2 but do not measure ^athe court outside the temple; leave that out, for ^bit is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for ^cforty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for ^d1,260 days, ^eclothed in sackcloth.”

4 These are ^fthe two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, ^gfire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, ^hthis is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power ⁱto shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and ^jto strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, ^kthe beast that rises from ^lthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Or the abyss} ⁿwill make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically ^{▼▼Greek spiritually} is called ^pSodom and ^qEgypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and ^rrefuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and ^sthose who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and ^texchange presents, because these two prophets ^uhad been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days ^va breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, ^w“Come up here!” And ^xthey went up to heaven ^yin a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was ^za great earthquake, and ^aaa tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and ^abgave glory to ^acthe God of heaven.

14 ^adThe second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
