Message to the Seven Churches

^4 (A)John to ^(B)the seven churches that are in ^(C)Asia: ^(D)Grace to you and peace, from ^(E)the One who is and who was and who ^[a]is to come, and from ^(F)the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

The Vision of the Son of Man

^9 (A)I, John, your ^(B)brother and ^(C)fellow partaker in the tribulation and ^(D)kingdom and ^[a](E)perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos ^(F)because of the word of God and the witness of Jesus.

^8 (A)I, John, am the one who was hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, ^(B)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
