And every sailing-master and every one who sails to the place, and sailors and all that work on the sea, shall stand afar off, ¹⁸ and looking on the smoke of its burning, cry, saying, What city is like this great city? ¹⁹ And they shall cast dust on their heads, and cry weeping and lamenting, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, by which all were enriched who had ships on the sea on account of her costly merchandise, for in one hour is it made desolate. ²⁰ Rejoice over her, heaven, and you holy angels and apostles and prophets, for God has executed your judgment on her.

^{1 (11:1)} AFTER this I heard a loud voice as of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Halleluia, the salvation and glory and power of our God, ² for true and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the great harlot who destroyed the earth with her fornication, and avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. ³ And again they said, Halleluia, and her smoke ascends forever and ever.

¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, the Is and the Was, that thou didst take thy great power and reign,

¹⁴ for [these] are spirits of demons that perform miracles, that go to the kings of all the world, to assemble them for the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

²² And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, first and last, the beginning and end.

¹⁷ And if children, [we are] also heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

²⁵ but if we hope for what we see not, we wait for it with patience.

⁹ For I think that God has shown us the apostles last, as devoted to death, for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. ¹⁰ For we are foolish for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; and you are glorious, but we are infamous. ¹¹ Even to this hour we suffer hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are beaten, and are unsettled, ¹² and labor, working with our hands; being reviled we bless, being persecuted we endure, ¹³ being defamed we entreat; we are made like the offscouring of the world and the vilest of all things, even till now.

¹⁴ But you did well to communicate with my affliction,

⁴ so that we boast of you in the churches of God, of your patience and faith, in all your persecutions and the afflictions which you endure, ⁵ a token of the righteous judgment of God that you should be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,

⁵ And may the Lord direct your hearts in the love of God, and in the patience of Christ.

^{8 (1:3)} Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but endure affliction with us in the gospel according to the power of God,

³ Endure evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No one who serves as a soldier is involved in the business of life, that he may please him who has employed him as a soldier. ⁵ And if a man contends as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he contends lawfully. ⁶ The husbandman who labors must first partake of the fruits of the earth. ⁷ Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give you understanding in all things. ^{8 (1:6)} Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my gospel, ⁹ in which I suffer even to chains as an evil doer; but the word of God is not bound. ¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the elect, that they may obtain the salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. ¹¹ The saying is true, For if we died together we shall live together; ¹² if we endure patiently we shall reign together; if we deny him he will deny us;

³⁶ For you have need of patience, that having done the will of God you may receive the promise.

^{7 (2:7)} Wait patiently therefore, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and is of long patience, till he receives the autumnal and vernal rain. ⁸ Do you also have long patience, confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

² who declared the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ which he saw.

⁹ I know your affliction and poverty, but you are rich, and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Fear not what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have affliction ten days. Be faithful till death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which is to come on all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

^{7 (6:5)} And when they shall finish their testimony, the beast which ascends from the abyss shall make war with them, and conquer them, and kill them.

¹⁰ If any one [leads] into captivity, he shall go into captivity; if any one kills with the sword, he shall be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; I am your fellow-servant and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁴³ He said to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

^{19 (22:3)} Then when it was evening, on that first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you.

²⁶ And after eight days his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you.

