\mt1 APOCALYPSE OF JOHN
\c 1
\cl CHAPTER 1
\p
\v 1 Apocalypse of Jesus Christ \add [or The revelation of Jesus Christ]\add*, which God gave to him to make open to his servants, which things it behooveth to be made soon. And he signified, sending by his angel to his servant John,
\p
\v 2 which bare witnessing to the word of God, and witnessing of Jesus Christ, in these things, whatever things he saw.
\p
\v 3 Blessed \em is\em* he that readeth, and he that heareth the words of this prophecy, and keepeth those things that be written in it; for the time is nigh.
\p
\v 4 John to the seven churches, that be in Asia, grace and peace to you, of him that is, and that was, and that is to coming \add [or is to come]\add*; and of the seven spirits, that be in the sight of his throne;
\p
\v 5 and of Jesus Christ, that is a faithful witness, the first begotten of dead men, and prince of kings of the earth; which loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood,
\p
\v 6 and made us a kingdom, and priests to God and to his Father; to him \em be\em* glory and empire into worlds of worlds. Amen.
\p
\v 7 Lo! he cometh with clouds, and each eye shall see him, and they that pricked him; and all the kindreds of the earth shall bewail themselves on him. Yea, Amen!
\p
\v 8 I am alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, that is, and that was, and that is to coming \add [or is to come]\add*, almighty.
\p
\v 9 I, John, your brother, and partner in tribulation, and kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in an isle, that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus.
\p
\v 10 I was in Spirit in the Lord’s day \add [or in the Sunday]\add*, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trump,
\p
\v 11 saying \em to me\em*, Write thou in a book that thing that thou seest, and send to the seven churches that be in Asia; to Ephesus, to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
\p
\v 12 And I turned, that I should see the voice that spake with me; and I turned, and I saw seven candlesticks of gold,
\p
\v 13 and in the middle of the seven golden candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a long garment, and girded at the teats with a golden girdle.
\p
\v 14 And the head of him and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow; and the eyes of him as flame of fire,
\p
\v 15 and his feet like to latten \add [or like the dross of gold]\add*, as in a burning chimney; and the voice of him as the voice of many waters.
\p
\v 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars, and a sword sharp on ever either side \add [or on both sides]\add* went out of his mouth; and his face as the sun shineth in his virtue.
\p
\v 17 And when I had seen him, I felled down at his feet, as dead. And he putted his right hand on me, and said, Do not thou dread; I am the first and the last;
\p
\v 18 and I am alive, and I was dead; and lo! I am living into worlds of worlds, and I have the keys of death and of hell.
\p
\v 19 Therefore write thou which things thou hast seen, and which be, and which it behooveth to be done after these things.
\p
\v 20 The sacrament \add [or The mystery]\add* of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks; the seven stars be \add [the]\add* angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks be \add [the]\add* seven churches.
\c 2
\cl CHAPTER 2
\p
\v 1 And to the angel of the church of Ephesus write thou, These things saith he, that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, which walketh in the middle \add [or in the midst]\add* of the seven golden candlesticks.
\p
\v 2 I know thy works, and thy travail \add [or thy toil]\add*, and thy patience, and that thou mayest not suffer evil men; and thou hast assayed them that say that they be apostles, and be not, and thou hast found them liars;
\p
\v 3 and thou hast patience, and thou hast suffered \add [or sustained]\add* for my name, and failedest not.
\p
\v 4 But I have against thee a few things, that thou hast left thy first charity.
\p
\v 5 Therefore be thou mindful from whence thou hast fallen, and do penance, and do the first works; or else, I shall come soon to thee, and I shall move thy candlestick from his place, but thou do penance.
\p
\v 6 But thou hast this good thing, that thou hatedest the deeds of Nicolaitans, which also I hate.
\p
\v 7 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, I shall give to eat of the tree of life, that is in the paradise of my God.
\p
\v 8 And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write thou, These things saith the first and the last, that was dead, and liveth.
\p
\v 9 I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty, but thou art rich; and thou art blasphemed of them, that say, that they be Jews, and be not, but be the synagogue of Satan.
\p
\v 10 Dread thou nothing of these things, which thou shalt suffer. Lo! the devil shall send some of you into prison, that ye be tempted \add [or ye be proved]\add*; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful to the death, and I shall give to thee a crown of life.
\p
\v 11 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh, shall not be hurt of the second death.
\p
\v 12 And to the angel of the church of Pergamum, write thou, These things saith he, that hath the sword sharp on either side \add [or on each side]\add*.
\p
\v 13 I know where thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan is; and thou holdest my name, and deniedest not my faith. And in those days \em was\em* Antipas, my faithful witness, that was slain at you, where Satan dwelleth.
\p
\v 14 But I have against thee a few things; for thou hast there men holding the teaching of Balaam, which taught Balak to send cause of stumbling before the sons of Israel, to eat of sacrifices of idols, and to do fornication;
\p
\v 15 so also thou hast men holding the teaching of Nicolaitans.
\p
\v 16 Also do thou penance; if anything less, I shall come soon to thee, and I shall fight with them with the sword of my mouth.
\p
\v 17 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh I shall give angel meat hid \add [or manna]\add*; and I shall give to him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, but he that taketh.
\p
\v 18 And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write thou, These things saith the Son of God, that hath eyes as flame of fire, and his feet like latten.
\p
\v 19 I know thy works, and faith, and charity, and thy service, and thy patience, and thy last works more than the former.
\p
\v 20 But I have against thee a few things; for thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, which saith that she is a prophetess, to teach and deceive my servants, to do lechery, and to eat of things offered to idols.
\p
\v 21 And I gave to her time, that she should do penance, and she would not do penance of her fornication.
\p
\v 22 And lo! I send her into a bed, and they that do lechery with her shall be in most tribulation, but they do penance of her works.
\p
\v 23 And I shall slay her sons into death, and all churches shall know, that I am searching reins and hearts; and I shall give to each man of you after his works.
\p
\v 24 And I say to you, and to others that be at Thyatira, whoever have not this teaching, and that knew not the highness of Satan, how they say, I shall not send on you another charge;
\p
\v 25 nevertheless hold ye that that ye have, till I come.
\p
\v 26 And to him that shall overcome, and that shall keep till into the end my works, I shall give power on folks,
\p
\v 27 and he shall govern them in an iron rod; and they shall be broken altogether, as a vessel of a potter, as also I received of my Father;
\p
\v 28 and I shall give to him a morrow star.
\p
\v 29 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches.
\c 3
\cl CHAPTER 3
\p
\v 1 And to the angel of the church of Sardis write thou, These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars. I know thy works, for thou hast a name, that thou livest, and thou art dead.
\p
\v 2 Be thou waking, and confirm thou other things, that were to dying; for I find not thy works full before my God.
\p
\v 3 Therefore have thou in mind, how thou receivedest, and heardest; and keep, and do penance. Therefore if thou wake not, I shall come as a night thief to thee, and thou shalt not know in what hour I shall come to thee.
\p
\v 4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defouled their clothes; and they shall walk with me in white clothes, for they be worthy.
