Blessed [ is ] he that reads , and they that hear the words of the prophecy , and keep the things written in it ; for the time [ is ] near . John to the seven assemblies which [ are ] in Asia : Grace to you and peace from [ him ] who is , and who was , and who is to come ; and from the seven Spirits which [ are ] before his throne ; and from Jesus Christ , the faithful witness , the firstborn from the dead , and the prince of the kings of the earth . To him who loves us , and has washed us from our sins in his blood , and made us a kingdom , priests to his God and Father : to him [ be ] the glory and the might to the ages of ages . Amen . Behold , he comes with the clouds , and every eye shall see him , and they which have pierced him , and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him . Yea . Amen . I am the Alpha and the Omega , saith [ the ] Lord God , he who is , and who was , and who is to come , the Almighty . I John , your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience , in Jesus , was in the island called Patmos , for the word of God , and for the testimony of Jesus . I became in [ the ] Spirit on the Lord&#039;s day , and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet , saying , What thou seest write in a book , and send to the seven assemblies : to Ephesus , and to Smyrna , and to Pergamos , and to Thyatira , and to Sardis , and to Philadelphia , and to Laodicea . And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me ; and having turned , I saw seven golden lamps , and in the midst of the [ seven ] lamps [ one ] like [ the ] Son of man , clothed with a garment reaching to the feet , and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle : his head and hair white like white wool , as snow ; and his eyes as a flame of fire ; and his feet like fine brass , as burning in a furnace ; and his voice as the voice of many waters ; and having in his right hand seven stars ; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth ; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power . And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead ; and he laid his right hand upon me , saying , Fear not ; * I * am the first and the last , and the living one : and I became dead , and behold , I am living to the ages of ages , and have the keys of death and of hades . Write therefore what thou hast seen , and the things that are , and the things that are about to be after these . The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand , and the seven golden lamps . -- The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies ; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies . To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write : These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand , who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps : I know thy works and [ thy ] labour , and thine endurance , and that thou canst not bear evil [ men ] ; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [ are ] apostles and are not , and hast found them liars ; and endurest , and hast borne for my name&#039;s sake , and hast not wearied : but I have against thee , that thou hast left thy first love . Remember therefore whence thou art fallen , and repent , and do the first works : but if not , I am coming to thee , and I will remove thy lamp out of its place , except thou shalt repent . But this thou hast , that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes , which * I * also hate . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . To him that overcomes , I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God . And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write : These things says the first and the last , who became dead , and lived : I know thy tribulation and thy poverty ; but thou art rich ; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews , and are not , but a synagogue of Satan . Fear nothing [ of ] what thou art about to suffer . Behold , the devil is about to cast of you into prison , that ye may be tried ; and ye shall have tribulation ten days . Be thou faithful unto death , and I will give to thee the crown of life . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death . And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write : These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword : I know where thou dwellest , where the throne of Satan [ is ] ; and thou holdest fast my name , and hast not denied my faith , even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [ was ] , who was slain among you , where Satan dwells . But I have a few things against thee : that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam , who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel , to eat [ of ] idol sacrifices and commit fornication . So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner . Repent therefore : but if not , I come to thee quickly , and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . To him that overcomes , to him will I give of the hidden manna ; and I will give to him a white stone , and on the stone a new name written , which no one knows but he that receives [ it ] . And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write : These things says the Son of God , he that has his eyes as a flame of fire , and his feet [ are ] like fine brass : I know thy works , and love , and faith , and service , and thine endurance , and thy last works [ to be ] more than the first . But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel , she who calls herself prophetess , and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices . And I gave her time that she should repent , and she will not repent of her fornication . Behold , I cast her into a bed , and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation , unless they repent of her works , and her children will I kill with death ; and all the assemblies shall know that * I * am he that searches [ the ] reins and [ the ] hearts ; and I will give to you each according to your works . But to you I say , the rest who [ are ] in Thyatira , as many as have not this doctrine , who have not known the depths of Satan , as they say , I do not cast upon you any other burden ; but what ye have hold fast till I shall come . And he that overcomes , and he that keeps unto the end my works , to him will I give authority over the nations , and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod ; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces , as I also have received from my Father ; and I will give to him the morning star . