundred furlongs.:

Chapter 15

15:1  And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the wrath of God.

15:2  And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mingled with fire and those that had gotten the victory over the beast and over its image and over its mark [and] over the number of its name stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

15:3  And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, [thou] King of saints.

15:4  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and magnify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy; therefore, all the Gentiles shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

15:5  And after these things I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven was opened;

15:6  and the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

15:7  And one of the four animals gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.

15:8  And the temple was filled with smoke from the majesty of God and from his power; and no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.:

Chapter 16

16:1  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

16:2  And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth; and an evil and grievous sore fell upon the men who had the mark of the beast and [upon] those who worshipped its image.

16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead [man], and every living soul died in the sea.

16:4  And the third angel poured out his vial into the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

16:5  And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, who art and wast the Holy one because thou hast judged these things;

16:6  for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they deserve [it].

16:7  And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments.

16:8  And the fourth angel poured out his vial against the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire.

16:9  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give him glory.

16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast; and its kingdom was filled with darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

16:11  and blasphemed the God of the heaven because of their pains and their sores and did not repent of their deeds.

16:12  And the sixth angel poured out his vial into the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.

16:13  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

16:14  For they are spirits of demons, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

16:15  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watches and keeps his garments lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16:16  And he gathered them together into the place which in Hebrew is called, Armageddon.

16:17  And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of the heaven from the throne, saying, It is done.

16:18  Then there were voices and thunders and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as [has] never been since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.

16:19  And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the Gentiles fell; and Babylon the great came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

16:21  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.:

Chapter 17

17:1  And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show unto thee the condemnation of the great whore that sits upon many waters,

17:2  with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

17:3  So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman seated upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

17:4  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and of [the] filthiness of her fornication;

17:5  and upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

17:6  And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus; and when I saw her, I marvelled with great surprise.

17:7  And the angel said unto me, Why didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

17:8  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition; and those that dwell on the earth shall wonder (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

17:9  And here [is] the meaning which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

17:10  And [they] are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, [and] the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.

17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, is also the eighth [king], and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.

17:12  And the ten horns which thou hast seen are ten kings, which have not yet taken a kingdom, but shall take authority as kings one hour with the beast.

17:13  These have one mind and shall give their power and authority unto the beast.

17:14  These shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those that are with him [are] called and chosen and faithful.

17:15  And he said unto me, The waters which thou hast seen, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

17:16  And the ten horns which thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

17:17  For God has put in their hearts to fulfil his will and to agree and give their kingdom unto the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

17:18  And the woman which thou hast seen is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.:

Chapter 18

18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

18:3  For all the Gentiles have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the power of her delicacies.

18:4  And I heard another voice from the heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye not be partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

18:5  For her sins have reached unto the heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

18:6  Reward her even as she rewarded you and pay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has given thee to drink, give her double.

18:7  As much as she has glorified herself and lived deliciously, give her that much torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

18:8  Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong [is] the Lord God who judges her.

18:9  And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her and lament for her when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

18:10  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city; for in one hour is thy judgment come!

18:11  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:

18:12  The merchandise of gold and of silver and of precious stones and of pearls and of fine linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet and of all thyine wood and of all manner vessels of ivory and of all manner vessels of most precious wood and of brass and of iron and of marble

18:13  and cinnamon and odours and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and of sheep, and of horses, and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men.

18:14  And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all the fat and excellent things are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

18:15  The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

18:16  and saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

18:17  For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster and all the company in ships and sailors and as many as trade by sea stood afar off

18:18  and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city was] like unto this great city!

18:19  And they cast dust on their heads and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her riches! for in one hour is she made desolate.

18:20  Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your cause upon her.

18:21  And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with impetus shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all.

18:22  And the voice of harpers and musicians and of pipers and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatever craft [he is], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

18:23  and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth in whose witchcraft all the Gentiles have erred.

18:24  And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth.:

Chapter 19

19:1  And after these things I heard a great voice of a great company in the heaven, saying, Halelu-JAH; Salvation and glory and honour and power unto the Lord our God;

19:2  for true and righteous [are] his judgments; for he has judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

19:3  And again they said, Halelu-JAH. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

19:4  And the twenty-four elders and the four animals fell [upon their faces] and worshipped God that was seated upon the throne, saying, Amen! Halelu-JAH!

19:5  And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants and ye that fear him, both small and great.

19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great company and as the voice of many waters and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Halelu-JAH; for the Lord God almighty reigns.

19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his bride has made herself ready.

19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

19:9  And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are those who are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true words of God.