\p
\v 5 He that overcometh, shall be clothed thus with white clothes; and I shall not do away his name from the book of life, and I shall acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his angels.
\p
\v 6 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches.
\p
\v 7 And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write thou, These things saith the holy and true, that hath the key of David; which openeth, and no man closeth, he closeth, and no man openeth.
\p
\v 8 I know thy works, and lo! I gave before thee a door opened, which no man may close; for thou hast a little virtue, and hast kept my word, and deniedest not my name.
\p
\v 9 Lo! I shall give to thee of the synagogue of Satan, which say that they be Jews, and be not, but lie. Lo! I shall make them, that they come, and worship before thy feet; and they shall know, that I loved thee,
\p
\v 10 for thou keptest the word of my patience. And I shall keep thee from the hour of temptation, that is to coming \add [or to come]\add* into all the world, to tempt men that dwell in earth.
\p
\v 11 Lo! I come soon; hold thou that that thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
\p
\v 12 And him that shall overcome, I shall make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall no more go out; and I shall write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, of the new Jerusalem, that cometh down from heaven of my God, and my new name.
\p
\v 13 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches.
\p
\v 14 And to the angel of the church of Laodicea write thou, These things saith Amen, the faithful witness and true, which is beginning of God’s creature.
\p
\v 15 I know thy works, for neither thou art cold, neither \em thou art\em* hot; I would that thou were cold, either hot;
\p
\v 16 but for thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, neither hot, I shall begin to cast \add [or to vomit]\add* thee out of my mouth.
\p
\v 17 For thou sayest, That I am rich, and full of goods, and have need of nothing; and thou knowest not, that thou art a wretch, and wretchful \add [or wretched]\add*, and poor, and blind, and naked.
\p
\v 18 I counsel thee to buy of me burnt gold, that thou be made rich, and be clothed with white clothes, that the confusion \add [or the shame]\add* of thy nakedness be not seen; and anoint thine eyes with a collyrium, \em that is, a medicine for eyes, gathered of diverse herbs\em*, that thou see.
\p
\v 19 I reprove, and chastise whom I love; therefore pursue thou \em good men\em*, and do penance.
\p
\v 20 Lo! I stand at the door, and knock; if any man heareth my voice, and openeth the gate to me, I shall enter to him, and sup with him, and he with me.
\p
\v 21 And I shall give to him that shall overcome, to sit with me in my throne, as also I overcame, and sat with my Father in his throne.
\p
\v 22 He that hath ears, hear he, what the Spirit saith to the churches.
\c 4
\cl CHAPTER 4
\p
\v 1 After these things I saw, and lo! a door was opened in heaven. And the first voice that I heard, \em was\em* as of a trump speaking with me, and said, Go thou up hither, and I shall show to thee which things it behooveth to be done soon after these things.
\p
\v 2 And anon I was in Spirit, and lo! a seat was set in heaven, and upon the seat \em one\em* sitting.
\p
\v 3 And he that sat, was like the sight of a stone jasper, and to sardine; and a rainbow was in \add [the]\add* compass of the seat, like the sight of emerald.
\p
\v 4 And in the compass of the seat \em were\em* four and twenty small seats; and above \add [or upon]\add* the thrones four and twenty elder men sitting, covered about with white clothes, and in the heads of them golden crowns.
\p
\v 5 And lightnings, and voices, and thunderings came out of the throne; and seven lamps burning before the throne, which be the seven spirits of God.
\p
\v 6 And before the seat as a sea of glass, like crystal, and in the middle of the seat, and in the compass of the seat, \add [were]\add* four beasts, full of eyes before and behind.
\p
\v 7 And the first beast like a lion; and the second beast like a calf; and the third beast having a face as of a man; and the fourth beast like an eagle flying.
\p
\v 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings; and all about and within they were full of eyes; and they had not rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God almighty, that was, and that is, and that is to coming \add [or is to come]\add*.
\p
\v 9 And when those four beasts gave glory, and honour, and blessing to him that sat on the throne, that liveth into worlds of worlds,
\p
\v 10 the four and twenty elder men fell down before him that sat on the throne, and worshipped him that liveth into worlds of worlds. And they cast their crowns before the throne, and said,
\p
\v 11 Thou, Lord our God, art worthy to take glory, and honour, and virtue; for thou madest of nought all things, and for thy will those were, and be made of nought.
\c 5
\cl CHAPTER 5
\p
\v 1 And I saw in the right hand of the sitter on the throne, a book written within and without, and sealed with seven seals.
\p
\v 2 And I saw a strong angel, preaching with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to undo the seals of it?
\p
\v 3 And none \add [or no man]\add* in heaven, neither in earth, neither under earth, might open the book, neither behold it.
\p
\v 4 And I wept much, for none \add [or no man]\add* was found worthy to open the book, neither to see it.
\p
\v 5 And one of the elder men said to me, Weep thou not; lo! a lion of the lineage of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome to open the book, and to undo the seven seals of it.
\p
\v 6 And I saw, and lo! in the middle of the throne, and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the elder men, a lamb standing as slain, that had seven horns, and seven eyes, which be \add [the]\add* seven spirits of God, sent into all the earth.
\p
\v 7 And he came, and took of the right hand of the sitter in the throne the book.
\p
\v 8 And when he had opened the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elder men fell down before the lamb; and had each of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which be the prayers of saints.
\p
\v 9 And they sung a new song, and said, Lord our God, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals of it; for thou were slain, and again-boughtest us to God in thy blood, of each lineage, and tongue, and people, and nation;
\p
\v 10 and madest us a kingdom, and priests to our God; and we shall reign on earth.
\p
\v 11 And I saw, and heard the voice of many angels all about the throne, and of the beasts, and of the elder men. And the number of them was thousands of thousands,
\p
\v 12 saying with a great voice, The lamb that was slain, is worthy to take virtue, and Godhead \add [or Divinity]\add*, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
\p
\v 13 And each creature that is in heaven, and \em that is\em* on \add [the]\add* earth, and under earth, and the sea, and which things be in it, I heard all saying, To him that sat in the throne, and to the lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, into worlds of worlds.
\p
\v 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elder men fell down on their faces, and worshipped him that liveth into worlds of worlds.
\c 6
\cl CHAPTER 6
\p
\v 1 And I saw, that the lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four beasts saying, as a voice of thunder, Come thou, and see.
\p
\v 2 And I saw, and lo! a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given to him. And he went out overcoming, that he should overcome.
\p
\v 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast saying, Come thou, and see.
\p
\v 4 And an other red horse went out; and it was given to him that sat on him, that he should take peace from the earth, and that they slay together themselves; and a great sword was given to him.
\p
\v 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast saying, Come thou, and see. And lo! a black horse; and he that sat on him had a balance in his hand.
\p
\v 6 And I heard as a voice in the middle of the four beasts, saying, A bilibre, \em that is, a weight of two pounds\em*, of wheat for a penny, and three bilibres of barley for a penny; and hurt thou not wine, nor oil.
\p
\v 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth beast saying, Come thou, and see.
\p
\v 8 And lo! a pale horse; and the name \em was\em* Death to him that sat on him, and hell pursued him. And power was given to him on four parts of the earth, to slay with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with beasts of the earth.
