1:1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew
 to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified
 [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,
1:2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus
 Christ, all things that he saw.
1:3 Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of
 the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time
 [is] near.
1:4 John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to
 you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to
 come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne;
1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn
 from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him
 who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
1:6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him
 [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen.
1:7 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see
 him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the
 land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.
1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who
 is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
1:9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation
 and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called
 Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
1:10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard
 behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
1:11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the
 seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos,
 and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to
 Laodicea.
1:12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and
 having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
1:13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son
 of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt
 about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
1:14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his
 eyes as a flame of fire;
1:15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and
 his voice as the voice of many waters;
1:16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his
 mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance
 as the sun shines in its power.
1:17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid
 his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and
 the last,
1:18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am
 living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of
 hades.
1:19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that
 are, and the things that are about to be after these.
1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my
 right hand, and the seven golden lamps. -- The seven stars are
 angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven
 assemblies.
2:1 To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things
 says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks
 in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
2:2 I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and
 that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them
 who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast
 found them liars;
2:3 and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast
 not wearied:
2:4 but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
2:5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and
 do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will
 remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the
 Nicolaitanes, which *I* also hate.
2:7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
 assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of
 the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
2:8 And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These
 things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
2:9 I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich;
 and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews,
 and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
2:10 Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold,
 the devil is about to cast 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 to thee the crown of life.
2:11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to
 the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured
 of the second death.
2:12 And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These
 things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
2:13 I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is];
 and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith,
 even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was],
 who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
2:14 But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there
 those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast
 a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices
 and commit fornication.
2:15 So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of
 Nicolaitanes in like manner.
2:16 Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I
 will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to
 the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of
 the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on
 the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that
 receives [it].
2:18 And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These
 things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of
 fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass:
2:19 I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and
 thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the
 first.
2:20 But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman
 Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and
 leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol
 sacrifices.
2:21 And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will
 not repent of her fornication.
2:22 Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit
 adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of
 her works,
2:23 and her children will I kill with death; and all the
 assemblies shall know that *I* am he that searches [the] reins
 and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your
 works.
2:24 But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many
 as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of
 Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
2:25 but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
2:26 And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my
 works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
2:27 and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of
 pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from
 my Father;
2:28 and I will give to him the morning star.
2:29 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to
 the assemblies.
3:1 And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These
 things saith he that has 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 that remain, which
 are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete
 before my God.
3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
 keep [it] and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will
 come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what
 hour I shall come upon thee.
3:4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled
 their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because
 they are worthy.
3:5 He that overcomes, *he* shall be clothed in white garments,
 and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will
 confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
3:6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
 assemblies.
3:7 And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write:
 These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of
 David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one
 shall open:
3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an opened
 door, which no one can shut, because thou hast a little power,
 and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
3:9 Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that
 they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that
 they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall
 know that *I* have loved thee.
3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, *I* also
 will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come
 upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the
 earth.
3:11 I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take
 thy crown.
3:12 He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple
 of my God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write
 upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my
 God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my
 God, and my new name.
3:13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to
 the assemblies.
3:14 And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These
 things says 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 Thus because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
 am about to spue thee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have
 need of nothing, and knowest not that *thou* art the wretched
 and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that
 thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be
 clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made
 manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest
 see.
3:19 I rebuke and discipline as many as I love; be zealous
 therefore and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one
 hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and
 sup with him, and he with me.
3:21 He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my
 throne; as *I* also have overcome, and have sat down with my
 Father in his throne.
3:22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to
 the assemblies.
4:1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in
 heaven, and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet
 speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will shew thee
 the things which must take place after these things.
4:2 Immediately I became in [the] Spirit; and behold, a throne
 stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting,
4:3 and he [that was] sitting like in appearance to a stone [of]
 jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in
 appearance to an emerald.
4:4 And round the throne twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones
 twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white garments; and on
 their heads golden crowns.
4:5 And out of the throne go forth lightnings, and voices, and
 thunders; and seven lamps of fire, burning before the throne,
 which are the seven Spirits of God;
4:6 and before the throne, as a glass sea, like crystal. And in
 the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living
 creatures, full of eyes, before and behind;
4:7 and the first living creature like a lion, and the second
 living creature like a calf, and the third living creature
 having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature
 like a flying eagle.
