< Revelation 1 >
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel to his servant John:

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁⲕⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲉⲛϩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲓ.
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] to the seven 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 the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟϫϧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ.
14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw 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:
