The Revelation

  of St. John the Divine

 

1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to

show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;

and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of

Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

1:3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words

of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written

therein: for the time is at hand.

1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be

unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and

which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before

his throne;

1:5 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. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins

in his own blood,

1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;

to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,

and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the

earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith

the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the

Almighty.

1:9 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.

1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me

a great voice, as of a trumpet,

1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and,

What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven

churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and

unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto

Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being

turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto

the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and

girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white

as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a

furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his

mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as

the sun shineth in his strength.

1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid

his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the

first and the last:

1:18 I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am

alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of

death.

1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which

are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou saw in my

right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars

are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven

candlesticks which thou saw are the seven churches.

2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things

said he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who

walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

2:2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how

thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried

them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found

them liars:

2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake

hast labored, and hast not fainted.

2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou

hast left thy first love.

2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent,

and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly,

and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou

repent.

2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hates the deeds of the

Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto

the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the

tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These

things says the first and the last, which was dead, and is

alive;

2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, but thou

art rich, and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are

Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shall 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

unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the

second death.

2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These

things says he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where

Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not

denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my

faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast

there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac

to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat

things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the

Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will

fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

unto the churches; To him that over cometh will I give to eat of

the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the

stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that

receiveth it.

2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These

things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a

flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

2:19 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.

2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because

thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a

prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit

fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she

repented not.

2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit

adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of

their deeds.

2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the

churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and

hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your

works.

2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many

as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths

of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

2:26 And he that over cometh, and keepeth my works unto the end,

to him will I give power over the nations:

2:27 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.

2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

unto the churches.

3:1 And unto 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.

3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that

are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before

God.

3:3 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.

3:4 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.

3:5 He that over cometh, 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.

3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

the churches.

3:7 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;

3:8 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.

3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which

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.

3:10 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.

3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,

that no man take thy crown.

3:12 Him that over cometh will I make a pillar in the temple of

my God, and he shall go no more out: 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.

3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

unto the churches.

3:14 And unto 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;

3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I

would thou wert cold or hot.

3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor

hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

3:17 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:

3:18 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 do not appear;

and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous

therefore, and repent.

3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my

voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup

with him, and he with me.

3:21 To him that over cometh will I grant to sit with me in my

throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father

in his throne.

3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

unto the churches.

4:1 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 hither, and I will

shew thee things which must be hereafter.

4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne

was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine

stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in

sight like unto an emerald.

4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and

upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in

white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

4:5 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.

4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto

crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the

throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast

like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the

fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

4:8 And the four beasts 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, which was,

and is, and is to come.

4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to

him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

4:10 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,

4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and

power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure

they are and were created.

5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a

book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven

seals.

5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who

is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,

was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and

to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the

Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to

open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the

four beasts, 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.

5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him

that sat upon the throne.

5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts 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.

5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take

the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain,

and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred,

and tongue, and people, and nation;

5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we

shall reign on the earth.

5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round

about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number

of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of

thousands;

5:12 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.

5:13 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, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory,

and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto

the Lamb for ever and ever.

5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty

elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and

ever.

6:1 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 beasts

saying, Come and see.

6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him

had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth

conquering, and to conquer.

6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second

beast say, Come and see.

6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power

was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,

and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto

him a great sword.

6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third

beast 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.

6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts 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.

6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of

the fourth beast say, Come and see.

6:8 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 unto 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.

6:9 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:

6:10 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?

6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it

was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little

season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren,

that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

6:12 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;

6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig

tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty

wind.

6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled

together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their

places.

6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich

men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every

bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in

the rocks of the mountains;

6:16 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:

6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be

able to stand?

7:1 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.

7:2 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,

7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,

till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there

were] sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all

the tribes of the children of Israel.

7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the

tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of

Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the

tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe

of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7:7 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.

7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of

the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe

of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

7:9 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;

7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God

which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and

about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the

throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and

thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our

God for ever and ever. Amen.

7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are

these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,

These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have

washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the

Lamb.

7:15 Therefore are they 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.

7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither

shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed

them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and

God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence

in heaven about the space of half an hour.

8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to

them were given seven trumpets.