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write : These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God , and the seven stars : I know thy works , that thou hast a name that thou livest , and art dead . Be watchful , and strengthen the things that remain , which are about to die , for I have not found thy works complete before my God . Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard , and keep [ it ] and repent . If therefore thou shalt not watch , I will come [ upon thee ] as a thief , and thou shalt not know at what hour I shall come upon thee . But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments , and they shall walk with me in white , because they are worthy . He that overcomes , * he * shall be clothed in white garments , and I will not blot his name out of the book of life , and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write : These things saith the holy , the true ; he that has the key of David , he who opens and no one shall shut , and shuts and no one shall open : I know thy works : behold , I have set before thee an opened door , which no one can shut , because thou hast a little power , and hast kept my word , and hast not denied my name . Behold , I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews , and are not , but lie ; behold , I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet , and shall know that * I * have loved thee . Because thou hast kept the word of my patience , * I * also will keep thee out of the hour of trial , which is about to come upon the whole habitable world , to try them that dwell upon the earth . I come quickly : hold fast what thou hast , that no one take thy crown . He that overcomes , him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God , and he shall go no more at all out ; and I will write upon him the name of my God , and the name of the city of my God , the new Jerusalem , which comes down out of heaven , from my God , and my new name . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write : These things says the Amen , the faithful and true witness , the beginning of the creation of God : I know thy works , that thou art neither cold nor hot ; I would thou wert cold or hot . Thus because thou art lukewarm , and neither cold nor hot , I am about to spue thee out of my mouth . Because thou sayest , I am rich , and am grown rich , and have need of nothing , and knowest not that * thou * art the wretched and the miserable , and poor , and blind , and naked ; I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire , that thou mayest be rich ; and white garments , that thou mayest be clothed , and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest ; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes , that thou mayest see . I rebuke and discipline as many as I love ; be zealous therefore and repent . Behold , I stand at the door and am knocking ; if any one hear my voice and open the door , I will come in unto him and sup with him , and he with me . He that overcomes , to him will I give to sit with me in my throne ; as * I * also have overcome , and have sat down with my Father in his throne . He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . After these things I saw , and behold , a door opened in heaven , and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me , saying , Come up here , and I will shew thee the things which must take place after these things . Immediately I became in [ the ] Spirit ; and behold , a throne stood in the heaven , and upon the throne one sitting , and he [ that was ] sitting like in appearance to a stone [ of ] jasper and a sardius , and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald . And round the throne twenty-four thrones , and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting , clothed with white garments ; and on their heads golden crowns . And out of the throne go forth lightnings , and voices , and thunders ; and seven lamps of fire , burning before the throne , which are the seven Spirits of God ; and before the throne , as a glass sea , like crystal . And in the midst of the throne , and around the throne , four living creatures , full of eyes , before and behind ; and the first living creature like a lion , and the second living creature like a calf , and the third living creature having the face as of a man , and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle . And the four living creatures , each one of them having respectively six wings ; round and within they are full of eyes ; and they cease not day and night saying , Holy , holy , holy , Lord God Almighty , who was , and who is , and who is to come . And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne , who lives to the ages of ages , the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon the throne , and do homage to him that lives to the ages of ages ; and shall cast their crowns before the throne , saying , Thou art worthy , O our Lord and [ our ] God , to receive glory and honour and power ; for * thou * hast created all things , and for thy will they were , and they have been created . And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book , written within and on the back , sealed with seven seals . And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice , Who [ is ] worthy to open the book , and to break its seals ? And no one was able in the heaven , or upon the earth , or underneath the earth , to open the book , or to regard it . And * I * wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it . And one of the elders says to me , Do not weep . Behold , the lion which [ is ] of the tribe of Juda , the root of David , has overcome [ so as ] to open the book , and its seven seals . And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures , and in the midst of the elders , a Lamb standing , as slain , having seven horns and seven eyes , which are the seven Spirits of God [ which are ] sent into all the earth : and it came and took [ it ] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne . And when it took the book , the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb , having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses , which are the prayers of the saints . And they sing a new song , saying , Thou art worthy to take the book , and to open its seals ; because thou hast been slain , and hast redeemed to God , by thy blood , out of every tribe , and tongue , and people , and nation , and made them to our God kings and priests ; and they shall reign over the earth . And I saw , and I heard [ the ] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders ; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands ; saying with a loud voice , Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain , to receive power , and riches , and wisdom , and strength , and honour , and glory , and blessing . And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth , and [ those that are ] upon the sea , and all things in them , heard I saying , To him that sits upon the throne , and to the Lamb , blessing , and honour , and glory , and might , to the ages of ages . And the four living creatures said , Amen ; and the elders fell down and did homage . And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals , and I heard one of the four living creatures saying , as a voice of thunder , Come [ and see ] . And I saw : and behold , a white horse , and he that sat upon it having a bow ; and a crown was given to him , and he went forth conquering and that he might conquer . And when it opened the second seal , I heard the second living creature saying , Come [ and see ] . And another , a red horse , went forth ; and to him that sat upon it , to him it was given to take peace from the earth , and that they should slay one another ; and there was given to him a great sword . And when it opened the third seal , I heard the third living creature saying , Come [ and see ] . And I saw : and behold , a black horse , and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand . And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying , A choenix of wheat for a denarius , and three choenixes of barley for a denarius : and do not injure the oil and the wine . And when it opened the fourth seal , I heard [ the voice of ] the fourth living creature saying , Come [ and see ] . And I saw : and behold , a pale horse , and he that sat upon it , his name [ was ] Death , and hades followed with him ; and authority was given to him over the fourth of the earth to slay with sword , and with hunger , and with death , and by the beasts of the earth . And when it opened the fifth seal , I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God , and for the testimony which they held ; and they cried with a loud voice , saying , How long , O sovereign Ruler , holy and true , dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth ? And there was given to them , to each one a white robe ; and it was said to them that they should rest yet a little while , until both their fellow-bondmen and their brethren , who were about to be killed as they , should be fulfilled . And I saw when it opened the sixth seal , and there was a great earthquake ; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth , and the whole moon became as blood , and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth , as a fig tree , shaken by a great wind , casts its unseasonable figs . And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up , and every mountain and island were removed out of their places . And the kings of the earth , and the great , and the chiliarchs , and the rich , and the strong , and every bondman and freeman , hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains ; and they say to the mountains and to the rocks , Fall on us , and have us hidden from [ the ] face of him that sits upon the throne , and from the wrath of the Lamb ; because the great day of his wrath is come , and who is able to stand ? And after this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth , holding fast the four winds of the earth , that no wind might blow upon the earth , nor upon the sea , nor upon any tree . And I saw another angel ascending from [ the ] sunrising , having [ the ] seal of [ the ] living God ; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to hurt the earth and the sea , saying , Hurt not the earth , nor the sea , nor the trees , until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon their foreheads . And I heard the number of the sealed , a hundred [ and ] forty-four thousand , sealed out of every tribe of [ the ] sons of Israel : out of [ the ] tribe of Juda , twelve thousand sealed ; out of [ the ] tribe of Reuben , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Gad , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Aser , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Nepthalim , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Manasseh , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Simeon , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Levi , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Issachar , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Zabulun , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Joseph , twelve thousand ; out of [ the ] tribe of Benjamin , twelve thousand sealed . After these things I saw , and lo , a great crowd , which no one could number , out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues , standing before the throne , and before the Lamb , clothed with white robes , and palm branches in their hands . And they cry with a loud voice , saying , Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne , and to the Lamb . And all the angels stood around the throne , and the elders , and the four living creatures , and fell before the throne upon their faces , and worshipped God , saying , Amen : Blessing , and glory , and wisdom , and thanksgiving , and honour , and power , and strength , to our God , to the ages of ages . Amen . And one of the elders answered , saying to me , These who are clothed with white robes , who are they , and whence came they ? And I said to him , My lord , * thou * knowest . And he said to me , These are they who come out of the great tribulation , and have washed their robes , and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb . Therefore are they before the throne of God , and serve him day and night in his temple , and he that sits upon the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them . They shall not hunger any more , neither shall they thirst any more , nor shall the sun at all fall on them , nor any burning heat ; because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them , and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life , and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes . And when it opened the seventh seal , there was silence in the heaven about half an hour . And I saw the seven angels who stand before God , and seven trumpets were given to them . And another angel came and stood at the altar , having a golden censer ; and much incense was given to him , that he might give [ efficacy ] to the prayers of all saints at the golden altar which [ was ] before the throne . And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints , out of the hand of the angel before God . And the angel took the censer , and filled it from the fire of the altar , and cast [ it ] on the earth : and there were voices , and thunders and lightnings , and an earthquake . And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound with [ their ] trumpets . And the first sounded [ his ] trumpet : and there was hail and fire , mingled with blood , and they were cast upon the earth ; and the third part of the earth was burnt up , and the third part of the trees was burnt up , and all green grass was burnt up . And the second angel sounded [ his ] trumpet : and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea , and the third part of the sea became blood ; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea which had life died ; and the third part of the ships were destroyed . And the third angel sounded [ his ] trumpet : and there fell out of the heaven a great star , burning as a torch , and it fell upon the third part of the rivers , and upon the fountains of waters . And the name of the star is called Wormwood ; and the third part of the waters became wormwood , and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter . And the fourth angel sounded [ his ] trumpet : and the third part of the sun was smitten , and the third part of the moon , and the third part of the stars ; so that the third part of them should be darkened , and that the day should not appear [ for ] the third part of it , and the night the same . And I saw , and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven , saying with a loud voice , Woe , woe , woe , to them that dwell upon the earth , for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound . And the fifth angel sounded [ his ] trumpet : and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth ; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss . And it opened the pit of the abyss ; and there went up smoke out of the pit as [ the ] smoke of a great furnace ; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit . And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth , and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power ; and it was said to them , that they should not injure the grass of the earth , nor any green thing , nor any tree , but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads : and it was given to them that they should not kill them , but that they should be tormented five months ; and their torment [ was ] as [ the ] torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man . And in those days shall men seek death , and shall in no way find it ; and shall desire to die , and death flees from them . And the likenesses of the locusts [ were ] like to horses prepared for war ; and upon their heads as crowns like gold , and their faces as faces of men ; and they had hair as women&#039;s hair , and their teeth were as of lions , and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron , and the sound of their wings [ was ] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war ; and they have tails like scorpions , and stings ; and their power [ was ] in their tails to hurt men five months . They have a king over them , the angel of the abyss : his name in Hebrew , Abaddon , and in Greek he has [ for ] name Apollyon . The first woe has passed . Behold , there come yet two woes after these things . And the sixth angel sounded [ his ] trumpet : and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [ is ] before God , saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet , Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates . And the four angels were loosed , who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year , that they might slay the third part of men ; and the number of the hosts of horse [ was ] twice ten thousand times ten thousand . I heard their number . And thus I saw the horses in the vision , and those that sat upon them , having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone ; and the heads of the horses [ were ] as heads of lions , and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone . By these three plagues were the third part of men killed , by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths . For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails : for their tails [ are ] like serpents , having heads , and with them they injure . And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands , that they should not worship demons , and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols , which can neither see nor hear nor walk . And they repented not of their murders , nor of their witchcrafts , nor of their fornication , nor of their thefts . And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven , clothed with a cloud , and the rainbow upon his head , and his countenance as the sun , and his feet as pillars of fire , and having in his hand a little opened book . And he set his right foot on the sea , and the left upon the earth , and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars . And when he cried , the seven thunders uttered their own voices . And when