Revelation 1 — Context

9

I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

10

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,

11

saying, "Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."

12

Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;

13

and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.

14

His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire.

15

His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.