4:8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having
 respectively six wings; round and within they are full of eyes;
 and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord
 God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
4:9 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour
 and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne, who lives to
 the ages of ages,
4:10 the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon
 the throne, and do homage to him that lives to the ages of
 ages; and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
4:11 Thou art worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory
 and honour and power; for *thou* hast created all things, and
 for thy will they were, and they have been created.
5:1 And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne
 a book, written within and on the back, 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 break its seals?
5:3 And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or
 underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.
5:4 And *I* wept much because no one had been found worthy to
 open the book nor to regard it.
5:5 And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the
 lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has
 overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals.
5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living
 creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as
 slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
 Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth:
5:7 and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that
 sat upon the throne.
5:8 And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the
 twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and
 golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the
 saints.
5:9 And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take
 the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain,
 and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and
 tongue, and people, and nation,
5:10 and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall
 reign over the earth.
5:11 And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around
 the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their
 number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of
 thousands;
5:12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been
 slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,
 and honour, and glory, and blessing.
5:13 And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the
 earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea,
 and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon
 the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory,
 and might, to the ages of ages.
5:14 And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders
 fell down and did homage.
6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I
 heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of
 thunder, Come [and see].
6:2 And I saw: and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon
 it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went
 forth conquering and that he might conquer.
6:3 And when it opened the second seal, I heard the second
 living creature saying, Come [and see].
6:4 And another, a red horse, went forth; and to him that sat
 upon it, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, and
 that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a
 great sword.
6:5 And when it opened the third seal, I heard the third living
 creature saying, Come [and see]. And I saw: and behold, a black
 horse, and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand.
6:6 And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living
 creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three
 choenixes of barley for a denarius: and do not injure the oil
 and the wine.
6:7 And when it opened the fourth seal, I heard [the voice of]
 the fourth living creature saying, Come [and see].
6:8 And I saw: and behold, a pale horse, and he that sat upon
 it, his name [was] Death, and hades followed with him; and
 authority was given to him over the fourth of the earth to slay
 with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts
 of the earth.
6:9 And when it opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the
 altar the souls of them that had been 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
 sovereign Ruler, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge
 our blood on them that dwell upon the earth?
6:11 And there was given to them, to each one a white robe; and
 it was said to them that they should rest yet a little while,
 until both their fellow-bondmen and their brethren, who were
 about to be killed as they, should be fulfilled.
6:12 And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a
 great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth,
 and the whole moon became as blood,
6:13 and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree,
 shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs.
6:14 And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every
 mountain and island were removed out of their places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the
 chiliarchs, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and
 freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the
 mountains;
6:16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us,
 and have us hidden from [the] face of him that sits upon the
 throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
6:17 because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able
 to stand?
7:1 And after this I saw four angels standing upon the four
 corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth,
 that no wind might blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor
 upon any tree.
7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from [the] sunrising,
 having [the] seal of [the] living God; and he cried with a loud
 voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to hurt the
 earth and the sea,
7:3 saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees,
 until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon their
 foreheads.
7:4 And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred [and]
 forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of [the] sons of
 Israel:
7:5 out of [the] tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; out of
 [the] tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of
 Gad, twelve thousand;
7:6 out of [the] tribe of Aser, twelve thousand; out of [the]
 tribe of Nepthalim, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of
 Manasseh, twelve thousand;
7:7 out of [the] tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of [the]
 tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Issachar,
 twelve thousand;
7:8 out of [the] tribe of Zabulun, twelve thousand; out of [the]
 tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of
 Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed.
7:9 After these things I saw, and lo, a great crowd, which no
 one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples
 and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb,
 clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands.
7:10 And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our
 God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders,
 and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne upon
 their faces, and worshipped God,
7:12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
 thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God,
 to the ages of ages. Amen.
7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are
 clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
7:14 And I said to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to
 me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and
 have washed their robes, and have 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 sits upon the throne
 shall spread his tabernacle over them.
7:16 They shall not hunger any more, neither shall they thirst
 any more, nor shall the sun at all fall on them, nor any
 burning heat;
7:17 because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall
 shepherd them, and shall lead them to fountains of waters of
 life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
8:1 And when it opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
 the heaven about half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven
 trumpets were given to them.
8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a
 golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might
 give [efficacy] to the prayers of all saints at the golden
 altar which [was] before the throne.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the
 saints, out of the hand of the angel before God.
