Contemporary English Version

^17 (A) When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person. But he put his right hand on me and said:

Don't be afraid! I am the first, the last, ¹⁸ and the living one. I died, but now I am alive forever, and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead.^{[a] 19} Write what you have seen and what is and what will happen after these things.
