11 saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last": And, "What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 and in the midst of the seven candlesticks One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girded about the chest with a golden band.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 and His feet were like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And He had in His right hand seven stars: And out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: And His countenance was as the sun shining in His strength.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. Then He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, "Do not fear; I am the First and the Last:
18 I am He that lives, and was dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: And the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches.
2 1 To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; 'These things says He that holds the seven stars in His right hand, Who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and how you cannot bear those which are evil: And you have examined those which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:
3 And have supported, and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake, and have not fainted.
