Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it to his servant John

3 Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.

4 This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits before his throne,

9 I am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by Jesus.

10 I was filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁⲕⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲉⲛϩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲓ.
11 It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

12 I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I turned I saw seven golden candlesticks,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲫⲟⲛϩⲧ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲑⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲫⲟⲛϩⲧ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ.
13 and standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟϫϧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ.
14 His hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming fire.

15 His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ ⲭⲁⲗⲕⲟⲗⲓⲃⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲫⲟⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
16 He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲉⲥϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲃ̅ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ.
17 When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, I am the first and the last,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲓϩⲓⲧⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϧⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲧⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
19 So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.

20 The meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.”
