I am Alpha and Omega the begynninge and the endinge sayth the Lorde almyghty which is and which was and which is to come.
9 I, John, who am your brother, and who share with you in the suffering and kingship and endurance of Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony to Jesus.
I Ihon youre brother and companyon in tribulacion and in the kyngdom and pacience which is in Iesu Christe was in the yle of Pathmos for the worde of god and for ye witnessynge of Iesu Christe.
10 I fell into a trance on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the blast of a trumpet.
I was in the sprete on a sondaye and herde behynde me a gret voyce as it had bene of a trompe
11 It said – ‘Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamus, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.’
sayinge: I am Alpha and Omega the fyrst and the laste. That thou seist write in a boke and sende it vnto the congregacions which are in Asia vnto Ephesus and vnto Smyrna and vnto Pargamos and vnto Thiatira and vnto Sardis and vnto Philadelphia and vnto Laodicia.
12 I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
And I turned backe to se the voyce that spake to me. And when I was turned: I sawe. vii golde candelstyckes
13 and in the midst of the lamps one like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet, and with a golden sash across his breast.
and in the myddes of the cadelstyckes one lyke vnto ye sone of ma clothed with a lynnen garmet doune to the ground and gyrd aboute the pappes with a golden gyrdle
14 The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire;
His heed and his heares were whyte as whyte woll and as snowe: and his eyes were as a flame of fyre:
15 and his feet were like brass as when molten in a furnace; his voice was like the sound of many streams,
and his fete lyke vnto brasse as though they brent in a fornace: and his voyce as the sounde of many waters.
16 in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun in the fulness of its power.
And he had in his right honde vii. starres. And out of his mouth wet a sharpe twoo edged swearde. And his face shone eve as the sonne in his strength.
17 And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said – ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
And when I sawe him I fell at his fete even as deed. And he layde hys ryght honde apon me sayinge vnto me: feare not. I am the fyrst and the laste
19 Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place –
wryte therfore the thynges which thou haste sene and the thynges which are and the thynges which shalbe fulfylled hereafter:
20 the mystic meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps are the seven churches.
and ye mystery of the vii. starres which thou sawest in my ryght honde and the vii. golden candelstyckes. The vii. stares are the messengers of the vii. congregacios: And the vii. candlestyckes which thou sawest are the vii. congregacions.
