Revelation 1:16-18

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁶ In his right hand he had seven stars. Out of his mouth came a long knife or sword, sharp on both sides. His face shone like the sun when it is shining very brightly.

¹⁷ When I saw him, I fell down in front of him as if I had died. He put his right hand on me and said, `Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

¹⁸ I am he who lives. I died. But look, I am alive for ever. I have the keys to death and to the world of the dead.
