THE revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass; and sending by his angel, he shewed them to his servant John:

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be with you, and peace from him, who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven spirits which are before the throne of God,

I John, your brother and companion also with you in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.