8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a

golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that

he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the

golden altar which was before the throne.

8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers

of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of

the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices,

and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared

themselves to sound.

8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire

mingled 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.

8:8 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;

8:9 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.

8:10 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;

8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third

part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the

waters, because they were made bitter.

8:12 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 as the third part of them was darkened, and

the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night

likewise.

8:13 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!

9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from

heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the

bottomless pit.

9:2 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.

9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and

unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have

power.

9:4 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 which have not the seal of God in their

foreheads.

9:5 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.

9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find

it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses

prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were

crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were

as the teeth of lions.

9:9 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.

9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were

stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five

months.

9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the

bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,

but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more

hereafter.

9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the

four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the

four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an

hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third

part of men.

9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two

hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

9:17 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.

9:18 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.

9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for

their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with

them they do hurt.

9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these

plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they

should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and

brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear,

nor walk:

9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their

sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

10:1 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:

10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his

right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and

when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was

about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,

Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and

write them not.

10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the

earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created

heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the

things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are

therein, that there should be time no longer:

10:7 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.

10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me

again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in

the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the

earth.

10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the

little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and

it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth

sweet as honey.

10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and

ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon

as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many

peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the

angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and

the altar, and them that worship therein.

11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and

measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy

city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they

shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,

clothed in sackcloth.

11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks

standing before the God of the earth.

11:5 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.

11:6 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.

11:7 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.

11:8 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.

11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations

shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall

not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

11:10 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.

11:11 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 which saw them.

11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,

Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and

their enemies beheld them.

11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the

tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain

of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and

gave glory to the God of heaven.

11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe

cometh quickly.

11:15 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.

11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on

their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which

art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee

thy great power, and hast reigned.

11:18 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 unto thy servants the prophets, and to

the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and

shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was

seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were

lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and

great hail.

12:1 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:

12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and

pained to be delivered.

12:3 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.

12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,

and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the

woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child

as soon as it was born.

12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all

nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto

God, and [to] his throne.

12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a

place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a

thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.

12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought

against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more

in heaven.

12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called

the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was

cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

12:10 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, which accused them before our God day and night.

12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the

word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto

the death.

12:12 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 unto you, having great wrath, because he

knoweth that he hath but a short time.

12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,

he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

12:14 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.

12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood

after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of

the flood.

12:16 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.

12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make

war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments

of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise

up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon

his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto 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 seat, and

great authority.

13:3 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.

13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the

beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like

unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things

and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty

and two months.

13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to

blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in

heaven.

13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and

to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,

and tongues, and nations.

13:8 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.

13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

13:10 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.

13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and

he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before

him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to

worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come

down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

13:14 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

did live.

13:15 And he had power to give life unto 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.

13:16 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:

13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the

mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

13:18 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 threescore [and] six.

14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and

with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his

Father's name written in their foreheads.

14:2 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:

14:3 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,

which were redeemed from the earth.

14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they

are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever

he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the

first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.

14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without

fault before the throne of God.

14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having

the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the

earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and

people,

14:7 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.

14:8 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 fornication.

14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud

voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive

[his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

14:10 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:

14:11 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 whosoever receiveth the mark of his

name.

14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that

keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,

Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:

Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours;

and their works do follow them.

14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud

[one] sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden

crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

14:15 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.

14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the

earth; and the earth was reaped.

14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in

heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which 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.

14:19 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.

14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood

came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the

space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous,

seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is

filled up the wrath of God.

15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and

them that had gotten 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.

15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the

song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works,

Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of

saints.

15:4 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 made manifest.

15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the

tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

15:6 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 girdles.

15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven

golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and

ever.

15:8 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.

16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the

seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath

of God upon the earth.

16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;

and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which

had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his

image.

16:3 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.

16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and

fountains of waters; and they became blood.

16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art

righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because

thou hast judged thus.

16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and

thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God

Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and

power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the

name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they

repented not to give him glory.

16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of

the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they

gnawed their tongues for pain,

16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains

and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great

river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the

way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

16:13 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.

16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,

which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole

world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God

Almighty.

16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth,

and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his

shame.

16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the

Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

16:17 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.

