Revelation 1
1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς δεῖξαι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει καὶ ἐσήμανεν ἀποστείλας διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννῃ,
2 John testified about the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all the things that he saw.
ὃς ἐμαρτύρησεν τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ὅσα (τε *k*) εἶδεν.
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud this prophecy, and those who listen to the words of this prophecy and who obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
μακάριος ὁ ἀναγινώσκων καὶ οἱ ἀκούοντες τοὺς λόγους τῆς προφητείας καὶ τηροῦντες τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ γεγραμμένα· ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς ἐγγύς.
4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: May grace be to you and peace from the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
Ἰωάννης ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ (τοῦ *K(O)*) ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἑπτὰ πνευμάτων ἃ (ἐστιν *k*) ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has released us from our sins by his blood—
καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστός, ὁ πρωτότοκος (ἐκ *k*) τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς. τῷ (ἀγαπῶντι *N(k)O*) ἡμᾶς καὶ (λύσαντι *N(K)O*) ἡμᾶς (ἐκ *N(k)O*) τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ
6 he has made us a kingdom, priests for his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς (βασιλείαν, *N(K)O*) (καὶ *K*) ἱερεῖς τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, ἀμήν. (aiōn g165)
7 Look, he is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes, Amen.
Ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν, καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν πᾶς ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ οἵτινες αὐτὸν ἐξεκέντησαν· καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς, ναὶ ἀμήν.
8 “I am the alpha and the omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ ἄλφα καὶ τὸ ὦ (ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος, *K*) λέγει (ὁ *k*) κύριος (ὁ θεός, *NO*) ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ὁ παντοκράτωρ.
9 I, John—your brother and the one who shares with you in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Jesus—was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.
Ἐγὼ Ἰωάννης, ὁ (καὶ *k*) ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν καὶ (συγκοινωνὸς *NK(o)*) ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ (ἐν τῇ *k*) βασιλείᾳ καὶ ὑπομονῇ (ἐν *no*) Ἰησοῦ (Χριστῷ, *K*) ἐγενόμην ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ (διὰ *k*) τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ (Χριστοῦ. *K*)
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.
ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι ἐν τῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἤκουσα ὀπίσω μου φωνὴν μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγος
11 It said, “Write what you see in a book, and send it to the seven churches—to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
λεγούσης (ἐγώ *KO*) (ἐιμι τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, ὃ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος· καὶ *K*) ὃ βλέπεις γράψον εἰς βιβλίον καὶ πέμψον ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις (ταῖς ἐν Ἀσίᾳ· *K*) εἰς Ἔφεσον καὶ εἰς Σμύρναν καὶ εἰς Πέργαμον καὶ εἰς Θυάτειρα καὶ εἰς Σάρδεις καὶ εἰς Φιλαδέλφειαν καὶ εἰς Λαοδίκειαν.
12 I turned around to see whose voice was speaking to me, and as I turned I saw seven golden lampstands.
Καὶ (ἐκεῖ *O*) ἐπέστρεψα βλέπειν τὴν φωνὴν ἥτις (ἐλάλει *N(k)O*) μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ. καὶ ἐπιστρέψας εἶδον ἑπτὰ λυχνίας χρυσᾶς
13 In the middle of the lampstands there was one like a son of man, wearing a long robe that reached down to his feet and a golden sash around his chest.
καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν (ἑπτὰ *KO*) λυχνιῶν ὅμοιον (υἱὸν *N(k)O*) ἀνθρώπου ἐνδεδυμένον ποδήρη καὶ περιεζωσμένον πρὸς τοῖς μαστοῖς ζώνην χρυσᾶν.
14 His head and hair were as white as wool—as white as snow—and his eyes were like a flame of fire.
ἡ δὲ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ τρίχες λευκαὶ (ὡς *N(k)O*) ἔριον λευκὸν ὡς χιὼν καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡς φλὸξ πυρὸς
15 His feet were like polished bronze, like bronze that had been refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many rushing waters.
καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ ὡς ἐν καμίνῳ (πεπυρωμένης *N(k)O*) καὶ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς φωνὴ ὑδάτων πολλῶν
16 He had seven stars in his right hand, and a sword with two sharp edges was coming out of his mouth. His face was shining like the sun at its strongest.
καὶ ἔχων ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀστέρας ἑπτὰ καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ῥομφαία δίστομος ὀξεῖα ἐκπορευομένη καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος φαίνει ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Καὶ ὅτε εἶδον αὐτόν, ἔπεσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὡς νεκρός, καὶ (ἔθηκεν *N(k)O*) τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ (χεῖρα *K*) ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ λέγων (μοι· *k*) μὴ φοβοῦ. ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος
19 Therefore write down what you have seen, what is now, and what will take place after this.
γράψον (οὖν *NO*) ἃ εἶδες καὶ ἃ εἰσὶν καὶ ἃ μέλλει (γενέσθαι *N(k)O*) μετὰ ταῦτα,
20 As for the hidden meaning about the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
τὸ μυστήριον τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀστέρων (οὓς *N(k)O*) εἶδες ἐπὶ τῆς δεξιᾶς μου καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ λυχνίας τὰς χρυσᾶς· οἱ ἑπτὰ ἀστέρες ἄγγελοι τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησιῶν εἰσιν καὶ αἱ λυχνίαι (αἱ *N(k)O*) (εἶδες *K*) ἑπτὰ ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαι εἰσίν.
