10 On the Lord's day I was in the Spirit's power, and I heard a voice like a trumpet behind me say:
11 "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."
12 I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me, and as I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and among the lampstands One resembling the Son of Man, wearing a robe that reached to His feet, and with a belt of gold around His breast.
14 His head and hair were as white as white wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like coals of fire;
15 His feet were like bronze refined to white heat in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 In His right hand He was holding seven stars, and a sharp, double-edged sword was coming out of His mouth, and His face was shining like the sun at midday.
17 So when I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He laid His right hand upon me and said: "Do not be afraid any more. I am the First and the Last;
18 yea, the ever-living One. I once was dead, but now I live forever and ever. I carry the keys of death and the underworld.
19 So write what you have seen, what is and what is to take place hereafter.
20 The open secret of the seven stars that you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lampstands, is this: The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