\p
\v 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of men slain for the word of God, and for the witnessing that they had.
\p
\v 10 And they cried with a great voice, and said, How long thou, Lord, that art holy and true, deemest \add [thou]\add* not, and avengest not our blood of these that dwell in the earth?
\p
\v 11 And white stoles, for each soul a stole, were given to them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet a little time, till the number of their fellows and of their brethren be fulfilled, that be to be slain, as also they \add [were]\add*.
\p
\v 12 And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo! a great earth-moving was made; and the sun was made black, as a sackcloth of hair, and all the moon was made as blood.
\p
\v 13 And the stars of heaven felled down on the earth, as a fig tree sendeth his unripe figs, when it is moved of a great wind.
\p
\v 14 And heaven went away, as a book wrapped in \add [or enfolded]\add*; and all the mountains and isles were moved from their places.
\p
\v 15 And the kings of the earth, and princes, and tribunes, and rich, and strong, and each bondman, and free man, hid them in dens and stones of hills.
\p
\v 16 And they say to hills and to stones, Fall ye on us, and hide ye us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the lamb;
\p
\v 17 for the great day of their wrath cometh, and who shall be able to stand?
\c 7
\cl CHAPTER 7
\p
\v 1 After these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding \add [the]\add* four winds of the earth, that they blew not on the earth, neither on the sea, neither on any tree.
\p
\v 2 And I saw another angel ascending or going up from the rising of the sun, that had a sign of the living God. And he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to which it was given to annoy the earth, and the sea,
\p
\v 3 and said, Do not ye annoy the earth, and the sea, neither \add [to]\add* trees, till we mark the servants of our God in the foreheads of them.
\p
\v 4 And I heard the number of men that were marked, an hundred thousand and four and forty thousand marked, of every lineage of the sons of Israel;
\p
\v 5 of the lineage of Judah, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Reuben, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Gad, twelve thousand marked;
\p
\v 6 of the lineage of Aser, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Nephthalim, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Manasses, twelve thousand marked;
\p
\v 7 of the lineage of Simeon, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Levi, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Issachar, twelve thousand marked;
\p
\v 8 of the lineage of Zebulon, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Joseph, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Benjamin, twelve thousand marked.
\p
\v 9 After these things I saw a great people, whom no man might number, of all folks, and lineages, and peoples, and languages \add [or tongues]\add*, standing before the throne, in the sight of the lamb; \em and they were\em* clothed with white stoles, and palms \em were\em* in the hands of them.
\p
\v 10 And they cried with a great voice, and said, Health to our God, that sitteth on the throne, and to the lamb.
\p
\v 11 And all the angels stood all about the throne, and of the elder men, and the four beasts. And they fell down in the sight of the throne, on their faces, and worshipped God,
\p
\v 12 and said, Amen! blessing, and clearness, and wisdom, and doing of thankings, and honour, and virtue, and strength to our God, into worlds of worlds. Amen.
\p
\v 13 And one of the elder men answered, and said to me, Who be these, that be clothed with white stoles? and from whence came they?
\p
\v 14 And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These be they, that came from great tribulation, and washed their stoles, and made them white in the blood of the lamb.
\p
\v 15 Therefore they be before the throne of God, and serve to him day and night, in his temple. And he that sitteth in the throne, dwelleth on them.
\p
\v 16 They shall no more hunger, neither thirst, neither \add [the]\add* sun shall fall on them, nor any heat.
\p
\v 17 For the lamb, that is in the middle of the throne, shall govern them, and shall lead forth them \add [or lead them forth]\add* to the wells of waters of life; and God shall wipe away each tear from the eyes of them.
\c 8
\cl CHAPTER 8
\p
\v 1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, a silence \add [or silence]\add* was made in heaven, as half an hour.
\p
\v 2 And I saw seven angels standing in the sight of God, and seven trumps were given to them.
\p
\v 3 And another angel came, and stood before the altar, and had a golden censer; and many incenses were given to him, that he should give of the prayers of all saints on the golden altar, that is before the throne of God.
\p
\v 4 And the smoke of the incenses of the prayers of the holy men ascended or went up from the angel’s hand before God.
\p
\v 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it of the fire of the altar, and cast \add [it]\add* into the earth. And thunders, and voices, and lightnings were made, and a great earth-moving.
\p
\v 6 And the seven angels, that had the seven trumps, made them ready, that they should trump.
\p
\v 7 And the first angel trumped; and hail was made, and fire mingled together in blood; and it was sent into the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt, and the third part of trees was burnt, and all the green grass was burnt.
\p
\v 8 And the second angel trumped; and as a great hill burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea was made blood,
\p
\v 9 and the third part of creature was dead, that had lives in the sea, and the third part of \add [the]\add* ships perished.
\p
\v 10 And the third angel trumped; and a great star burning as a little brand, fell from heaven; and it fell into the third part of floods, and into the wells of waters.
\p
\v 11 And the name of the star is said Wormwood. And the third part of waters was made into wormwood; and many men were dead of the waters, for those were made bitter.
\p
\v 12 And the fourth angel trumped; and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of \add [the]\add* stars, so that the third part of them was darked, and the third part of the day shined not, and also of the night.
\p
\v 13 And I saw, and heard the voice of an eagle flying by the middle of heaven, and saying with a great voice, Woe! woe! woe! to men that dwell in earth, of the other voices of the three angels, that shall trump after.
\c 9
\cl CHAPTER 9
\p
\v 1 And the fifth angel trumped; and I saw, that a star had fallen down from heaven into earth; and the key of the pit of deepness was given to it.
\p
\v 2 And it \add [or he]\add* opened the pit of deepness, and a smoke of the pit went up, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun was darked, and the air, of the smoke of the pit.
\p
\v 3 And locusts went out of the smoke of the pit into earth; and power was given to them, as scorpions of the earth have power.
\p
\v 4 And it was commanded to them, that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only men, that have not the sign \add [or the mark]\add* of God in their foreheads.
\p
\v 5 And it was given to them, that they should not slay them, but that they should be tormented five months; and the tormenting of them, as the tormenting of a scorpion, when he smiteth a man.
\p
\v 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and they shall not find it; and they shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
\p
\v 7 And the likeness of locusts \em be\em* like horses made ready into battle; and on the heads of them as crowns like gold, and the faces of them as the faces of men.
\p
\v 8 And they had hairs, as the hairs of women; and the teeth of them were as the teeth of lions.
\p
\v 9 And they had habergeons, as iron habergeons, and the voice of their wings as the voice of chariots of many horses running to battle.
\p
\v 10 And they had tails like scorpions, and pricks were in the tails of them; and the might of them was to annoy men five months.
\p
\v 11 And they had on them a king, the angel of deepness, to whom the name in Hebrew \em is\em* Abaddon, but by Greek Apollyon, and by Latin he hath a name Exterminus, \em that is, Destroyer\em*.
\p
\v 12 One woe is passed, and lo! yet come two woes.
\p
\v 13 After these things also the sixth angel trumped; and I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar, that is before the eyes of God,
\p
\v 14 and said to the sixth angel that had a trump, Unbind thou \add [the]\add* four angels, that be bound in the great flood Euphrates.
\p
\v 15 And the four angels were unbound, which were ready into hour, and day, and month, and year, to slay the third part of men.
\p
\v 16 And the number of the host of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them.
\p
\v 17 And so I saw horses in vision; and they that sat on them had fiery habergeons, and of jacinth, and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as \add [the]\add* heads of lions; and fire, and smoke, and brimstone, cometh forth of the mouth of them.
\p
\v 18 Of these three plagues the third part of men was slain, of the fire, and of the smoke, and of the brimstone, that came out of the mouth of them.
\p
\v 19 For the power of the horses is in the mouth of them, and in the tails of them; for the tails of them \em be\em* like to serpents, having heads, and in them they annoy.
\p
\v 20 And the other men, that were not slain in these plagues, neither did penance of the works of their hands, that they worshipped not devils, and simulacra of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of tree, which neither may see, neither hear, neither wander;
\p
\v 21 and \add [they]\add* did not penance of their manslayings, neither of their witchcrafts, neither of their fornication, neither of their thefts, \em were slain\em*.

\cl CHAPTER 10
\p
\v 1 And I saw another strong angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow on his head; and the face of him was as the sun, and the feet of him as a pillar of fire.
\p
\v 2 And he had in his hand a little book opened; and he set his right foot on the sea, and the left foot on the earth.
\p
\v 3 And he cried with a great voice, as a lion when he roareth; and when he had cried, the seven thunders spake their voices.
\p
\v 4 And when the seven thunders had spoken their voices, I was to write. And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Mark thou what things the seven thunders spake, and do not thou write them.
\p
\v 5 And the angel whom I saw standing above the sea, and above the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,
\p
\v 6 and swore by him that liveth into worlds of worlds, that made of nought heaven, and those things that be in it, and the earth, and those things that be in it, and the sea, and those things that be in it, that time shall no more be.
\p
\v 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to trump, the mystery of God shall be ended \add [or be fulfilled]\add*, as he preached by his servants prophets.
\p
\v 8 And I heard a voice from heaven again speaking with me, and saying, Go thou, and take the book, that is opened, from the hand of the angel, that standeth above the sea, and on the land.
\p
\v 9 And I went to the angel, and said to him, that he should give me the book. And he said to me, Take the book, and devour it; and it shall make thy womb to be bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
\p
\v 10 And I took the book of the angel’s hand, and devoured it, and it was in my mouth as sweet \add [as]\add* honey; and when I had devoured it, my womb was bitter.
\p
\v 11 And he said to me, It behooveth thee again to prophesy to heathen men, and to peoples, and languages \add [or tongues]\add*, and to many kings.
\c 11
\cl CHAPTER 11
\p
\v 1 And a reed like a rod was given to me, and it was said to me, Rise thou, and mete the temple of God, and the altar, and men that worship in it.
\p
\v 2 But cast thou out the foreyard \add [or the porch]\add*, that is without the temple, and mete not it; for it is given to heathen men, and they shall defoul the holy city by forty months and twain.
\p
\v 3 And I shall give to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand days two hundred and sixty, and \add [they]\add* shall be clothed with sackcloths.
\p
\v 4 These be two olives, and two candlesticks, and they stand in the sight of the Lord of the earth.
\p
\v 5 And if any man will annoy them, fire shall go out of the mouth of them, and shall devour their enemies. And if any \add [man]\add* will hurt them, thus it behooveth him to be slain.
\p
\v 6 These have power to close \add [or to shut up]\add* heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and they have power on waters, to turn them into blood; and to smite the earth with every plague, and as oft as they will.
\p
\v 7 And when they shall end their witnessing, the beast that ascendeth or goeth up from deepness \add [or the depth]\add*, shall make battle against them, and shall overcome them, and shall slay them.
\p
\v 8 And the bodies of them shall lie in the streets of the great city, that is called ghostly Sodom, and Egypt, where the Lord of them was crucified.
\p
\v 9 And some of the lineages, and of peoples, and of languages, and of heathen men, shall see the bodies of them by three days and an half; and they shall not suffer the bodies of them to be put in burials.
\p
\v 10 And men inhabiting the earth shall have joy on them; and they shall make merry, and shall send gifts together, for these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.
\p
\v 11 And after three days and an half, the spirit of life of God entered into them; and they stood on their feet, and great dread fell on them that saw.
\p
\v 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them, Come up hither. And they ascended \add [or went up]\add* into heaven in a cloud, and the enemies of them saw them.
\p
\v 13 And in that hour a great earth-moving was made, and the tenth part of the city fell down; and the names of men seven thousand were slain in the earth-moving; and the others were sent into dread, and gave glory to God of heaven.
\p
\v 14 The second woe is gone, and lo! the third woe shall come soon.
\p
\v 15 And the seventh angel trumped, and great voices were made in heaven, and said, The realm of this world is made of our Lord or our Lord’s, and of Christ \add [or Christ’s]\add*, his Son; and he shall reign into worlds of worlds. Amen.
\p
\v 16 And the four and twenty elder men, that sat in their seats in the sight of the Lord, fell on their faces, and worshipped God,
\p
\v 17 and said, We do thankings to thee, Lord God almighty, which art, and which were, and which art to coming \add [or to come]\add*; which hast taken thy great virtue, and hast reigned.
\p
\v 18 And folks be wroth, and thy wrath came, and time of dead men to be deemed, and to yield meed to thy servants, and prophets, and hallows, and dreading thy name, to small and to great, and to destroy them that corrupted the earth.
\p
\v 19 And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple; and lightnings were made, and voices, and thunders, and earth-moving, and great hail.
\c 12
\cl CHAPTER 12
\p
\v 1 And a great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and in the head of her a crown of twelve stars.
\p
\v 2 And she had \add [child]\add* in womb, \add [or being with child]\add*, and she cried, travailing of child, and is tormented, that she bear child.
\p
\v 3 And another sign was seen in heaven; and lo! a great red dragon, that had seven heads, and ten horns, and in the heads of him seven diadems.
\p
\v 4 And the tail of him drew the third part of \add [the]\add* stars of heaven, and sent them into the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, that was to bearing child, that when she had born child, he should devour her child.
\p
\v 5 And she bare a man child, that was to ruling all folks in an iron rod; and her son was ravished to God, and to his throne.
\p
\v 6 And the woman flew into wilderness, where she hath a place made ready of God, that he feed her there a thousand days two hundred and sixty.
\p
\v 7 And a great battle was made in heaven, and Michael and his angels fought with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels;
\p
\v 8 and they had not might, neither the place of them was found more in heaven.
\p
\v 9 And that dragon was cast down, the great old serpent, that is called the Devil, and Satan, that deceiveth all the world; he was cast down into the earth, and his angels were sent with him.
\p
\v 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is made health, and virtue, and kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before the sight of our God day and night.
\p
\v 11 And they overcame him for the blood of the lamb, and for the word of his witnessing; and they loved not their lives \add [or their souls]\add* till to the death.
\p
\v 12 Therefore, ye heavens, be ye glad, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth, and to the sea; for the fiend is come down to you, and hath great wrath, witting that he hath little time.
\p
\v 13 And after that the dragon saw, that he was cast down into the earth, he pursued the woman, that bare the man child.
\p
\v 14 And two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, that she should fly \add [or should flee]\add* into desert, into her place, where she is fed by time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
\p
\v 15 And the serpent sent out of his mouth after the woman water as a flood, that he should make her to be drawn of the flood.
\p
\v 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened his mouth, and sopped up the flood, that the dragon sent \add [out]\add* of his mouth.
\p
\v 17 And the dragon was wroth against the woman, and he went to make battle with others of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and have the witnessing of Jesus Christ.
\p
\v 18 And he stood on the gravel of the sea.
\c 13
\cl CHAPTER 13
\p
\v 1 And I saw a beast going up of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns; and on his horns ten diadems, and on his heads the names \add [or the name]\add* of blasphemy.
\p
\v 2 And the beast whom I saw, was like a \add [leo]\add* pard, and his feet as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave his virtue and great power to him.
\p
\v 3 And I saw one of his heads, as slain into death; and the wound of his death was cured \add [or healed]\add*. And all the earth wondered after the beast.
\p
\v 4 And they worshipped the dragon, that gave power to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, and said, Who is like to the beast, and who shall be able to fight with it?
\p
\v 5 And a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies, was given to it; and power was given to it, to do two and forty months.
\p
\v 6 And it opened his mouth into blasphemies to God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
\p
\v 7 And it was given to him to make battle with saints, and to overcome them; and power was given to him into each lineage, and people, and language, and folk.
\p
\v 8 And all men worshipped it, that dwell in earth, whose names be not written in the book of life of the lamb, that was slain from the beginning of the world.
\p
\v 9 If any man hath ears, hear he.
\p
\v 10 He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity; he that slayeth with sword, it behooveth him to be slain with sword. This is the patience and the faith of saints.
\p
\v 11 And I saw another beast going up from the earth, and it had two horns, like the lamb; and it spake as the dragon,
\p
\v 12 and \add [it]\add* did all the power of the former beast, in his sight. And it made the earth, and men dwelling in it, to worship the first beast, whose wound of death was cured \add [or healed]\add*.
\p
\v 13 And it did great signs, that also it made fire to come down from heaven to the earth, in the sight of all men.
\p
\v 14 And it deceiveth men, that dwell in earth, for signs which be given to it to do in the sight of the beast; saying to men that dwell in earth, that they make an image of the beast, that hath the wound of \add [a]\add* sword, and lived.
\p
\v 15 And it was given to him, that he should give \add [a]\add* spirit to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast speak. And he shall make, that whoever honour not the image of the beast, be slain.
\p
\v 16 And he shall make all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and bondmen, to have a character, \em either mark\em*, in their right hand, either in their foreheads;
\p
\v 17 that no man may buy, either sell, but they have the character, either the name of the beast, either the number of his name.
\p
\v 18 Here is wisdom; he that hath understanding, account the number of the beast; for it is the number of man, and his number is six hundred sixty and six.
\c 14
\cl CHAPTER 14
\p
\v 1 And I saw, and lo! a lamb stood on the mount of Zion \add [or on the mount Zion]\add*, and with him an hundred thousand and four and forty thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father written in their foreheads.
\p
\v 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder; and the voice which I heard, \em was\em* as of many harpers harping in their harps.
\p
\v 3 And they sung as a new song before the seat of God, and before the four beasts, and the elder men. And no man might say the song, but those hundred thousand and four and forty thousand, that be bought from the earth.
\p
\v 4 These it be, that be not defouled with women; for they be virgins. These pursue the lamb, whither ever he shall go; these be bought of all men, the first fruits to God, and to the lamb;
\p
\v 5 and in the mouth of them leasing is not found; for they be without wem before the throne of God.
\p
\v 6 And I saw another angel, flying by the middle of heaven, having an everlasting gospel \add [or the everlasting gospel]\add*, that he should preach \add [or evangelize]\add* to men sitting on the earth, and on each folk, and lineage, and language, and people;
\p
\v 7 and said with a great voice, Dread ye the Lord, and give ye to him honour, for the hour of his doom cometh; and worship ye him, that made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that be in them, and the wells of waters.
\p
\v 8 And another angel pursued, saying, That great \add [city]\add* Babylon fell down, fell down, which gave drink to all folks of the wine of \add [the]\add* wrath of her fornication.
\p
\v 9 And the third angel pursued them, and said with a great voice, If any man worship the beast, and the image of it, and taketh the character in his forehead, either in his hand,
\p
\v 10 this shall drink of the wine of God’s wrath, that is mingled with clear wine in the cup of his wrath, and \add [he]\add* shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the sight of \add [the]\add* holy angels, and before the sight of the lamb.
\p
\v 11 And the smoke of their torments shall ascend or go up into the worlds of worlds; neither they have rest day and night, which worship the beast and his image, and if any take the character of his name.
\p
\v 12 Here is the patience of saints, which keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
\p
\v 13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me, Write thou, Blessed \em be\em* dead men, that die in the Lord; from henceforth now the Spirit saith, that they rest of their travails; for the works of them pursue them.
\p
\v 14 And I saw, and lo! a white cloud, and above the cloud a sitter \add [or one sitting]\add*, like the son of man, having in his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
\p
\v 15 And another angel went out of the temple, and cried with great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send thy sickle, and reap, for the hour cometh, that it be reaped; for the corn of the earth is ripe.
\p
\v 16 And he that sat on the cloud, sent his sickle into the earth, and reaped the earth.
\p
\v 17 And another angel went out of the temple, that is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.
\p
\v 18 And another angel went out from the altar, that had power on fire; and he cried with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, and said, Send thy sharp sickle, and cut away \add [or cut off]\add* the clusters of the vineyard of the earth, for the grapes of it be ripe.
\p
\v 19 And the angel sent his sickle into the earth, and gathered grapes of the vineyard of the earth, and sent into the great pit of God’s wrath.
\p
\v 20 And the pit was trodden without the city, and the blood went out of the pit, till to the horses’ bridles, by furlongs a thousand and six hundred.
\c 15
\cl CHAPTER 15
\p
\v 1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful; seven angels having the seven last vengeances \add [or plagues]\add*, for the wrath of God is ended in them.
\p
\v 2 And I saw as a glassen sea mingled with fire, and them that overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing above the glassen sea, having the harps of God;
\p
\v 3 and singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, and said, Great and wonderful be thy works, Lord God almighty; thy ways be just and true, Lord, king of worlds.
\p
\v 4 Lord, who shall not dread thee, and magnify thy name? for thou alone art merciful \add [or pious]\add*; for all folks shall come, and worship in thy sight, for thy dooms be open.
\p
\v 5 And after these things I saw, and lo! the temple of the tabernacle of witnessing was opened in heaven;
\p
\v 6 and seven angels having \add [the]\add* seven plagues, went out of the temple, and were clothed with a stole clean and white, and were before-girded with golden girdles about the breasts.
\p
\v 7 And one of the four beasts gave to the seven angels seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, that liveth into worlds of worlds.