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire
 of the altar, and cast [it] on the earth: and there were
 voices, and thunders and lightnings, and an earthquake.
8:6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared
 themselves that they might sound with [their] trumpets.
8:7 And the first sounded [his] trumpet: and there was hail and
 fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth;
 and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third
 part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt
 up.
8:8 And the second angel sounded [his] trumpet: and as 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
 which had life died; and the third part of the ships were
 destroyed.
8:10 And the third angel sounded [his] trumpet: and there fell
 out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, 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 of the men died of
 the waters because they were made bitter.
8:12 And the fourth angel sounded [his] trumpet: 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
 should be darkened, and that the day should not appear [for]
 the third part of it, and the night the same.
8:13 And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven,
 saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell
 upon the earth, for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the
 three angels who are about to sound.
9:1 And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star
 out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to
 it the key of the pit of the abyss.
9:2 And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke
 out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun
 and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.
9:3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and
 power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have
 power;
9:4 and it was said to them, that they should not injure the
 grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the
 men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads:
9:5 and it was given to them 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 it strikes a man.
9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way
 find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.
9:7 And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like to horses
 prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and
 their faces as faces of men;
9:8 and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as
 of lions,
9:9 and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the
 sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many
 horses running to war;
9:10 and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their
 power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.
9:11 They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his
 name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has [for] name
 Apollyon.
9:12 The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes
 after these things.
9:13 And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a
 voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] before
 God,
9:14 saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the
 four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
9:15 And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the
 hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third
 part of men;
9:16 and the number of the hosts of horse [was] twice ten
 thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat
 upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and
 brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as heads of
 lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and
 brimstone.
9:18 By these three plagues were the third part of men killed,
 by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of
 their mouths.
9:19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their
 tails: for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and
 with them they injure.
9:20 And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues
 repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not
 worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone
 and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
9:21 And they repented not of their murders, nor of their
 witchcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
10:1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the
 heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head,
 and his countenance as the sun, and his feet as pillars of
 fire,
10:2 and having in his hand a little opened book. And he set his
 right foot on the sea, and the left upon the earth,
10:3 and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he
 cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.
10:4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write:
 and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things
 which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.
10:5 And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth
 lifted up his right hand to the heaven,
10:6 and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages, who
 created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth
 and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that
 are in it, that there should be no longer delay;
10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
 is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be
 completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own
 bondmen the prophets.
10:8 And the voice which I heard out of the heaven [was] again
 speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book which is
 opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and
 on the earth.
10:9 And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the
 little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it
 shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet
 as honey.
10:10 And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel,
 and ate it up; and it was in my mouth as honey, sweet; and when
 I had eaten it my belly was made bitter.
10:11 And it was said to me, Thou must prophesy again as to
 peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.
11:1 And there was given to me a reed like a staff, saying,
 Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them
 that worship in it.
11:2 And the court which [is] without the temple cast out, and
 measure it not; because it has been given [up] to the nations,
 and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.
11:3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall
 prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in
 sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand
 before the Lord of the earth;
11:5 and if any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their
 mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to
 injure them, thus must he be killed.
11:6 These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall
 during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the
 waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often
 as they will with every plague.
11:7 And when they shall have completed their testimony, the
 beast who comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them,
 and shall conquer them, and shall kill them:
11:8 and their body [shall be] on the street of the great city,
 which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their
 Lord was crucified.
11:9 And [men] of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations
 see their body three days and a half, and they do not suffer
 their bodies to be put into a sepulchre.
11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth rejoice over them, and
 are full of delight, and shall send gifts one to another,
 because these, the two prophets, tormented them that dwell upon
 the earth.
11:11 And after the three days and a half [the] spirit of life
 from God came into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
 great fear fell upon those beholding them.
11:12 And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to
 them, Come up here; and they went up to the heaven in the
 cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
11:13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the
 tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were
 slain in the earthquake. And the remnant were filled with fear,
 and gave glory to the God of the heaven.
11:14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe comes
 quickly.
11:15 And the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet: and there
 were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of the
 world of our Lord and of his Christ is come, and he shall reign
 to the ages of ages.
11:16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones
 before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
11:17 saying, We give thee thanks, Lord God Almighty, [He] who
 is, and who was, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast
 reigned.
