11 That which thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 And I turned myself to look at the voice that talked with me; and when I had turned, I saw seven candlesticks of gold;
13 and, in the midst of the candlesticks, one like the Son of man, clothed to the feet, and girded about his paps with a girdle of gold.
14 And his head and his hair were white, like white wool, like snow; and his eyes, like a flame of fire:
15 and his feet were like fine brass, flaming in a furnace: and his voice, like the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth issued a sharp twoedged sword; and his visage was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;
18 and who liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys of death and of the unseen world.
19 Therefore, write what thou hast seen, and the things that are; and the things that are to be hereafter:
20 the mystery of these seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven candlesticks of gold. Those seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
2 1 To the angel of the church which is at Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth all things, and the seven stars, in his right hand; he that walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold;
2 I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy patience, and that thou canst not endure the wicked; and thou hast tried them who say they are legates, and are not; and thou hast found them liars.
3 And thou hast had patience, and hast borne the burden, on account of my name, and hast not fainted.