\p
\v 8 And the temple was filled with smoke of the majesty of God, and of the virtue of him; and no man might enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were ended.
\c 16
\cl CHAPTER 16
\p
\v 1 And I heard a great voice from heaven, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and shed out the seven vials of God’s wrath into the earth.
\p
\v 2 And the first angel went, and shedded out his vial into the earth; and a wound fierce and worst was made on all that had the character \add [or the mark]\add* of the beast, and on them that worshipped the beast, and his image.
\p
\v 3 And the second angel shedded out his vial into the sea, and the blood was made, as of a dead thing; and each man living was dead in the sea.
\p
\v 4 And the third angel shedded out his vial on the floods, and on the wells of waters, \add [and blood is made]\add*,
\p
\v 5 and said \add [or and I heard the angel of waters saying]\add*, Just art thou, Lord, that art, and that were holy, that deemest these things;
\p
\v 6 for they shedded out the blood of hallows, and prophets, and thou hast given to them blood to drink; for they be worthy.
\p
\v 7 And I heard another \add [angel]\add* saying, Yea! Lord God almighty, true and just \em be\em* thy dooms.
\p
\v 8 And the fourth angel shedded out his vial into the sun, and it was given to him to torment men with heat and fire.
\p
\v 9 And men sweltered with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God having power on these plagues, neither they did penance, that they should give glory to him.
\p
\v 10 And the fifth angel shedded out his vial on the seat of the beast, and his kingdom was made dark; and they ate together their tongues for sorrow,
\p
\v 11 and they blasphemed God of heaven, for sorrows of their wounds \add [or for sorrows and their wounds]\add*; and they did not penance of their works.
\p
\v 12 And the sixth angel shedded out his vial into that great flood Euphrates, and dried the water of it, that \add [the]\add* way were made ready to kings from the sun rising.
\p
\v 13 And I saw three unclean spirits by the manner of frogs go out of the mouth of the dragon, and of the mouth of the beast, and of the mouth of the false prophet.
\p
\v 14 For they be spirits of devils, making signs, \add [or wonders]\add*, and they go forth to kings of all earth, to gather them into \add [a]\add* battle, to the great day of almighty God.
\p
\v 15 Lo! I come, as a night thief. Blessed \em is\em* he that waketh, and keepeth his clothes, that he wander not naked, and that they see not the filthhood of him.
\p
\v 16 And he shall gather them \add [or And he gathered them]\add* into a place, that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
\p
\v 17 And the seventh angel shedded out his vial into the air, and a great voice went out of heaven from the throne, and said, It is done.
\p
\v 18 And lightnings were made, and voices, and thunders; and a great earth-moving was made, which manner never was, since men were on earth, such earth-moving so great.
\p
\v 19 And the great city was made \add [or was broken]\add* into three parts, and the cities of heathen men felled down; and great Babylon came into mind before God, to give to it the cup of wine of the indignation of his wrath.
\p
\v 20 And each isle flew away, and hills be not found.
\p
\v 21 And a great hail as a talent came down from heaven into men; and men blasphemed God, for the plague of hail, for it was made full great.
\c 17
\cl CHAPTER 17
\p
\v 1 And one of the seven angels came, that had seven vials, and spake with me, and said, Come thou, I shall show to thee the damnation of the great whore, that sitteth on many waters,
\p
\v 2 with which kings of the earth did fornication; and they that dwell in the earth be made drunk of the wine of her lechery.
\p
\v 3 And he took me \add [away]\add* into desert in Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a red beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.
\p
\v 4 And the woman was environed with purple, and red, and over-gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and uncleanness of her fornication.
\p
\v 5 And a name written in the forehead of her, Mystery, Babylon the great, mother of fornications, and of abominations of the earth.
\p
\v 6 And I saw a woman drunken of the blood of saints, and of the blood of martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great wondering.
\p
\v 7 And the angel said to me, Why wonderest thou? I shall say to thee the sacrament, \em that is, privy signification\em*, of the woman, and of the beast that beareth her, that hath seven heads and ten horns.
\p
\v 8 The beast which thou seest \add [or thou sawest]\add*, was, and is not; and she shall ascend or go up from \add [the]\add* deepness, and she shall go into perishing. And men dwelling in earth shall wonder, whose names be not written in the book of life from the making of the world, seeing the beast, that was, and is not.
\p
\v 9 And this is the wit, who that hath wisdom. The seven heads be seven hills, on which the woman sitteth,
\p
\v 10 and kings seven be \add [or and be seven kings]\add*. Five have felled down, and one is, and another cometh not yet. And when he shall come, it behooveth him to dwell a short time.
\p
\v 11 And the beast that was, and is not, and she is the eighth, and is of the seven, and shall go into perishing.
\p
\v 12 And the ten horns which thou hast seen, be ten kings, that yet have not taken kingdom; but they shall take power as kings, one hour after the beast.
\p
\v 13 These have one counsel, and shall betake their virtue and power to the beast.
\p
\v 14 These shall fight with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome them; for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that be with him, \em be\em* called, \add [and]\add* chosen, and faithful.
\p
\v 15 And he said to me, The waters which thou hast seen, where the whore sitteth, be peoples, and folks, and languages.
\p
\v 16 And the ten horns that thou hast seen in the beast, these shall \add [hate the fornicary woman, or whore, and shall]\add* make her desolate and naked, and shall eat the fleshes of her, and shall burn altogether her with fire \add [or shall burn her altogether with fire]\add*.
\p
\v 17 For God gave into the hearts of them, that they do that that is pleasant to him \add [or before him]\add*, that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be ended.
\p
\v 18 And the woman whom thou hast seen, is the great city, that hath kingdom on the kings of the earth.
\c 18
\cl CHAPTER 18
\p
\v 1 And after these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened \add [or lighted]\add* of his glory.
\p
\v 2 And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Great Babylon felled down, felled down, and is made the habitation of devils, and the keeping of each unclean spirit, and the keeping of each unclean fowl, and hateful.
\p
\v 3 For all folks drunk of the wrath of the fornication of her, and kings of the earth, and merchants of the earth, did fornication with her; and they be made rich of the virtue of \add [the]\add* delights of her.
\p
\v 4 And I heard another voice of heaven, saying, My people, go ye out of it, and be ye not partners of the trespasses of it, and ye shall not receive of the wounds \add [or the plagues]\add* of it.
\p
\v 5 For the sins of it came unto heaven, and the Lord had mind of the wickedness of it.
\p
\v 6 Yield ye to it, as she yielded to you; and double ye double things, after her works; in the drink that she meddled to you, meddle or mingle ye double to her.
\p
\v 7 As much as she glorified herself, and was in delights, so much torment give ye to her, and wailing, \add [or weeping, or mourning]\add*; for in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow, and I shall not see wailing, \add [or weeping, or mourning]\add*.
\p
\v 8 And therefore in one day her wounds \add [or her plagues]\add* shall come, death, and mourning, and hunger; and she shall be burnt in fire, for God is strong, that shall deem her.