11:18 And the nations have been full of wrath, and thy wrath is
 come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the
 recompense to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and
 to those who fear thy name, small and great; and to destroy
 those that destroy the earth.
11:19 And the temple of God in the heaven was opened, and the
 ark of his covenant was seen in his temple: and there were
 lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and
 great hail.
12:1 And a great sign was seen in the 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 being with child she cried, [being] in travail, and in
 pain to bring forth.
12:3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and behold, a
 great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his
 heads seven diadems;
12:4 and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the
 heaven; and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood
 before the woman who was about to bring forth, in order that
 when she brought forth he might devour her child.
12:5 And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all
 the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to
 God and to his throne.
12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there
 a place prepared of God, that they should nourish her there a
 thousand two hundred [and] sixty days.
12:7 And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels
 went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his
 angels;
12:8 and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in
 the heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he
 who is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole
 habitable world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
 were cast out with him.
12:10 And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is
 come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,
 and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our
 brethren has been cast out, who accused them before our God day
 and night:
12:11 and *they* have overcome him by reason of the blood of the
 Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and have
 not loved their life even unto death.
12:12 Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that
 dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the
 devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a
 short time.
12:13 And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the
 earth, he persecuted the woman which bore the male [child].
12:14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the
 great eagle, that she might fly into the desert into her place,
 where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a
 time, from [the] face of the serpent.
12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman
 water as a river, that he might make her be [as] one carried
 away by a river.
12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its
 mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his
 mouth.
12:17 And the dragon was angry 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.
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast
 rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and
 upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of
 blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its
 feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the
 dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great
 authority;
13:3 and one of his heads [was] as slain to death, and his wound
 of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after
 the beast.
13:4 And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the
 authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast,
 saying, Who [is] like to the beast? and who can make war with
 it?
13:5 And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things
 and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue
 its career forty-two months.
13:6 And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to
 blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their
 tabernacle in the heaven.
13:7 And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and
 to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over
 every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation;
13:8 and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every
 one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of
 [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.
13:9 If any one has an ear, let him hear.
13:10 If any one [leads] into captivity, he goes into captivity.
 If any one shall kill with [the] sword, he must with [the]
 sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the
 saints.
13:11 And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it
 had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon;
13:12 and it exercises all the authority of the first beast
 before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to
 do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.
13:13 And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire
 to come down from heaven to the earth before men.
13:14 And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason
 of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast,
 saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to
 the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.
13:15 And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the
 beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and
 should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image
 of the beast should be killed.
13:16 And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich
 and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should
 give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
13:17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that
 had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
13:18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count
 the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its
 number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.
14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing upon mount Zion,
 and with him a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, having his
 name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads.
14:2 And I heard a voice out of the heaven as a voice of many
 waters, and as a voice of great thunder. And the voice which I
 heard [was] as of harp-singers harping with their harps;
14:3 and they sing a new song before the throne, and before the
 four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn
 that song save the hundred [and] forty-four thousand who were
 bought from the earth.
14:4 These are they who have not been defiled with women, for
 they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb
 wheresoever it goes. These have been bought from men [as]
 first-fruits to God and to the Lamb:
14:5 and in their mouths was no lie found; [for] they are
 blameless.
14:6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having [the]
 everlasting glad tidings to announce to those settled on the
 earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
14:7 saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for
 the hour of his judgment has come; and do homage to him who has
 made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of
 waters.
14:8 And another, a second, angel followed, saying, Great
 Babylon has fallen, has fallen, which of the wine of the fury
 of her fornication has made all nations drink.
14:9 And another, a third, angel followed them, saying with a
 loud voice, If any one do homage to the beast and its image,
 and receive a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand,
14:10 he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God
 prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be
 tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and
 before the Lamb.
14:11 And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages,
 and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the
 beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its
 name.
14:12 Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the
 commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Write,
 Blessed the dead who die in [the] Lord from henceforth. Yea,
 saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for
 their works follow with them.
14:14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one
 sitting like [the] Son of man, having upon 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, Send thy sickle and
 reap; for the hour of reaping is come, for the harvest of the
 earth is dried.
14:16 And he that sat on the cloud put his sickle on the earth,
 and the earth was reaped.