the seven thunders spoke , I was about to write : and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying , Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken , and write them not . And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven , and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages , who created the heaven and the things that are in it , and the earth and the things that are in it , and the sea and the things that are in it , that there should be no longer delay ; but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel , when he is about to sound the trumpet , the mystery of God also shall be completed , as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets . And the voice which I heard out of the heaven [ was ] again speaking with me , and saying , Go , take the little book which is opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth . And I went to the angel , saying to him to give me the little book . And he says to me , Take and eat it up : and it shall make thy belly bitter , but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey . And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel , and ate it up ; and it was in my mouth as honey , sweet ; and when I had eaten it my belly was made bitter . And it was said to me , Thou must prophesy again as to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings . And there was given to me a reed like a staff , saying , Rise , and measure the temple of God , and the altar , and them that worship in it . And the court which [ is ] without the temple cast out , and measure it not ; because it has been given [ up ] to the nations , and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months . And I will give [ power ] to my two witnesses , and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [ and ] sixty days , clothed in sackcloth . These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth ; and if any one wills to injure them , fire goes out of their mouth , and devours their enemies . And if any one wills to injure them , thus must he be killed . These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy ; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood , and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague . And when they shall have completed their testimony , the beast who comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them , and shall conquer them , and shall kill them : and their body [ shall be ] on the street of the great city , which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt , where also their Lord was crucified . And [ men ] of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their body three days and a half , and they do not suffer their bodies to be put into a sepulchre . And they that dwell upon the earth rejoice over them , and are full of delight , and shall send gifts one to another , because these , the two prophets , tormented them that dwell upon the earth . And after the three days and a half [ the ] spirit of life from God came into them , and they stood upon their feet ; and great fear fell upon those beholding them . And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them , Come up here ; and they went up to the heaven in the cloud , and their enemies beheld them . And in that hour there was a great earthquake , and the tenth of the city fell , and seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake . And the remnant were filled with fear , and gave glory to the God of the heaven . The second woe has passed ; behold , the third woe comes quickly . And the seventh angel sounded [ his ] trumpet : and there were great voices in the heaven , saying , The kingdom of the world of our Lord and of his Christ is come , and he shall reign to the ages of ages . And the twenty-four elders , who sit on their thrones before God , fell upon their faces , and worshipped God , saying , We give thee thanks , Lord God Almighty , [ He ] who is , and who was , that thou hast taken thy great power and hast reigned . And the nations have been full of wrath , and thy wrath is come , and the time of the dead to be judged , and to give the recompense to thy servants the prophets , and to the saints , and to those who fear thy name , small and great ; and to destroy those that destroy the earth . And the temple of God in the heaven was opened , and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple : and there were lightnings , and voices , and thunders , and an earthquake , and great hail . And a great sign was seen in the heaven : a woman clothed with the sun , and the moon under her feet , and upon her head a crown of twelve stars ; and being with child she cried , [ being ] in travail , and in pain to bring forth . And another sign was seen in the heaven : and behold , a great red dragon , having seven heads and ten horns , and on his heads seven diadems ; and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven ; and he cast them to the earth . And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth , in order that when she brought forth he might devour her child . And she brought forth a male son , who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod ; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne . And the woman fled into the wilderness , where she has there a place prepared of God , that they should nourish her there a thousand two hundred [ and ] sixty days . And there was war in the heaven : Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon . And the dragon fought , and his angels ; and he prevailed not , nor was their place found any more in the heaven . And the great dragon was cast out , the ancient serpent , he who is called Devil and Satan , he who deceives the whole habitable world , he was cast out into the earth , and his angels were cast out with him . And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying , Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God , and the authority of his Christ ; for the accuser of our brethren has been cast out , who accused them before our God day and night : and * they * have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb , and by reason of the word of their testimony , and have not loved their life even unto death . Therefore be full of