After this I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven! And the voice I had previously heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show yoʋ what must take place after this.”
Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, there was a throne in heaven, with one sitting on the throne,
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲑⲟⲣⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲟⲛ
like jasper and carnelian in appearance. And around the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉϫⲟⲩⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲩⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϭⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and sitting on the thrones were the twenty-four elders. They were clothed in white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲣⲏϭⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲩⲃⲃⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⲛⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϣϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, and there were seven flaming torches burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲃⲁϭⲏⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲣⲩⲥⲧⲁⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲃⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ
Also before the throne was something like a sea of glass that looked like crystal. Around the throne on each side were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲉⲧⲟⲥ ⲉϥϩⲏⲗ
The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲛϩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲓⲃ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲉⲩⲕⲁ ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲡⲁⲛⲧⲱⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ϯ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥϯⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)

the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne and say, (aiōn g165)
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲕⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲁⲕⲥⲛⲧ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ
“Yoʋ are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive glory, honor, and power; for yoʋ created all things, and by yoʋr will they came into existence and were created.”