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which [is] in the
 heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
14:18 And another angel came out of the altar, having power over
 fire, and called with a loud cry to him that had the sharp
 sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches
 of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripened.
14:19 And the angel put his sickle to the earth, and gathered
 the vine of the earth, and cast [the bunches] into the great
 wine-press of the fury of God;
14:20 and the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood
 went out of the wine-press to the bits of the horses for a
 thousand six hundred stadia.
15:1 And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful:
 seven angels having seven plagues, the last; for in them the
 fury of God is completed.
15:2 And I saw as a glass sea, mingled with fire, and those that
 had gained the victory over the beast, and over its image, and
 over the number of its name, standing upon the glass sea,
 having harps of God.
15:3 And they sing the song of Moses bondman of God, and the
 song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful [are] thy works,
 Lord God Almighty; righteous and true [are] thy ways, O King of
 nations.
15:4 Who shall not fear [thee], O Lord, and glorify thy name?
 for [thou] only [art] holy; for all nations shall come and do
 homage before thee; for thy righteousnesses have been made
 manifest.
15:5 And after these things I saw, and the temple of the
 tabernacle of witness in the heaven was opened;
15:6 and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of
 the temple, clothed in pure bright linen, and girded about the
 breasts with golden girdles.
15:7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven
 angels seven golden bowls, full of the fury of God, who lives
 to the ages of ages.
15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God
 and from his power: and no one could enter into the temple
 until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the
 seven angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of
 God upon the earth.
16:2 And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth;
 and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had
 the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped its image.
16:3 And the second poured out his bowl on the sea; and it
 became blood, as of a dead man; and every living soul died in
 the sea.
16:4 And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers, and [on]
 the fountains of waters; and they became blood.
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Thou art
 righteous, who art and wast, the holy one, that thou hast
 judged so;
16:6 for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets,
 and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true
 and righteous [are] thy judgments.
16:8 And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was
 given to it to burn men with fire.
16:9 And the men were burnt with great heat, and blasphemed the
 name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and did not
 repent to give him glory.
16:10 And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the
 beast; and its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their
 tongues with distress,
16:11 and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their distresses
 and their sores, and did not repent of their works.
16:12 And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river
 Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the
 kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.
16:13 And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
 mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet,
 three unclean spirits, as frogs;
16:14 for they are [the] spirits of demons, doing signs; which
 go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them
 together to the war of [that] great day of God the Almighty.
16:15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watches
 and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, and that
 they [may not] see his shame.)
16:16 And he gathered them together to the place called in
 Hebrew, Armagedon.
16:17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there
 came out a great voice from the temple of the heaven, from the
 throne, saying, It is done.
16:18 And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and
 there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were
 upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great.
16:19 And the great city was [divided] into three parts; and the
 cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon was remembered
 before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his
 wrath.
16:20 And every island fled, and mountains were not found;
16:21 and a great hail, as of a talent weight, comes down out of
 the heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the
 plague of hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great.
17:1 And one of the seven angels, which had the seven bowls,
 came and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the
 sentence of the great harlot who sits upon the many waters;
17:2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed
 fornication; and they that dwell on the earth have been made
 drunk with the wine of her fornication.
17:3 And he carried me away in spirit to a desert; and I saw a
 woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy,
 having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and had
 ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
 golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the unclean
 things of her fornication;
17:5 and upon her forehead a name written, Mystery, great
 Babylon, the mother of the harlots, and of the abominations of
 the earth.
17:6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and
 with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I wondered,
 seeing her, with great wonder.
17:7 And the angel said to me, Why hast thou wondered? *I* will
 tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which
 carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
17:8 The beast which thou sawest was, and is not, and is about
 to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction: and they
 who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written from the
 founding of the world in the book of life, shall wonder, seeing
 the beast, that it was, and is not, and shall be present.
17:9 Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven
 mountains, whereon the woman sits.
17:10 And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the
 other has not yet come; and when he comes he must remain [only]
 a little while.
17:11 And the beast that was and is not, he also is an eighth,
 and is of the seven, and goes into destruction.
17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which
 have not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings
 one hour with the beast.
17:13 These have one mind, and give their power and authority to
 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 called, and chosen, and faithful.
17:15 And he says to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
 harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and
 tongues.
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these
 shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked,
 and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire;
17:17 for God has given to their hearts to do his mind, and to
 act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until
 the words of God shall be fulfilled.
