Revelation 1:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun when it shines in all its brightness.

¹⁷ When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. Then he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ the living one. I was dead, but now I am alive forever. I have the keys of death and hell.
