    10 On the Lords Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

11. 11 saying, What thou seest, write in a book and send (it) to the seven churches: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

    11 which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."

12. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;

    12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

13. 13 and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.

    13 and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.

14. 14 And his head and his hair were white as white wool, (white) as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

    14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.

15. 15 and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.

    15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.

16. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

    16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

17. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,

    17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

18. 18 and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

19. 19 Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;

    19 "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.