19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant and with thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus; worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

19:11  And I saw the heaven open, and behold a white horse; and he that was seated upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

19:12  And his eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no one has known, but he himself.

19:13  And he [was] clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God.

19:14  And the armies that are in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

19:15  And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the Gentiles; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

19:16  And he has on [his] garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

19:17  And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that flew in the midst of the heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God,

19:18  that ye may eat flesh of kings and flesh of captains, and flesh of mighty men and flesh of horses and of those that sit on them and the flesh of everyone, free and bond, both small and great.

19:19  And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that was seated upon the horse and against his army.

19:20  And the beast was taken and with it the false prophet that wrought miracles in its presence, with which he had deceived those that had taken the mark of the beast and had worshipped its image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

19:21  And the others were slain with the sword that proceeded out of the mouth of him that was seated upon the horse; and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.:

Chapter 20

20:1  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, the serpent of old, which is the Devil and Satan and bound him a thousand years

20:3  and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon it, that he should deceive the Gentiles no more, until the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after it is necessary that he be loosed a little while.

20:4  And I saw thrones, and those who sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and [I saw] the souls of those that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God and who had not worshipped the beast neither its image neither had received [its] mark upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they shall live and reign with Christ the thousand years.

20:5  But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.

20:6  Blessed and holy [is] he that has part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.

20:7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison

20:8  and shall go out to deceive the Gentiles which are upon the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.

20:9  And they went up on the breadth of the earth and compassed the camp of the saints about and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

20:10  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

20:11  And I saw a great white throne and him that was seated upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and their place was not found.

20:12  And I saw the dead, great and small, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened; which is [the book] of life; and the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

20:13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hades delivered up the dead which were in them; and the judgment of each one was according to their works.

20:14  And Hades and death were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.:

Chapter 21

21:1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

21:2  And I, John, saw the holy city, [the] new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven, prepared of God as a bride adorned for her husband.

21:3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them [and be] their God.

21:4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and death shall be no more neither shall there be any more sorrow nor crying nor pain; for the former things are passed away.

21:5  And he that was seated upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are faithful and true.

21:6  And he said unto me, It is done. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.

21:7  He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

21:8  But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

21:9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues and talked with me, saying, Come here, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

21:10  And he carried me away in [the] spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of the heaven from [and] with God,

21:11  having the clarity of God; and her light [was] like unto a most precious stone, even like a jasper stone, shining like crystal.

21:12  And it had a wall great and high, with 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:

21:13  On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

21:14  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

21:15  And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its wall.

21:16  And the city lies foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

21:17  And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

21:18  And the material of its wall was jasper; but the city was of pure gold, like unto clean glass.

21:19  And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

21:20  the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

21:21  And the twelve gates are twelve pearls; in each one, one; each gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as shining glass.

21:22  And I saw no temple in her; for the Lord God Almighty is her temple, and the Lamb.

21:23  And the city had no need of the sun neither of the moon to shine in her, for the clarity of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb [is] its lamp.

21:24  And the Gentiles that have been saved shall walk in the light of her; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into her.

21:25  And her gates shall never be shut by day; for there shall be no night there.

21:26  And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the Gentiles into it.

21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean or that works abomination or [makes] a lie, but [only] those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.:

Chapter 22

22:1  And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

22:2  In the midst of her plaza and on either side of the river [was the] tree of life, which brings forth twelve [manner of] fruits, yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree [are] for the healing of the Gentiles.

22:3  And there shall no longer be any cursed thing; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in her; and his servants shall serve him;

22:4  and they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads.

22:5  And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp neither light of the sun; for the Lord God shall give them light; and they shall reign for ever and ever.

22:6  And he said unto me, These words [are] faithful and true; and the Lord God of the holy prophets has sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which it is necessary that they be done quickly.

22:7  Behold, I come quickly; blessed [is] he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

22:8  And I, John, saw these things and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

22:9  Then he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant and with thy brethren the prophets and with those who keep the words of this book: worship God.

22:10  And he said unto me, do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.

22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be justified still; and let the saint be sanctified still.

22:12  And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to give each one according as his work shall be.

22:13  I AM the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, the first and the last.

22:14  Blessed [are] those who do his commandments that their power [and authority] might be in the tree of life and they may enter in through the gates into the city.

22:15  But outside [are] the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and whosoever loves and makes a lie.

22:16  I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I AM the root and the offspring of David [and] the bright and morning star.

22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come; and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.

22:18  For I testify unto everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If anyone shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book;

22:19  and if anyone shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and [from] the things which are written in this book.

22:20  He who testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

22:21  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
