Revelation of John 1:12-20

12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw aseven golden lampstands, 13and in the midst of the lampstands bone like ca son of man, dclothed with a long robe and ewith a golden sash around his chest. 14 fThe hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. gHis eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 hhis feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and ihis voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 jIn his right hand he held seven stars, kfrom his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and lhis face was like the sun shining min full strength.

17 nWhen I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But ohe laid his right hand on me, psaying, Fear not, qI am the first and the last, 18and the living one. rI died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and sI have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 tWrite therefore uthe things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and vthe seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and wthe seven lampstands are the seven churches.