17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which
 has kingship over the kings of the earth.
18:1 After these things I saw another angel descending out of
 the heaven, having great authority: and the earth was lightened
 with his glory.
18:2 And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Great Babylon has
 fallen, has fallen, and has become the habitation of demons,
 and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean
 and hated bird;
18:3 because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury
 of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed
 fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have been
 enriched through the might of her luxury.
18:4 And I heard another voice out of the heaven saying, Come
 out of her, my people, that ye have not fellowship in her sins,
 and that ye do not receive of her plagues:
18:5 for her sins have been heaped on one another up to the
 heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses.
18:6 Recompense her even as she has recompensed; and double [to
 her] double, according to her works. In the cup which she has
 mixed, mix to her double.
18:7 So much as she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously,
 so much torment and grief give to her. Because she says in her
 heart, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow; and I shall in no
 wise see grief:
18:8 for this reason in one day shall her plagues come, death
 and grief and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for
 strong [is the] Lord God who has judged her.
18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication,
 and lived luxuriously with her, shall weep and wail over her,
 when they see the smoke of her burning,
18:10 standing afar off, through fear of her torment, saying,
 Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one
 hour thy judgment is come.
18:11 And the merchants of the earth weep and grieve over her,
 because no one buys their lading any more;
18:12 lading of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and
 pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet dye,
 and all thyine wood, and every article in ivory, and every
 article in most precious wood, and in brass, and in iron, and
 in marble,
18:13 and cinnamon, and amomum, and incense, and unguent, and
 frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and
 cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of
 bodies, and souls of men.
18:14 And the ripe fruits which were the lust of thy soul have
 departed from thee, and all fair and splendid things have
 perished from thee, and they shall not find them any more at
 all.
18:15 The merchants of these things, who had been enriched
 through her, shall stand afar off through fear of her torment,
 weeping and grieving,
18:16 saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which [was] clothed with
 fine linen and purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold
 and precious stones and pearls!
18:17 for in one hour so great riches has been made desolate.
 And every steersman, and every one who sailed to any place, and
 sailors, and all who exercise their calling on the sea, stood
 afar off,
18:18 and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What
 [city] is like to the great city?
18:19 and cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and
 grieving, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all that
 had ships in the sea were enriched through her costliness! for
 in one hour she has been made desolate.
18:20 Rejoice over her, heaven, and [ye] saints and apostles and
 prophets; for God has judged your judgment upon her.
18:21 And a strong angel took up a stone, as a great millstone,
 and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall
 Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall be found no more
 at all;
18:22 and voice of harp-singers and musicians and flute-players
 and trumpeters shall not be heard any more at all in thee, and
 no artificer of any art shall be found any more at all in thee,
 and voice of millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee,
18:23 and light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee, and
 voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in
 thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for
 by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived.
18:24 And in her was found [the] blood of prophets and saints,
 and of all the slain upon the earth.
19:1 After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great
 multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and
 the glory and the power of our God:
19:2 for true and righteous [are] his judgments; for he has
 judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her
 fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her
 hand.
19:3 And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes
 up to the ages of ages.
19:4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures
 fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne,
 saying, Amen, Hallelujah.
19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God,
 all ye his bondmen, [and] ye that fear him, small and great.
19:6 And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of
 many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying,
 Hallelujah, for [the] Lord our God the Almighty has taken to
 himself kingly power.
19:7 Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the
 marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself
 ready.
19:8 And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine
 linen, bright [and] pure; for the fine linen is the
 righteousnesses of the saints.
19:9 And he says to me, Write, Blessed [are] they who are called
 to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me,
 These are the true words of God.
19:10 And I fell before his feet to do him homage. And he says
 to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the
 fellow-bondman] of thy brethren who have the testimony of
 Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the
 testimony of Jesus.
19:11 And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse,
 and one sitting on it, [called] Faithful and True, and he
 judges and makes war in righteousness.
19:12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head many
 diadems, having a name written which no one knows but himself;
19:13 and [he is] clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and
 his name is called The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies which [are] in the heaven followed him upon
 white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen.
19:15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that
 with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them
 with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of
 the wrath of God the Almighty.
