And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me, and [when I] turned, I saw seven gold lampstands,

and his feet [were] like fine bronze when it has been fired in a furnace, and his voice [was] like the sound of many waters,

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person, and he placed his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,

And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one of whom had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

And I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying like the sound of thunder, "Come!"

And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!"

And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come!" And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and the one seated on it had a balance scale in his hand.

And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice from the fourth living creature saying, "Come!"

And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they had,

And I watched when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake took place, and the sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood,

and the stars of heaven fell to the earth like a fig tree throws down its unripe figs [when] shaken by a great wind.

And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven [for] about half an hour.

And it was granted to them that they should not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months, and their torment [is] like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person.

And he cried out with a loud voice like a lion roars, and when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their own voices.

And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it up, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth, and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male [child].

And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. And {I was greatly astonished when I saw her}.

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is going to come up from the abyss, and he is going to destruction. And those who live on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished [when they] see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present.

And the kings of the earth will weep and mourn over her, those who committed sexual immorality and lived sensually with her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

and began to cry out [when they] saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "Who [is] like the great city?"

And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison

And I, John, [am] the one who heard and who saw these [things]. And when I heard and saw [them], I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed these [things] to me.