\p
\v 9 And the kings of the earth shall beweep, and bewail themselves on her, which did fornication with her, and lived in delights, when they shall see the smoke of the burning of it;
\p
\v 10 standing afar, for dread of the torments of it, saying, Woe! woe! that great city Babylon, and that strong city; for in one hour thy doom cometh.
\p
\v 11 And merchants of the earth shall weep on it, and mourn, for no man shall buy more the merchandise of them;
\p
\v 12 the merchandise of gold, and of silver, and of precious stone, and of pearl, and of bis, and of purple, and of silk, and of cotton, and of each tree thyine, and all vessels of ivory, and all vessels of precious stone, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble.
\p
\v 13 and of cinnamon, and of sweet smelling things, and ointments, and of incense, and of wine, and of oil, and of flour, and of wheat, and of work beasts, and of sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of servants, and of other lives of men.
\p
\v 14 And thine apples of the desire of thy life, \add [or thine apples, the desires of thy life]\add*, went away from thee, and all fatted things, and full clear perished from thee.
\p
\v 15 And merchants of these things shall no more find those things \add [or these goods]\add*. They that be made rich of it, shall stand \add [a]\add* far, for dread of torments of it, weeping, and mourning,
\p
\v 16 and saying, Woe! woe! that great city, that was clothed with bis, and purple, and red scarlet, and was over-gilded with gold, and precious stone, and margarites,
\p
\v 17 for in one hour so many riches be destitute, \em either done away\em*. And each governor, and all that sail by ship into place, and mariners, and they that work in the sea, stood far,
\p
\v 18 and cried, seeing the place of the burning of it, saying, What \add [city]\add*\em is\em* like this great city?
\p
\v 19 And they cast powder on their heads, and cried, weeping, and mourning, and saying, Woe! woe! that great city, in which all that have ships in the sea be made rich of the prices of it; for in one hour it is desolate.
\p
\v 20 Heaven, and holy apostles, and prophets, make ye full out joy on it, for God hath deemed your doom on it.
\p
\v 21 And one strong angel took up a stone, as a great millstone, and cast into the sea, and said, In this force \add [or this fierceness]\add* that great city Babylon shall be sent, and now it shall no more be found.
\p
\v 22 And the voice of harps, and of men of music, and singing with pipe and trump, shall no more be heard in it. And each craftsman, and each craft, shall no more be found in it. And the voice of a millstone shall no more be heard in thee,
\p
\v 23 and the light of \add [the]\add* lantern shall no more shine in thee, and the voice of the husband and of the wife shall no more be heard in thee; for thy merchants were princes of the earth. For in thy witchcrafts all folks erred.
\p
\v 24 And the blood of prophets and of saints is found in it, and of all men that be slain in earth.
\c 19
\cl CHAPTER 19
\p
\v 1 After these things I heard as a great voice of many trumps in heaven, saying, Alleluia; praising, and glory, and virtue is to our God;
\p
\v 2 for true and just be the dooms of him, which deemed the great whore, that defouled \add [or corrupted]\add* the earth in her lechery, and avenged the blood of his servants, of the hands of her.
\p
\v 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And the smoke of it goeth up, into the worlds of worlds.
\p
\v 4 And the four and twenty elder men and the four beasts felled down, and worshipped God sitting on the throne, and said, Amen, Alleluia.
\p
\v 5 And a voice went out of the throne, and said, All the servants of our God, say ye praisings to our God, and ye that dread God, small and great.
\p
\v 6 And I heard a voice \add [as]\add* of a great trump, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying, Alleluia; for our Lord God almighty hath reigned.
\p
\v 7 Joy we, and make we mirth, \add [or Joy we withinforth, and glad we withoutforth]\add*, and give glory to him; for the weddings of the lamb came, and the wife of him made ready herself.
\p
\v 8 And it was given to her, that she cover her\add [self]\add* with white bissyn shining; for why bissyn is the justifyings of saints.
\p
\v 9 And he said to me, Write thou, Blessed \em be\em* they that be called to the supper of the weddings of the lamb. And he said to me, These words of God be true.
\p
\v 10 And I felled down before his feet, to worship him. And he said to me, See thou, that thou do not; I am a servant with thee, and of thy brethren, having the witnessing of Jesus; worship thou God. For the witnessing of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
\p
\v 11 And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse, and he that sat on him was called Faithful and soothfast; and with rightwiseness he deemeth, and fighteth.
\p
\v 12 And his eyes were as flame of fire, and in his head many diadems; and he had a name written, which no man knew, but he.
\p
\v 13 And he was clothed in a cloth sprinkled with blood; and the name of him was called The Son of God \add [or The Word of God]\add*.
\p
\v 14 And the hosts that be in heaven, pursued him on white horses, clothed with bissyn, white and clean.
\p
\v 15 And a sword sharp on either side \add [or on each side]\add* came forth of his mouth, that with it he smite folks; and he shall rule them with an iron rod. And he treadeth the presser of wine of strong vengeance of the wrath of almighty God.
\p
\v 16 And he hath written in his cloth, and in the hip \add [or in his hem]\add*, King of kings and Lord of lords.
\p
\v 17 And I saw an angel, standing in the sun; and he cried with a great voice, and said to all birds that flew by the middle of heaven, Come ye, and be ye gathered \add [together]\add* to the great supper of God,
\p
\v 18 that ye eat the flesh of kings, and \add [the]\add* flesh of tribunes, and \add [the]\add* flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of those that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and of bondmen, and of small and of great.
\p
\v 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and the hosts of them gathered, to make battle with him, that sat on the horse, and with his host.
\p
\v 20 And the beast was caught, and with her the false prophet, that made signs before her; in which he deceived them that took the character \add [or the mark]\add* of the beast, and that worshipped the image of it. These two were sent quick into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.
\p
\v 21 And the others were slain with the sword of him that sat on the horse, that cometh forth of the mouth of him; and all birds were \add [full]\add*-filled with the flesh of them.
\c 20
\cl CHAPTER 20
\p
\v 1 And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of deepness, and a great chain in his hand.
\p
\v 2 And he caught the dragon, the old serpent, that is the Devil and Satan; and he bound him by a thousand years.
\p
\v 3 And he sent him into deepness, and enclosed, and marked \add [or sealed]\add* on him, that he deceive no more the folks, till a thousand years be \add [ful]\add*-filled. After these things it behooveth him to be unbound a little time.
\p
\v 4 And I saw seats, and they sat on them, and doom was given to them. And the souls of men beheaded for the witnessing of Jesus, and for the word of God, and them that worshipped not the beast, neither the image of it, neither took the character of it in their foreheads, neither in their hands. And they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
\p
\v 5 And others of dead men lived not, till a thousand years were ended. This is the first again-rising.
\p
\v 6 Blessed and holy \em is\em* he, that hath part in the first again-rising. In these men the second death hath not power \add [or no power]\add*; but they shall be priests of God, and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.
\p
\v 7 And when a thousand years shall be ended, Satan shall be unbound of his prison;
\p
\v 8 and he shall go out, and shall deceive folks, that be on four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog. And he shall gather them \add [together]\add* into battle, whose number is as the gravel of the sea.
\p
\v 9 And they went up on the broadness of the earth, and environed the castles of saints, and the loved city. And fire came down of God from heaven, and devoured them.
