8 “I am the Alpha and the ‡Omega, 𝔐 C,K 63.7% ¦ Omega, the beginning and the end, 𝔐 A TR 22.5% • MSS 9.9%Omega,” says the Lord §God 𝔐 A,C,K [96.8%] ¦ — TR [1.8%]God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
John's Vision of Christ
9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance that are *in Christ Jesus 𝔐 C,K 66.1% ¦ of Jesus Christ 𝔐 A TR 25.7% ¦ in Jesus CT 3.9% ¦ in Jesus Christ ANT 0.4%in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus †Christ 𝔐 A(26),C,K [81.3%] ¦ — 𝔐 A(21) CT [17.8%]Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like that of a trumpet, 11 saying, “‡Write 𝔐 A(12),C,K [67.7%] ¦ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last,” and, “Write 𝔐 A(12) TR [7.4%] • 𝔐 A(11) [5.1%]Write what yoʋ see in a book and send it to the §seven 𝔐 A,C,K [95.9%] ¦ — ST [1.8%]seven *churches 𝔐 A,C,K [97.7%] ¦ churches that are in Asia TR [1.8%]churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned †in that direction 𝔐 C,K [60.1%] ¦ — 𝔐 A CT TR [39%]in that direction to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the ‡seven 𝔐 C,K 73.5% ¦ — 𝔐 A ECM NA SBL WH 25.3%seven lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though I were dead. But he placed his right hand upon me and §said 𝔐 A,C,K [93.7%] ¦ said to me TR [6.3%]said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last, 18 the living one. I was dead, but behold, I am alive forevermore. *Amen. 𝔐 A(29),C,K 79.2% ¦ — 𝔐 A(23) ANT CT 18.1%Amen.
