Revelation.
Before CHRIST, 0000.
CHAP. 1.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John: $^2$ Who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
$^3$ Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is at hand. $^4$ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; $^5$ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, $^6$ And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. $^7$ Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. $^8$ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
$^9$ I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. $^{10}$ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, $^{11}$ Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. $^{12}$ And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands; $^{13}$ And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band. $^{14}$ His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; $^{15}$ And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. $^{16}$ And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. $^{17}$ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: $^{18}$ I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. ​$^{19}$ Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this; $^{20}$ The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven churches.
CHAP. 2.
To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden lampstands; $^2$ I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear them who are evil: and thou hast tried them who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: $^3$ And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. $^4$ Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. $^5$ Remember therefore from which thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lampstand out of its place, except thou repent. $^6$ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. $^7$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
$^8$ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive; $^9$ I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. $^{10}$ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life. $^{11}$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death.
$^{12}$ And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges; $^{13}$ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is : and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. $^{14}$ But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit acts of immorality. $^{15}$ So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. $^{16}$ Repent; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. $^{17}$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth except he that receiveth it .
$^{18}$ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; $^{19}$ I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. $^{20}$ However I have a few things against thee, because thou allowest that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit acts of immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. $^{21}$ And I gave her time to repent of her immorality; and she repented not. $^{22}$ Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. $^{23}$ And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give to each one of you according to your works. $^{24}$ But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden. $^{25}$ But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. $^{26}$ And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations: $^{27}$ And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. $^{28}$ And I will give him the morning star. $^{29}$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
CHAP. 3.
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, ​and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. $^2$ Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. $^3$ Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. $^4$ Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. $^5$ He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. $^6$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
$^7$ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; $^8$ I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. $^9$ Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. $^{10}$ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. $^{11}$ Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. $^{12}$ Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. $^{13}$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
$^{14}$ And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; $^{15}$ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. $^{16}$ So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. $^{17}$ Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: $^{18}$ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. $^{19}$ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. $^{20}$ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man shall hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. $^{21}$ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father on his throne. $^{22}$ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
CHAP. 4.
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show thee things which must be after this. $^2$ 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 in appearance like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight like an emerald. $^4$ And around the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. $^5$ And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. $^6$ And in front of the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living beings full of eyes before and behind. $^7$ And the first living being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle.
$^8$ And the four living beings had each of them six wings about him ; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. $^9$ And when those living beings give glory and honour and thanks to him that is seated on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, $^{10}$ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, ​and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, $^{11}$ Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
CHAP. 5.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. $^2$ And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals? $^3$ And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look on it. $^4$ And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look on it. $^5$ And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.
$^6$ And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. $^7$ And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. $^8$ And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. $^9$ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; $^{10}$ And hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. $^{11}$ And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living beings and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; $^{12}$ Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. $^{13}$ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. $^{14}$ And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
CHAP. 6.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living beings saying, Come and see. $^2$ And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
$^3$ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living being say, Come and see. $^4$ And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat on him to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given to him a great sword. $^5$ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living being say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. $^6$ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. $^7$ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, Come and see. $^8$ And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
$^9$ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: $^{10}$ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? $^{11}$ And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. $^{12}$ And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; $^{13}$ And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casteth its untimely figs, when it is shaken by a mighty wind. $^{14}$ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and isle were moved out of their places. $^{15}$ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; $^{16}$ And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: $^{17}$ For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
CHAP. 7.
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. $^2$ And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, $^3$ Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. $^4$ And I heard the number of them who were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. $^5$ Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. $^6$ Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. $^7$ Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. $^8$ Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. $^9$ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; $^{10}$ And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. $^{11}$ And all the angels stood around the throne, and about the elders and the four living beings, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, $^{12}$ Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. ​$^{13}$ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these that are arrayed in white robes? and where did they come from? $^{14}$ And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. $^{15}$ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. $^{16}$ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. $^{17}$ For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
CHAP. 8.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. $^2$ And I saw the seven angels who stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. $^3$ And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. $^4$ And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God out of the angel’s hand. $^5$ And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. $^6$ And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
$^7$ The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. $^8$ And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; $^9$ And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. $^{10}$ And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; $^{11}$ And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. $^{12}$ And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. $^{13}$ And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
CHAP. 9.
