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

12 And I turned to see the voice which spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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 candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.
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;
14 And his head and his hair were white as white wool, [white] as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
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 like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.
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 had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
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 saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
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,
19 Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
Write the things which thou seest, and the things which are, and the things which shall be in future after these,
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 are seven churches.
the mystery of the seven stars which thou seest in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps which thou seest are the seven churches.