\p
\v 10 And the devil, that deceived them, was sent into the pool of fire and brimstone, where both the beast and false prophets shall be tormented day and night, into worlds of worlds. Amen.
\p
\v 11 And I saw a great white throne, and one sitting on it, from whose sight earth fled \add [or flew away]\add*, and heaven; and the place is not found of them.
\p
\v 12 And I saw dead men, great and small, standing in the sight of the throne; and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and dead men were deemed of these things that were written in the books, after the works of them.
\p
\v 13 And the sea gave his dead men, that were in it; and death and hell gave their dead, that were in them. And it was deemed of each, after the works of them.
\p
\v 14 And hell and death were sent into the pool of fire. This is the second death.
\p
\v 15 And he that was not found written in the book of life, was sent into the pool of fire.
\c 21
\cl CHAPTER 21
\p
\v 1 And I saw new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth went away, and the sea is not now.
\p
\v 2 And I, John, saw the holy city Jerusalem, new, coming down from heaven, made ready of God, as a wife adorned to her husband.
\p
\v 3 And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying, Lo! the tabernacle of God \em is\em* with men, and he shall dwell with them; and they shall be his people, and he God with them shall be their God.
\p
\v 4 And God shall wipe away each tear from the eyes of them; and death shall no more be, neither mourning, neither crying, neither sorrow, shall be over; which first things went away.
\p
\v 5 And he said, that sat in the throne, Lo! I make all things new. And he said to me, Write thou, for these words be most faithful and true.
\p
\v 6 And he said to me, It is done; I am alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. I shall give freely of the well of quick water to him that thirsteth.
\p
\v 7 He that shall overcome, shall wield these things; and I shall be God to him, and he shall be son to me.
\p
\v 8 But to fearedful men, and unbelieveful, and cursed, and man-quellers, and fornicators, and to witches, and to worshippers of idols, and to all liars, the part of them shall be in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, that is the second death.
\p
\v 9 And one came of the seven angels, having vials full of the seven last vengeances \add [or the seven last plagues]\add*. And he spake with me, and said, Come thou, and I shall show to thee the spousess, the wife of the lamb.
\p
\v 10 And he took me up in Spirit into a great hill and high; and he showed to me the holy city of Jerusalem, coming down from heaven of God,
\p
\v 11 having the clarity of God; and the light of it like \add [to]\add* a precious stone, as the stone jasper, as crystal.
\p
\v 12 And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates of it twelve angels, and names written in, that be the names of \add [the]\add* twelve lineages of the sons of Israel;
\p
\v 13 from the east three gates, and from the north three gates, and from the south three gates, and from the west three gates.
\p
\v 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundaments, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles, and of the lamb.
\p
\v 15 And he that spake with me, had a golden measure of a reed, that he should mete the city, and the gates of it, and the wall.
\p
\v 16 And the city was set in square; and the length of it is so much, as much as \em is\em* the breadth. And he meted the city with the reed, by furlongs twelve thousands. And the height, and the length and the breadth of it, be even.
\p
\v 17 And he meted the walls of it, of an hundred and forty and four cubits, by measure of man, that is, of the angel.
\p
\v 18 And the building of the wall thereof was of the stone jasper. And the city itself was clean gold, like \add [to]\add* clean glass.
\p
\v 19 And the foundaments of the wall of the city \em were\em* adorned with all precious stone. The first foundament, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
\p
\v 20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
\p
\v 21 And the twelve gates be twelve margarites, by each; and each gate was of each margarite. And the streets of the city \em were\em* clean gold, as of glass full shining.
\p
\v 22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God almighty and the lamb, is the temple of it.
\p
\v 23 And the city hath no need of the sun, neither moon, that they shine in it; for the clarity of God shall lighten \add [or shall light]\add* it; and the lamb is the lantern of it.
\p
\v 24 And folks shall walk in the light of it; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.
\p
\v 25 And the gates of it shall not be closed by day; and night shall not be there.
\p
\v 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of folks into it.
\p
\v 27 Neither any man \add [or anything]\add* defouled, and doing abomination and leasing, shall enter into it; but they that be written in the book of life of the lamb.
\c 22
\cl CHAPTER 22
\p
\v 1 And he showed to me a flood of quick water, shining as crystal, coming forth of the seat of God, and of the lamb,
\p
\v 2 in the middle of the street of it. And on each side of the flood, the tree of life, bringing forth twelve fruits, yielding his fruit by each month; and the leaves of the tree \em be\em* to health of folks.
\p
\v 3 And each cursed thing shall no more be; but the seats of God and of the lamb shall be in it. And the servants of him shall serve him.
\p
\v 4 And they shall see his face, and his name \add [shall be]\add* in their foreheads.
\p
\v 5 And night shall no more be, and they shall not have need to the light of a lantern, neither to light of the sun; for the Lord God shall lighten \add [or shall light]\add* them, and they shall reign into worlds of worlds.
\p
\v 6 And he said to me, These words be most faithful and true. And the Lord God of spirits of prophets sent his angel, to show to his servants, what things it behooveth to be done soon.
\p
\v 7 And lo! I come swiftly. Blessed \em is\em* he, that keepeth the words of prophecy of this book.
\p
\v 8 And I \em am\em* John, that heard and saw these things. And after that I had heard and seen, I felled down, to worship before the feet of the angel, that showed to me these things.
\p
\v 9 And he said to me, See thou, that thou do not; for I am a servant with thee, and of thy brethren, prophets, and of them that keep the words of prophecy of this book; worship thou God.
\p
\v 10 And he said to me, Sign, \em or seal\em*, thou not the words of prophecy of this book; for the time is nigh.
\p
\v 11 He that annoyeth, annoy he yet; and he that is in filths, wax he foul yet; and a just man, be \add [he]\add* justified yet; and the holy, be \add [he]\add* hallowed yet.
\p
\v 12 Lo! I come soon, and my meed with me, to yield to each man after his works.
\p
\v 13 I am alpha and omega, the first and the last, beginning and end.
\p
\v 14 Blessed \em be\em* they, that wash their stoles, that the power of them be in the tree of life, and enter by the gates into the city.
\p
\v 15 For withoutforth \add [shall be shut]\add* hounds, and witches, and unchaste men, and man-quellers, and serving to idols, and each that loveth and maketh leasing \em or lies\em*.
\p
\v 16 I Jesus sent mine angel, to witness to you these things in churches. I am the root and kin of David, and the shining morrow star.
\p
\v 17 And the Spirit and the spousess \add [or the wife]\add* say, Come thou. And he that heareth, say, Come thou; and he that thirsteth, come; and he that will, take he freely the water of life.
\p
\v 18 And I witness to each man hearing the words of prophecy of this book, if any man shall put to these things, God shall put on him the vengeances \add [or the plagues]\add* written in this book.
\p
\v 19 And if any man \add [shall]\add* do away of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away the part of him from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from these things that be written in this book.
\p
\v 20 He saith, that beareth witnessing of these things, Yea, Amen. \add [Lo!]\add* I come soon. Amen. Come thou, Lord Jesus.
\p
\v 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ \em be\em* with you all. Amen.