delight , ye heavens , and ye that dwell in them . Woe to the earth and to the sea , because the devil has come down to you , having great rage , knowing he has a short time . And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the earth , he persecuted the woman which bore the male [ child ] . And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle , that she might fly into the desert into her place , where she is nourished there a time , and times , and half a time , from [ the ] face of the serpent . And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman water as a river , that he might make her be [ as ] one carried away by a river . And the earth helped the woman , and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth . And the dragon was angry with the woman , and went to make war with the remnant of her seed , who keep the commandments of God , and have the testimony of Jesus . And I stood upon the sand of the sea ; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea , having ten horns and seven heads , and upon its horns ten diadems , and upon its heads names of blasphemy . And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess , and its feet as of a bear , and its mouth as a lion&#039;s mouth ; and the dragon gave to it his power , and his throne , and great authority ; and one of his heads [ was ] as slain to death , and his wound of death had been healed : and the whole earth wondered after the beast . And they did homage to the dragon , because he gave the authority to the beast ; and they did homage to the beast , saying , Who [ is ] like to the beast ? and who can make war with it ? And there was given to it a mouth , speaking great things and blasphemies ; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months . And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God , to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle , and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven . And there was given to it to make war with the saints , and to overcome them ; and there was given to it authority over every tribe , and people , and tongue , and nation ; and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage , [ every one ] whose name had not been written from [ the ] founding of [ the ] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb . If any one has an ear , let him hear . If any one [ leads ] into captivity , he goes into captivity . If any one shall kill with [ the ] sword , he must with [ the ] sword be killed . Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints . And I saw another beast rising out of the earth ; and it had two horns like to a lamb , and spake as a dragon ; and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it , and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast , whose wound of death was healed . And it works great signs , that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men . And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast , saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast , which has the wound of the sword , and lived . And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast , that the image of the beast should also speak , and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed . And it causes all , the small and the great , and the rich and the poor , and the free and the bondmen , that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead ; and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark , the name of the beast , or the number of its name . Here is wisdom . He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast : for it is a man&#039;s number ; and its number [ is ] six hundred [ and ] sixty-six . And I saw , and behold , the Lamb standing upon mount Zion , and with him a hundred [ and ] forty-four thousand , having his name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads . And I heard a voice out of the heaven as a voice of many waters , and as a voice of great thunder . And the voice which I heard [ was ] as of harp-singers harping with their harps ; and they sing a new song before the throne , and before the four living creatures and the elders . And no one could learn that song save the hundred [ and ] forty-four thousand who were bought from the earth . These are they who have not been defiled with women , for they are virgins : these are they who follow the Lamb wheresoever it goes . These have been bought from men [ as ] first-fruits to God and to the Lamb : and in their mouths was no lie found ; [ for ] they are blameless . And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven , having [ the ] everlasting glad tidings to announce to those settled on the earth , and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people , saying with a loud voice , Fear God and give him glory , for the hour of his judgment has come ; and do homage to him who has made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of waters . And another , a second , angel followed , saying , Great Babylon has fallen , has fallen , which of the wine of the fury of her fornication has made all nations drink . And another , a third , angel followed them , saying with a loud voice , If any one do homage to the beast and its image , and receive a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand , he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath , and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb . And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages , and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image , and if any one receive the mark of its name . Here is the endurance of the saints , who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus . And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying , Write , Blessed the dead who die in [ the ] Lord from henceforth . Yea , saith the Spirit , that they may rest from their labours ; for their works follow with them . And I saw , and behold , a white cloud , and on the cloud one sitting like [ the ] Son of man , having upon his head a golden crown , and in his hand a sharp sickle . And another angel came out of the temple , crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud , Send thy sickle and reap ; for the hour of reaping is come , for