10 I was in the sprete on a sondaye and herde behynde me a gret voyce as it had bene of a trompe
On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
11 sayinge: I am Alpha and Omega the fyrst and the laste. That thou seist write in a boke and sende it vnto the congregacions which are in Asia vnto Ephesus and vnto Smyrna and vnto Pargamos and vnto Thiatira and vnto Sardis and vnto Philadelphia and vnto Laodicia.
saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 And I turned backe to se the voyce that spake to me. And when I was turned: I sawe. vii golde candelstyckes
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and in the myddes of the cadelstyckes one lyke vnto ye sone of ma clothed with a lynnen garmet doune to the ground and gyrd aboute the pappes with a golden gyrdle
and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
14 His heed and his heares were whyte as whyte woll and as snowe: and his eyes were as a flame of fyre:
The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.
15 and his fete lyke vnto brasse as though they brent in a fornace: and his voyce as the sounde of many waters.
His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 And he had in his right honde vii. starres. And out of his mouth wet a sharpe twoo edged swearde. And his face shone eve as the sonne in his strength.
He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
17 And when I sawe him I fell at his fete even as deed. And he layde hys ryght honde apon me sayinge vnto me: feare not. I am the fyrst and the laste
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
19 wryte therfore the thynges which thou haste sene and the thynges which are and the thynges which shalbe fulfylled hereafter:
Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
20 and ye mystery of the vii. starres which thou sawest in my ryght honde and the vii. golden candelstyckes. The vii. stares are the messengers of the vii. congregacios: And the vii. candlestyckes which thou sawest are the vii. congregacions.
This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