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. $^2$ And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. $^3$ And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. $^4$ And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads. $^5$ And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. $^6$ And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. $^7$ And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. $^8$ And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. $^9$ And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. $^{10}$ And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. $^{11}$ And they had a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon, but in the Greek language he hath his name Apollyon. $^{12}$ One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more after this. ​$^{13}$ And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, $^{14}$ Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates. $^{15}$ And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men. $^{16}$ And the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. $^{17}$ And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. $^{18}$ By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. $^{19}$ For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. $^{20}$ And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: $^{21}$ Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts.
CHAP. 10.
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: $^2$ And he had in his hand a little scroll open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, $^3$ And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. $^4$ And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. $^5$ And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, $^6$ And swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the things that are in it, and the sea, and the things which are in it, that there should be delay no longer: $^7$ But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
$^8$ And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. $^9$ And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little scroll. And he said to me, Take it, and eat it; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. $^{10}$ And I took the little scroll out of the angel’s hand, and ate it; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. $^{11}$ And he said to me, Thou must prophesy again concerning many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
CHAP. 11.
And there was given me a reed like a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it. $^2$ But the court which is outside the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
$^3$ And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. $^4$ These are the two olive trees, and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. $^5$ And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. $^6$ These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. $^7$ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. $^8$ And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. $^9$ And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not permit their dead bodies to be put in graves. $^{10}$ And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. $^{11}$ And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them who saw them. $^{12}$ And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. $^{13}$ And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were killed of men seven thousand: and the remnant were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
$^{14}$ The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. $^{15}$ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. $^{16}$ And the four and twenty elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, $^{17}$ Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. $^{18}$ And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them who destroy the earth. $^{19}$ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: $^2$ And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. $^3$ And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. $^4$ And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as he was born. $^5$ And she brought forth a son, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. $^6$ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days. $^7$ And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, $^8$ And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. $^9$ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out upon the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. $^{10}$ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night. $^{11}$ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death.
$^{12}$ Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. $^{13}$ And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the son. $^{14}$ And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. $^{15}$ And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. $^{16}$ And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. $^{17}$ And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
CHAP. 13.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. $^2$ And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. $^3$ And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. $^4$ And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? who is able to make war with him? $^5$ And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given to him to continue forty and two months. $^6$ And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. $^7$ And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. $^8$ And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. $^9$ If any man hath an ear, let him hear. $^{10}$ He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
$^{11}$ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. $^{12}$ And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. $^{13}$ And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, $^{14}$ And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and lived. $^{15}$ And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. $^{16}$ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: $^{17}$ And that no man might buy or sell, except him that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. $^{18}$ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
CHAP. 14.
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred and forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. $^2$ And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: $^3$ And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth. $^4$ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. $^5$ And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
$^6$ And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, $^7$ Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. $^8$ And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her immorality. $^9$ And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, $^{10}$ The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: $^{11}$ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receiveth the mark of his name. $^{12}$ Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
$^{13}$ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works follow them. $^{14}$ And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. $^{15}$ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. $^{16}$ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. $^{17}$ And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. $^{18}$ And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. $^{19}$ And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. $^{20}$ And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even to the horses’ bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
CHAP. 15.
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. $^2$ And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. $^3$ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. $^4$ Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are revealed.
$^5$ And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: $^6$ And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden bands. $^7$ And one of the four living beings gave to the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. $^8$ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
CHAP. 16.
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. $^2$ And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a foul and loathsome sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon them who worshipped his image. $^3$ And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man : and every living soul died in the sea. $^4$ And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. $^5$ And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, who art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. $^6$ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. $^7$ And I heard another from the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
$^8$ And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. $^9$ And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. $^{10}$ And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, $^{11}$ And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
$^{12}$ And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. $^{13}$ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. $^{14}$ For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. $^{15}$ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. $^{16}$ And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
$^{17}$ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. $^{18}$ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as hath not been since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. $^{19}$ And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. $^{20}$ And every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found. $^{21}$ And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for its plague was exceeding great.
