Revelation 1:1-22:21 (KJV)  
    The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto
his servant John: [2] Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus
Christ, and of all things that he saw. [3] Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear
the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time
is at hand. [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; [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, [6] And hath made us kings and
priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
[7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. [8]
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 
    [9] I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the
kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word
of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. [10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's
day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, [11] Saying, I am Alpha and
Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it 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. [12] And I
turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden
candlesticks; [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. [14] His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes
were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. [16] And he had in his right hand
seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as
the sun shineth in his strength. [17] And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And
he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
[18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and
have the keys of hell and of death. 
    [19] Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things
which shall be hereafter; [20] The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest 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 sawest are the seven churches. 
    [2:1] Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that
holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks; [2] I know thy works, and thy labour, 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: [3] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my
name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. [4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against
thee, because thou hast left thy first love. [5] Remember therefore from 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. [6] But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. [7] He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 
    [8] And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first
and the last, which was dead, and is alive; [9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and
poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [10] Fear none of those things which thou
shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried;
and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee
a crown of life. [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. 
    [12] And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which
hath the sharp sword with two edges; [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. [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 stumblingblock before the
children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. [15]
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
[16] Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the
sword of my mouth. [17] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh 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. 
    [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;
[19] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy
works; and the last to be more than the first. [20] 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. [21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she
repented not. [22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with
her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. [23] And I will kill her
children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the
reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. [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. [25] But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. [26] And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. [28] And I will give him the morning
star. [29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith 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. [2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which
remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [3]
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If
therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know
what hour I will come upon thee. [4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. [5] He
that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his
name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before
his angels. [6] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches. 
    [7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that
is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man
shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; [8] I know thy works: behold, I have set
before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and
hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. [9] Behold, I will make them of the
synagogue of Satan, 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. [10]
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
[11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
[12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go 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. [13] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches. 
    [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; [15] I
know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16]
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my
mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and
naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich;
and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do
not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I
love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the
door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me. [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with
me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
[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. [2] And immediately I was in
the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. [3] And
he that sat was 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] 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. [5] And out of the
throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of
fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. [6] And 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. [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. [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. [9] And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the
throne, who liveth for ever and ever, [10] The four and twenty elders fall down before
him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their
crowns before the throne, saying, [11] Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and
honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and
were created. 
    [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. [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? [3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to
open the book, neither to look thereon. [4] And I wept much, because no man was found
worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. [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. [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. [7] And he came and took the book out of
the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. [8] And when he had taken the book, the
four 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. [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; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and
priests: and we shall reign on the earth. [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; [12] Saying with a loud
voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and
strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. [13] And every creature which is in
heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that
are in them, 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. [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. [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. [3] And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see. [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. [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] 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. [7] And
when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and
see. [8] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him. And power was given 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. [9] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them
that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they
cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto
every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they
were, should be fulfilled. [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo,
there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became as blood; [13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. [14] And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved
out of their places. [15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich
men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man,
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; [16] And said to the
mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: [17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand? 
    [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. [2] And I saw another angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to
whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither
the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
[4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred
and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. [5] Of the tribe
of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. [6] Of the tribe of Aser were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. [7] Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were
sealed twelve thousand. [8] Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve
thousand. [9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,
of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and
before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; [10] And cried with
a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb. [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, [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. [13] And one of the elders answered,
saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
[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. [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. [16] They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor
any heat. [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. [2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
were given seven trumpets. [3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a
golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. [4] And the
smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God
out of the angel's hand. [5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of
the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake. [6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
prepared themselves to sound. 
    [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] And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became
blood; [9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died;
and the third part of the ships were destroyed. [10] And the third angel sounded, and
there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; [11] And the name of the star
is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died
of the waters, because they were made bitter. [12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the
third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of
the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third
part of it, and the night likewise. 
    [13] And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying
with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other
voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! 
    [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. [2] And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. [3] And there came out of the
smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the
earth have power. [4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of
the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not
the seal of God in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was given that they should not
kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the
torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. [6] And in those days shall men seek
death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
[7] And the shapes of the locusts were like 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.
[8] And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
[9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their
wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. [10] And they had
tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to
hurt men five months. [11] And they had a king over them, 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. [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. 
    [13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the
golden altar which is before God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. [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. [16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were
two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. [17] And thus I saw the
horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of
jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out
of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. [18] By these three was the third
part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out
of their mouths. [19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their
tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. [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: [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: [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, [3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a
lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. [4] And when
the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and
write them not. [5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven, [6] And 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: [7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to
sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the
prophets. [8] And the voice which I heard from heaven 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. [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] 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. [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. [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.