19:16 And he has upon his garment, and upon 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 birds that fly in mid-heaven,
 Come, gather yourselves to the great supper of God,
19:18 that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiliarchs,
 and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses and of those that
 sit upon them, and flesh of all, both free and bond, and 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 upon
 the horse, and against his army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and the false prophet that [was]
 with him, who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived
 them that received the mark of the beast, and those that
 worship his image. Alive were both cast into the lake of fire
 which burns with brimstone;
19:21 and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat
 upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds
 were filled with their flesh.
20:1 And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the
 key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.
20:2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is
 [the] devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
20:3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it] and sealed [it]
 over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until
 the thousand years were completed; after these things he must
 be loosed for a little time.
20:4 And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was
 given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of
 the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and
 those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image,
 and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and
 they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:
20:5 the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years
 had been completed. This [is] the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection:
 over these the second death has no power; but they shall be
 priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a
 thousand years.
20:7 And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan
 shall be loosed from his prison,
20:8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the
 four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
 together to the war, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea.
20:9 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 the heaven and devoured them.
20:10 And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of
 fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false
 prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages
 of ages.
20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,
 from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was
 not found for them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the
 throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened,
 which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the
 things written in the books according to their works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which [were] in it, and death
 and hades gave up the dead which [were] in them; and they were
 judged each according to their works:
20:14 and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This
 is the second death, [even] the lake of fire.
20:15 And if any one was not found written in the book of life,
 he 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 had passed away, and the sea exists
 no more.
21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of
 the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her
 husband.
21:3 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold,
 the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle
 with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall
 be with them, their God.
21:4 And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and
 death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor
 distress shall exist any more, for the former things have
 passed away.
21:5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all
 things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are
 true and faithful.
21:6 And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the
 Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that
 thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7 He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be
 to him God, and he shall be to me son.
21:8 But to the fearful and unbelieving, [and sinners], and
 those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and
 fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their
 part [is] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone;
 which is the second death.
21:9 And there came one of the seven angels which had had the
 seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me,
 saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
21:10 And he carried me away in [the] Spirit, [and set me] on a
 great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city,
 Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
21:11 having the glory of God. Her shining [was] like a most
 precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;
21:12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at
 the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those
 of the twelve tribes of [the] sons of Israel.
21:13 On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates;
 and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on
 them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a
 measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its
 wall.
21:16 And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much
 as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed --
 twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height
 of it are equal.
21:17 And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four
 cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.
21:18 And the building of its wall [was] jasper; and the city
 pure gold, like pure glass:
21:19 the foundations of the wall of the city [were] adorned
 with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the
 second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
 chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth,
 chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21:21 And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the
 gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the
 city pure gold, as transparent glass.
21:22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is
 its temple, and the Lamb.
21:23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that
 they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened
 it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
21:24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of
 the earth bring their glory to it.
21:25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night
 shall not be there.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the
 nations to it.
21:27 And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a
 lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are]
 written in the book of life of the Lamb.
22:1 And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as
 crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side
 and on that side, [the] tree of life, producing twelve fruits,
 in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree
 for healing of the nations.
22:3 And no curse shall be any more; and 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 [is] on their
 foreheads.
22:5 And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and
 light of [the] sun; for [the] Lord God shall shine upon them,
 and they shall reign to the ages of ages.
22:6 And he said to me, These words [are] faithful and true; and
 [the] Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his
 angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to
 pass.
22:7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed [is] he who keeps the
 words of the prophecy of this book.
22:8 And I, John, [was] he who heard and saw these things. And
 when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet
 of the angel who shewed me these things.
22:9 And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy
 fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren the
 prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do
 homage to God.
22:10 And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of
 this book. The time is near.
22:11 Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still;
 and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that
 is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy,
 let him be sanctified still.
22:12 Behold, I come quickly, and my reward with me, to render
 to every one as his work shall be.
22:13 *I* [am] the Alpha and the Omega, [the] first and [the]
 last, the beginning and the end.
22:14 Blessed [are] they that wash their robes, that they may
 have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by
 the gates into the city.
22:15 Without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the
 fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every
 one that loves and makes a lie.
22:16 *I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to
 you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David,
 the bright [and] morning star.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
 hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that
 will, let him take [the] water of life freely.
22:18 *I* testify to every one who hears the words of the
 prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things,
 God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this
 book.
22:19 And if any one take from the words of the book of this
 prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life,
 and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
22:20 He that testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly.
 Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all the
 saints.
