Context Readings

John's Vision Of The Son Of Man

10 I was in the spirit on a Sunday, and heard behind me a great voice, as it had been of a trumpet, 11 saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. That thou seest, write in a book and send it unto the congregations which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea." 12 And I turned back to see the voice that spake to me. And when I was turned: I saw seven golden candlesticks.