[3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two
hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. [4] These are the two olive trees, and
the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. [5] And if any man will hurt
them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man
will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. [6] These have power to shut heaven,
that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them
to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. [7] And when
they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless
pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. [8] And their
dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom
and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. [9] And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not
suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. [10] And they that dwell upon the earth
shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because
these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. [11] And after three days and
an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet;
and great fear fell upon them which saw them. [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. [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. [14] The second woe is
past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [15] And the seventh angel sounded; and
there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [16] And
the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces,
and worshipped God, [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.
[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. [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: [2] And she being
with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. [3] And there appeared
another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten
horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and 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. [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. [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. [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels
fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [10] And I heard a loud
voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12]
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the
earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto
the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the
woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into
her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face
of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped
the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon
cast out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was 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. [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. [3] And I saw one of his heads as it were
wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with
him? [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. [6] And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven. [7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. [8] And all that
dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life
of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. [9] If any man have an ear, let him
hear. [10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with
the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
saints. [11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [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] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [14] And deceiveth them that
dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight
of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to
the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [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. [16] And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in
their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is
wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the
number of a man; and his number is Six hundred 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. [2]
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great
thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: [3] And they sung as
it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no
man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were
redeemed from the earth. [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 firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. [5] And in their
mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. 
    [6] And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and
tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for
the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the
sea, and the fountains of waters. [8] And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon
is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication. [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, [10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the
Lamb: [11] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have
no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the
mark of his name. [12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. [13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying
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] 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. [15]
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the
cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe. [16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on
the earth; and the earth was reaped. [17] And another angel came out of the temple which
is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [18] And another angel came out from the
altar, 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. [19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the
earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the
wrath of God. [20] And the winepress was trodden 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 marvellous, seven angels having
the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. [2] And I saw as it
were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had 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. [3] And they sing the song of Moses the
servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works,
Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. [4] Who shall not
fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall
come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. [5] And after that I
looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
[6] And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in
pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. [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. [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. [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.
[3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of
a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [4] And the third angel poured out his
vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [5] And I heard the
angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be,
because thou hast judged thus. [6] For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. [7] And I heard another out
of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. [8]
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to
scorch men with fire. [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.
[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, [11] And blasphemed the God
of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12]
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water
thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I
saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the
spirits of 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. [15]
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he
walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial
into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne,
saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there
was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled
away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of
heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for 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: [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. [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a
woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads
and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[6] And I saw the woman 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. [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. [8] The beast
that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into
perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in
the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was,
and is not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are
seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [10] And there are seven kings: five are
fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a
short space. [11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of
the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten
kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with
the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he
is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen,
and faithful. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [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] 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. [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. [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. [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. [4] And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities. [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. [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. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and
mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord
God who judgeth her. [9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and
lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the
smoke of her burning, [10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth
their merchandise any more: [12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious
stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine
wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and
of brass, and iron, and marble, [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. [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. [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, [16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in
fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and
pearls! [17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and
all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, [18]
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this
great city! [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. [20] Rejoice over her,
thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. [21] And
a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying,
Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no
more at all. [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; [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. [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: [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. [3] And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. [4] And
the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on
the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. [5] And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. [6] And
I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and
as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth. [7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the
Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted that she
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness
of saints. [9] And he saith 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.
[10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am
thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for
the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. [11] And I saw heaven opened, and
behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war. [12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on
his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word
of God. [14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed
in fine linen, white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with
it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And he hath on
his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 
    [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying
to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together
unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh
of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit
on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] And I
saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make
war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was
taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his
image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And
the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword
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. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be
loosed a little season. [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given 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. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until
the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed and holy is
he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, [8]
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog
and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the
sea. [9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the
saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and
devoured them. [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and
night for ever and ever. 
    [11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the
earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. [12] And I saw the
dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was
opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which
were written in the books, according to their works. [13] And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they
were judged every man according to their works. [14] And death and hell were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the second death. [15] And 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. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [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. [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. [7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his
God, and he shall be my son. [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and 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. 
    [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. [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, [11] Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; [12] And had a wall great and high,
and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which
are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: [13] On the east three
gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
[14] And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb. [15] And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. [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. [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. [18] And the building of the wall of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. [19] And the foundations of the wall
of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was
jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; [20] The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the
ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an
amethyst. [21] And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one
pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. [22] And I
saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. [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. [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. [25] And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for
there shall be no night there. [26] And they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it. [27] And there shall 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. [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. [3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb
shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: [4] And they shall see his face; and
his name shall be in their foreheads. [5] And there shall be no night there; and they
need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they
shall reign for ever and ever. 
    [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. [7] Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book. [8] And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had
heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these
things. [9] Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
[10] And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the
time is at hand. [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. [12] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. [13] I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and the last. [14] Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city. [15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 
    [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. 
    [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. 
    [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: [19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this book. 
    [20] He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
come, Lord Jesus. 
    [21] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
