Revelation 1
1 THE revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass; and sending by his angel, he shewed them to his servant John:
ⲁ̅ϯⲁⲡⲟⲅⲁⲗⲩⲙⲯⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲉ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
2 who was a witness for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ, and for the things which he saw.

9 I John, your brother and companion also with you in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10 I was rapt in spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,

11 saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last; and what thou seest write in a book, and send to the churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see what voice spake to me. And when I turned round I saw seven lamps of gold;

13 and in the midst of the seven lamps one like unto a son of man, clothed to the very feet, and girded about the breasts with a golden zone;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟϫϧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ.
14 his head and flowing locks white as a white fleece of wool, even as the snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;

15 and his feet resembled molten brass, as though they glowed in the furnace; and his voice was as the roar of many waters.

16 And he held in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as when the sun shineth in his meridian lustre.

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