¹⁰ And he was hungry and wished to eat; and while they were preparing a trance came upon him, ¹¹ and he beheld heaven opened, and a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, let down by four corners to the earth, ¹² in which were all the quadrupeds and reptiles of the earth, and birds of heaven. ¹³ And a voice came to him, Arise, Peter, kill and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten any thing common and impure. ¹⁵ And a voice came to him again, a second time, What God has purified, regard not common. ¹⁶ And this was done thrice, and immediately the vessel was taken up to heaven. ^{17 (8:3)} And while Peter doubted with himself what the vision which he had seen meant, behold, even [then] the men sent by Cornelius, having inquired for the house of Simon, stood at the gate, ¹⁸ and calling aloud asked if Simon who was called Peter lodged there. ¹⁹ And while Peter was considering of the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek you; ²⁰ arise and go down and go with them without hesitation, for I have sent them. ²¹ And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause for which you have come? ²² And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man, and one that fears God, and esteemed by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house and hear words from you. ²³ Then he called them in and entertained them. ^(8:4) And the next day he arose and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him. ²⁴ And on the day following they came to Caesarea; and Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his relations and particular friends. ²⁵ And when Peter came in Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet worshipped him. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up saying, Arise, I also am a man. ²⁷ And conversing with him he went in, and found many come together; ²⁸ and he said to them, You know that it is not lawful for a Jew to associate with a man of another nation, or come into his house; and God has taught me not to call any man common or impure; ²⁹ wherefore, being sent for I also came without objecting. I ask therefore for what reason you have sent for me? ³⁰ And Cornelius said, From the fourth hour of the day I fasted till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in splendid clothing, ³¹ and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard and your charities are remembered before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon who is called Peter; he lodges at the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who when he has come will speak to you. ³³ Immediately therefore I sent to you, and you have done well to come. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things which God has commanded you.

^{7 (18:2)} And on the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul preached to them, being about to depart on the next day, and continued his discourse till midnight;

² On the first day of the week let each one of you lay aside by himself in store as God has prospered him, that there may be no collections made when I come.

² I know a man, in Christ above fourteen years, whether in the body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows,—such a one caught up to the third heaven. ³ I know even such a man,—whether in the body or out of the body I know not, God knows,— ⁴ that he was caught up to paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is not lawful for man to speak.

^{1 (3:1)} AFTER this I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard was of a trumpet speaking to me, saying, Come up hither, and I will show you things that must occur hereafter. ² And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

³ and cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. And when he cried, seven thunders spoke their words. ⁴ And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Seal up what the seven thunders spoke, and write it not. ^{5 (6:2)} And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted up his right hand to heaven, ⁶ and swore by him that lives forever and ever, that created heaven and the things in it and the earth and the things in it and the sea and the things in it, that time should be no longer, ⁷ but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God shall be finished, as he told his servants the prophets. ^{8 (6:3)} And the voice which I heard from heaven [I heard] again speak to me and say, Go and take the little opened book in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.

^{3 (10:2)} And he bore me away into the wilderness in the Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, [the beast] full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

¹⁰ And he bore me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

¹⁹ And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there, and entering himself into the synagogue reasoned with the Jews. ²⁰ And they asking him to stay a longer time with them he did not consent, ²¹ but taking leave of them and saying, I will return to you again, if God will, he sailed from, Ephesus,

^{24 (17:1)} AND a certain Jew by the name of Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, being powerful in the Scriptures.

