1 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.

1 耶稣基督的启示， 就是 神赐给他， 叫他把快要发生的事指示他的众仆人。他就差派天使显示给他的仆人约翰。

2 约翰把 神的道， 和耶稣基督的见证， 凡是自己所看见的， 都见证出来了。

3 读这书上预言的人， 和那些听见这预言并且遵守书中记载的人， 都是有福的！ 因为时候近了。

4 约翰写信给在亚西亚的七个教会。愿恩惠平安， 从那位今在、昔在、以后永在的 神， 从他宝座前的七灵，

5 又从那信实的见证人、死人中首先复生的、地上众君王的统治者耶稣基督临到你们。他爱我们， 用自己的血把我们从我们的罪中释放出来，

6 又使我们成为国度， 作他父 神的祭司。愿荣耀权能都归给他， 直到永永远远。阿们。

7 看哪， 他驾着云降临， 每一个人都要看见他， 连那些刺过他的人也要看见他， 地上的万族都要因他捶胸。这是必定的， 阿们。

8 主 神说： "我是阿拉法， 我是俄梅格； 我是今在、昔在、以后永在， 全能的 神。"

9 我约翰， 就是你们的弟兄， 在耶稣里跟你们一同分享患难、国度和忍耐的， 为了 神的道和耶稣的见证， 曾经在那名叫拔摩的海岛上。

10 有一个主日， 我在灵里， 听见在我后边有一个大声音， 好像号筒的响声，

11 说： "你所看见的， 要写在书上， 也要寄给以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉铁非、老底嘉七个教会。"

12 我转过身来要看看那跟我说话的声音是谁发的； 一转过来， 就看见七个金灯台。

13 灯台中间有一位好像人子的， 身上穿着直垂到脚的长衣， 胸间束着金带。

14 他的头和头发像白羊毛、像雪一样洁白， 他的眼睛好像火焰，

15 他的两脚好像在炉中精炼过的发光的铜， 他的声音好像众水的声音。

16 他的右手拿着七星， 有一把两刃的利剑从他口中吐出来； 他的脸发光好像正午的烈日。

17 我看见了他， 就仆倒在他脚前， 像死了一样。他用右手按着我， 说： "不要怕！ 我是首先的， 我是末后的，

18 又是永活的； 我曾经死过， 看哪， 现在又活着， 直活到永永远远， 并且拿着死亡和阴间的钥匙。

19 所以， 你要把所看见的， 现在的， 和今后将要发生的事都写下来。

20 你所看见在我右手中的七星和七个金灯台的奥秘就是这样： 七星是七个教会的使者， 七灯台是七个教会。"
