Revelation 1 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

1This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that he could tell his servants what must happen soon. Christ then sent his angel with the message to his servant John.

2And John told everything he had seen about God's message and about what Jesus Christ had said and done.

3God will bless everyone who reads this prophecy to others, and he will bless everyone who hears and obeys it. The time is almost here.

4

I pray that you

will be blessed

with kindness and peace

from God, who is and was

and is coming.

May you receive

kindness and peace

from the seven spirits

before the throne of God.

5 the one who is and was and is coming. I am God All-Powerful!”

A Vision of the Risen Lord

9I am John, a follower together with all of you. We suffer because Jesus is our king, but he gives us the strength to endure. I was sent to Patmos Island, because I had preached God's message and had told about Jesus.

10On the Lord's day the Spirit took control of me, and behind me I heard a loud voice that sounded like a trumpet.

11The voice said, “Write in a book what you see. Then send it to the seven churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

12When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands.

13 He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet, and a gold cloth was wrapped around his chest.

14

19Write what you have seen and what is and what will happen after these things.

20I will explain the mystery of the seven stars you saw at my right side and the seven gold lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the lampstands are the seven churches.