^{1 (17:2)} And when Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, passing through the higher portions of the country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples; ² and he said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said to him, We have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit. ³ And he said to them, With what then were you baptized? And they said, With John's baptism. ⁴ Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus. ⁵ And hearing this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus: ⁶ and Paul putting his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. ⁷ And all the men were about twelve. ^{8 (17:3)} And going into the synagogue he spoke boldly, for three months, reasoning and persuading in favor of the kingdom of God. ⁹ But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples from them, and reasoned day by day in the school of one Tyrannus. ¹⁰ And this was done for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. ^{11 (17:4)} And God performed unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, ¹² so that napkins and aprons were brought from him to the sick, and their diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them. ¹³ And some of the travelling Jewish exorcists undertook to call over those that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches. ¹⁴ And there were some seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. ¹⁵ But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you? ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped upon them, and overcome them, and prevailed against them, so that they escaped from his house, naked and wounded. ¹⁷ And this was known both to all the Jews and Greeks who lived at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified; ¹⁸ and many of those who believed came and confessed, and showed their practices. ¹⁹ And many of those who practised secret arts brought their books, and burnt them before all; and they computed the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand [didrachmas] of silver [$8,333]. ²⁰ So the word of the Lord increased powerfully and prevailed. ^{21 (17:6)} And when these things were accomplished, Paul was disposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome. ²² And sending two that served him into Macedonia, Timothy and Erastus, he continued a time in Asia. ^{23 (17:7)} And there was at that time no small tumult about the way [of the Lord]. ²⁴ For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, who made silver temples of Diana, and afforded his artisans no small gain, ²⁵ assembling them together and laborers of like employments, said, Men, you know that our prosperity is derived from this employment, ²⁶ and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but in almost all Asia, this Paul has led away a great multitude by persuasion, saying that things which are made by hands are not gods. ²⁷ And not only this work of ours is in danger of coming into contempt, but even the temple of the great goddess Diana of being set at nought, and her majesty also which all Asia and the world worships, of being destroyed. ^{28 (17:8)} And hearing this they were full of wrath, and cried, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians! ²⁹ And the whole city was full of confusion; and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, taking Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travellers of Paul. ³⁰ And Paul wishing to go in to the people, the disciples did not permit him; ³¹ and some of the rulers of Asia also, who were friendly to him, sending to him, besought him not to expose himself in the theatre. ³² Some therefore cried one thing, and some another; for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what reason they had come together. ³³ And they advanced Alexander from the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander motioning with his hand, wished to defend himself before the people. ³⁴ But knowing that he was a Jew, there was one voice from all, for about two hours, crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. ^{35 (17:9)} And the clerk having stilled the multitude, said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of the Jove descended [image]? ³⁶ These things therefore being indisputable, it is best to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. ³⁷ For you have brought these men here, who are neither temple-robbers nor blasphemers of your goddess. ³⁸ If, therefore, Demetrius and the artisans with him have a charge against any, court days are held, and there are pro-consuls; let them accuse one another. ³⁹ And if you desire any thing of other matters, let it be determined in a lawful assembly. ⁴⁰ For we are in danger of being called to account for the tumult of to-day, there being no cause by which we can excuse this concourse. ⁴¹ And having said these words he dismissed the assembly.

^{17 (18:4)} And from Miletus sending to Ephesus he called for the elders of the church.

³² If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

⁸ But I will remain at Ephesus till Pentecost,

^{1 (1:1)} PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints in [Ephesus] and the faithful in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Salute the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly at his house. ¹⁶ And when this letter has been read with you, cause that it be also read by the church of the Laodiceans; and do you also read that from Laodicea.

^{3 (1:2)} As I requested you to remain at Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you might charge some not to preach another doctrine,

¹⁹ Write therefore the things which you saw, and which are, and which are about to appear hereafter,

⁴ And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Seal up what the seven thunders spoke, and write it not.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yes, says the Spirit, they shall rest from their labors; and their works follow after them.

^{9 (11:2)} And he said to me, Write, Blessed are those who are called to the wedding supper of the Lamb. And he told me, These are the true words of God.

^{5 (12:3)} And he that sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write that these words are faithful and true.

¹³ and in the midst of the candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed with a robe extending down to his feet, girded about the breasts with a golden girdle;

⁷ but he abased himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man, ⁸ and being found in form like a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient even till death, and the death of the cross.

¹⁴ Since then the children have partaken of blood and flesh, he in like manner also partook of them, that through death he might destroy him that has the power of death, that is the devil, ¹⁵ and liberate those who all their life were subjects of servitude to the fear of death. ¹⁶ For indeed he helped not angels, but he helped the descendants of Abraham. ¹⁷ Whence he ought in all things to be assimilated to the brothers, that he may be a merciful and faithful chief priest as to things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we have not a chief priest who cannot sympathise with our infirmities, but one tried in all respects as we are, without sin.

^{14 (8:5)} And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold and in his hand a sharp sickle.

⁶ and the seven angels went out who have the last seven plagues, clothed with pure bright linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles.

³ And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow;

¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; he has a name written that no man knows except himself,

² And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like harpers playing on their harps.

⁶ And I heard them as the voice of a great multitude, and as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Halleluia, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

² And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments were white as the light.

