Revelation 20:3-5
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 Then he hurled him into the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and closed it and sealed it above him, so that he should no longer lead astray and deceive and seduce the nations until the thousand years were at an end. After that he must be liberated for a short time.
4 Then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted. Also I saw the souls of those who had been slain with axes [beheaded] for their witnessing to Jesus and [for preaching and testifying] for the Word of God, and who had refused to pay homage to the beast or his statue and had not accepted his mark or permitted it to be stamped on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived again and ruled with Christ (the Messiah) a thousand years.(A)
5 The remainder of the dead were not restored to life again until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

3 He threw him into the Abyss,(A) and locked and sealed(B) it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations(C) anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
4 I saw thrones(D) on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.(E) And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded(F) because of their testimony about Jesus(G) and because of the word of God.(H) They[a] had not worshiped the beast(I) or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(J) They came to life and reigned(K) with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.(L)
