Revelation of John 1:12-20

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw ^wseven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands ^xone like ^ya son of man, ^zclothed with a long robe and ^aawith a golden sash around his chest. 14 ^abThe hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. ^acHis eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 ^adhis feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and ^aehis voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 ^afIn his right hand he held seven stars, ^agfrom his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and ^ahhis face was like the sun shining ^aiin full strength.

17 ^ajWhen I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But ^akhe laid his right hand on me, ^alsaying, “Fear not, ^amI am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. ^anI died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and ^aoI have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 ^apWrite therefore ^aqthe things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and ^arthe seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and ^asthe seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Revelation of John 2:1-5

To the Church in Ephesus

1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of ^athim who holds the seven stars in his right hand, ^auwho walks among the seven golden lampstands.

2 ^av“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but ^awhave tested those ^axwho call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up ^ayfor my name’s sake, and you ^azhave not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned ^bathe love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do ^bbthe works you did at first. If not, ^bcI will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