16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and

there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were

upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

16:19 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 unto her the cup of the wine of

the fierceness of his wrath.

16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not

found.

16:21 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 the plague thereof was

exceeding great.

17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven

vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will

shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth

upon many waters:

17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed

fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made

drunk with the wine of her fornication.

17:3 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.

17:4 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 fornication:

17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY,

BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF

THE EARTH.

17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,

and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her,

I wondered with great admiration.

17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I

will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that

carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

17:8 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.

17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads

are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

17:10 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 space.

17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,

and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which

have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one

hour with the beast.

17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and

strength unto the beast.

17:14 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.

17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where

the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,

and tongues.

17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these

shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,

and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and

to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the

words of God shall be fulfilled.

17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which

reigneth over the kings of the earth.

18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from

heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with

his glory.

18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon

the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of

devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every

unclean and hateful bird.

18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her

fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed

fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed

rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

18:4 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.

18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath

remembered her iniquities.

18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her

double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled

fill to her double.

18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,

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.

18:8 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.

18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication

and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament

for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

18:10 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.

18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over

her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

18:12 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 manner vessels of ivory,

and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and

iron, and marble,

18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense,

and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and

sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed

from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are

departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by

her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping

and wailing,

18:16 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!

18:17 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,

18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,

What city is like unto this great city!

18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and

wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made

rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!

for in one hour is she made desolate.

18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles

and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

18:21 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 found no

more at all.

18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers,

and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no

craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more

in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at

all in thee;

18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in

thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be

heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great

men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations

deceived.

18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,

and of all that were slain upon the earth.

19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people

in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour,

and power, unto the Lord our God:

19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath

judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her

fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her

hand.

19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for

ever and ever.

19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell

down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;

Alleluia.

19:5 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.

19:6 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, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent

reigneth.

19:7 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.

19:8 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.

19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are

called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto

me, These are the true sayings of God.

19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto

me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy

brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the

testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

19:11 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.

19:12 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.

19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and

his name is called The Word of God.

19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon

white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

19:15 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.

19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name

written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

19:17 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 unto the supper of

the great God;

19:18 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.

19:19 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.

19:20 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.

19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat

upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and

all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of

the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is

the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

20:3 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.

20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was

given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were

beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and

which 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.

20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand

years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

20:6 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.

20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be

loosed out of his prison,

20:8 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.

20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed

the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire

came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

20:10 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.

20:11 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.

20:12 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 those

things which were written in the books, according to their

works.

20:13 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.

20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This

is the second death.

20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life

was cast into the lake of fire.

21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first

heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no

more sea.

21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down

from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her

husband.

21:3 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.

21:4 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 are

passed away.

21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all

things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are

true and faithful.

21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the

beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of

the fountain of the water of life freely.

21:7 He that over cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be

his God, and he shall be my son.

21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and

murderers, and whoremongers, 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.

21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had

the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with

me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's

wife.

21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high

mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,

descending out of heaven from God,

21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a

stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as

crystal;

21:12 And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and

at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which

are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the

south three gates; and on the west three gates.

21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in

them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure

the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

21:16 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 the height of

it are equal.

21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty

and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that

is, of the angel.

21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and

the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

21:19 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;

21:20 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.

21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several

gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure

gold, as it were transparent glass.

21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and

the Lamb are the temple of it.

21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,

to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the

Lamb [is] the light thereof.

21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the

light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory

and honour into it.

21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for

there shall be no night there.

21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations

into it.

21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that

defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh

a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as

crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the

river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner

of] fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves

of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

22:3 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:

22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in

their foreheads.

22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle,

neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:

and they shall reign for ever and ever.

22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true:

and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew

unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is

 he that keepeth the

sayings of the prophecy of this book.

22:8 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 which shewed me these things.

22:9 Then saith he unto me, See [hou do it not: for I am thy

fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them

which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy

of this book: for the time is at hand.

22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which

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.

22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,

to give every man according as his work shall be.

22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first

and the last.

22:14 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.

22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,

and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a

lie.

22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these

things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of

David, and the bright and morning star.

22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that

heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And

whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the

prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,

God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this

book:

22:19 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.

22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come

quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Amen.