CHAP. 17.
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come; I will show to thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters: $^2$ With whom the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her immorality. $^3$ So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. $^4$ And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her immorality: $^5$ And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. $^6$ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder.
$^7$ And the angel said to me, Why didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. $^8$ The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. $^9$ And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. $^{10}$ And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short time. $^{11}$ And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. $^{12}$ And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. $^{13}$ These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast.
$^{14}$ These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. $^{15}$ And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. $^{16}$ And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. $^{17}$ For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. $^{18}$ And the woman whom thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
CHAP. 18.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was made bright with his glory. $^2$ And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. $^3$ For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her delicacies. $^4$ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. $^5$ For her sins have reached to heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. $^6$ Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. $^7$ How much she hath glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. $^8$ Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
$^9$ And the kings of the earth, who have committed acts of immorality and lived luxuriously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, $^{10}$ Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. $^{11}$ And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: $^{12}$ The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all kinds of vessels of ivory, and all kinds of vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, $^{13}$ And cinnamon, and incense, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies, and souls of men. $^{14}$ And the fruits that thy soul lusted after have departed from thee, and all things which were luxurious and splendid have departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. $^{15}$ The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, $^{16}$ And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! $^{17}$ For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, $^{18}$ And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like this great city! $^{19}$ And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which were made rich all that had ships in the sea by her wealth! for in one hour is she made desolate. $^{20}$ Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. $^{21}$ And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be no more found. $^{22}$ And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be no more heard in thee; and no craftsman, of whatever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be no more heard in thee; $^{23}$ And the light of a lamp shall shine no more in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. $^{24}$ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
CHAP. 19.
And after these things I heard a great voice of many people in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, to the Lord our God: $^2$ For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. $^3$ And again they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. $^4$ And the four and twenty elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.
$^5$ And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. $^6$ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. $^7$ Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. $^8$ And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. $^9$ And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true sayings of God. $^{10}$ And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
$^{11}$ And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. $^{12}$ His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. $^{13}$ And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. $^{14}$ And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. $^{15}$ And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. $^{16}$ And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. $^{17}$ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God; $^{18}$ That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. $^{19}$ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. $^{20}$ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. $^{21}$ And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceedeth out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
CHAP. 20.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. $^2$ And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, $^3$ And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. $^4$ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. $^5$ But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. $^6$ Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. $^7$ And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be loosed from his prison, $^8$ And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. $^9$ And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. $^{10}$ And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
$^{11}$ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. $^{12}$ And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. $^{13}$ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. $^{14}$ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. $^{15}$ And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
CHAP. 21.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea. $^2$ And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. $^3$ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. $^4$ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away. $^5$ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. $^6$ And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely. $^7$ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. $^8$ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
$^9$ And there came to me one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. $^{10}$ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, $^{11}$ Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; $^{12}$ And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: $^{13}$ On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. $^{14}$ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. $^{15}$ And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. $^{16}$ And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and its height are equal. $^{17}$ And he measured its wall, an hundred and forty four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. $^{18}$ And the building of its wall was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. $^{19}$ And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; $^{20}$ The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. $^{21}$ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. $^{22}$ And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. $^{23}$ And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp. $^{24}$ And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it. $^{25}$ And its gates shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there. $^{26}$ And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. $^{27}$ And there shall by no means enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
CHAP. 22.
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. $^2$ In the midst of its street, and on each side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. $^3$ And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: $^4$ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. $^5$ And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
$^6$ And he said to me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which must shortly be done. $^7$ Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. $^8$ And I John saw these things, and heard them . And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. $^9$ Then saith he to me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of this book: worship God. $^{10}$ And he saith to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. $^{11}$ He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. $^{12}$ And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be. $^{13}$ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. $^{14}$ Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. $^{15}$ For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and immoral persons, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and maketh a lie. $^{16}$ I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. $^{17}$ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely. $^{18}$ For I testify to every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book: $^{19}$ And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
$^{20}$ He who testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. $^{21}$ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