¹³ at midday I saw in the way O king, a light from heaven shining around me and those going with me, exceeding the brightness of the sun;

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

¹² For the word of God is living, and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and reaching even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and distinguishes thoughts and intentions of mind;

¹⁶ Change your minds therefore; otherwise I will come to you quickly, and fight with them with the sword of my mouth.

^{1 (6:1)} AND I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and an iris was about his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire,

^{1 (7:3)} And a great symbol appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,

²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword of him that sits on the horse, which proceeded out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

² And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments were white as the light. ³ And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elijah conversing with him. ⁴ And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you please, we will make here three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. ⁵ While he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; hear him. ⁶ And when they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid. ⁷ And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

⁴ and from fear of him the keepers shook and became like dead men.

^{5 (16:9)} And coming to the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe; and they were astonished. ⁶ And he said to them, Be not astonished; you seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is raised; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.

³⁷ and they being terrified and afraid, thought they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do doubts arise in your minds? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that I am he; feel of me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have.

²³ One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining on the bosom of Jesus.

^{20 (22:8)} And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said, Lord, who is it that is to betray you?

¹⁹ And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you unbind on the earth shall be unbound in heaven.

¹⁹ Yet a little while and the world beholds me no more; but you shall behold me; because I live, you shall live also.

⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer a lordship over him.

⁸ for if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For this end Christ died and lived again, that he might exercise lordship over the dead and living.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us, judging this, that if one died for all then were all dead; ¹⁵ and he died for all, that those who live should no more live for themselves but for him that died for them and rose again.

⁴ for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God; and we also are weak in him, but live with him by the power of God in you.

³ For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God;

³ who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, having made a purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

¹⁶ who was not a priest after the law of an external commandment, but after the power of imperishable life.

²⁵ whence also he is able to save forever those who come to God through him, always living to intercede for them.

² looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God.

⁹ And when the cherubs gave glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne who lives forever and ever,

¹⁴ And the four cherubs said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped:

^{1 (5:6)} And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth, and there was given him the key of the pit of the abyss.

^{1 (11:5)} And I saw an angel descending from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. ² And he took the dragon, which is the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

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

¹¹ saying, What you see write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

^{1 (3:1)} AFTER this I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard was of a trumpet speaking to me, saying, Come up hither, and I will show you things that must occur hereafter. ² And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. ³ And he that sat was like a jasper and sardine stone, and there was an iris about the throne, similar in appearance to an emerald. ⁴ And about the throne were twenty-four thrones; and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting clothed in white robes, and having crowns of gold on their heads. ^{5 (3:2)} And there proceeded from the throne lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God, ⁶ and before the throne was as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and about the throne were four living ones [cherubs] full of eyes before and behind. ⁷ And the first cherub was like a lion, and the second cherub like a bullock, and the third cherub had the face of a man, and the fourth cherub was like a flying eagle. ^{8 (3:3)} And the four cherubs had each six wings apiece. And they were full of eyes around and within, and they had no rest day nor night, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty the Was and the Is and the Is to come. ⁹ And when the cherubs gave glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne who lives forever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces before him that sat on the throne, and worshipped him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before his throne, saying, ¹¹ Thou art worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou hast created all things, and on account of thy will they are and were created.

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city situated on a mountain cannot be hid. ¹⁵ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick, and it shines to all in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your father in heaven.

¹¹ And he answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given;

¹⁰ And he said, It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹⁵ that you may be blameless and sincere, children of God without blame in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ holding fast the word of life, for my glorying in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor labor in vain.

^{14 (2:3)} These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly; ¹⁵ but if I delay, that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. ¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of piety; [Christ,] who was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen by angels, was preached to the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up into glory.

^{12 (1:5)} And I turned to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned around I saw seven golden candlesticks, ¹³ and in the midst of the candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed with a robe extending down to his feet, girded about the breasts with a golden girdle;

¹⁶ and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, and his face shone like the sun in his strength.

^{1 (2:1)} To the angel of the church in 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,