the harvest of the earth is dried . And he that sat on the cloud put his sickle on the earth , and the earth was reaped . And another angel came out of the temple which [ is ] in the heaven , he also having a sharp sickle . And another angel came out of the altar , having power over fire , and called with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle , saying , Send thy sharp sickle , and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth ; for her grapes are fully ripened . And the angel put his sickle to the earth , and gathered the vine of the earth , and cast [ the bunches ] into the great wine-press of the fury of God ; and the wine-press was trodden without the city , and blood went out of the wine-press to the bits of the horses for a thousand six hundred stadia . And I saw another sign in the heaven , great and wonderful : seven angels having seven plagues , the last ; for in them the fury of God is completed . And I saw as a glass sea , mingled with fire , and those that had gained the victory over the beast , and over its image , and over the number of its name , standing upon the glass sea , having harps of God . And they sing the song of Moses bondman of God , and the song of the Lamb , saying , Great and wonderful [ are ] thy works , Lord God Almighty ; righteous and true [ are ] thy ways , O King of nations . Who shall not fear [ thee ] , O Lord , and glorify thy name ? for [ thou ] only [ art ] holy ; for all nations shall come and do homage before thee ; for thy righteousnesses have been made manifest . And after these things I saw , and the temple of the tabernacle of witness in the heaven was opened ; and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple , clothed in pure bright linen , and girded about the breasts with golden girdles . And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls , full of the fury of God , who lives to the ages of ages . And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power : and no one could enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed . And I heard a great voice out of the temple , saying to the seven angels , Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God upon the earth . And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth ; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast , and those who worshipped its image . And the second poured out his bowl on the sea ; and it became blood , as of a dead man ; and every living soul died in the sea . And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers , and [ on ] the fountains of waters ; and they became blood . And I heard the angel of the waters saying , Thou art righteous , who art and wast , the holy one , that thou hast judged so ; for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets , and thou hast given them blood to drink ; they are worthy . And I heard the altar saying , Yea , Lord God Almighty , true and righteous [ are ] thy judgments . And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun ; and it was given to it to burn men with fire . And the men were burnt with great heat , and blasphemed the name of God , who had authority over these plagues , and did not repent to give him glory . And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast ; and its kingdom became darkened ; and they gnawed their tongues with distress , and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their distresses and their sores , and did not repent of their works . And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates ; and its water was dried up , that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared . And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon , and out of the mouth of the beast , and out of the mouth of the false prophet , three unclean spirits , as frogs ; for they are [ the ] spirits of demons , doing signs ; which go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them together to the war of [ that ] great day of God the Almighty . ( Behold , I come as a thief . Blessed [ is ] he that watches and keeps his garments , that he may not walk naked , and that they [ may not ] see his shame . ) And he gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew , Armagedon . And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air ; and there came out a great voice from the temple of the heaven , from the throne , saying , It is done . And there were lightnings , and voices , and thunders ; and there was a great earthquake , such as was not since men were upon the earth , such an earthquake , so great . And the great city was [ divided ] into three parts ; and the cities of the nations fell : and great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath . And every island fled , and mountains were not found ; and a great hail , as of a talent weight , comes down out of the heaven upon men ; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail , for the plague of it is exceeding great . And one of the seven angels , which had the seven bowls , came and spoke with me , saying , Come here , I will shew thee the sentence of the great harlot who sits upon the many waters ; with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication ; and they that dwell on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication . And he carried me away in spirit to a desert ; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast , full of names of blasphemy , having seven heads and ten horns . And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet , and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls , having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication ; and upon her forehead a name written , Mystery , great Babylon , the mother of the harlots , and of the abominations of the earth . And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints , and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus . And I wondered , seeing her , with great wonder . And the angel said to me , Why hast thou wondered ? * I * will tell thee the mystery of the woman , and of the beast which carries her , which has the seven heads and the ten horns . The beast which thou sawest was , and is not , and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction : and they who dwell on the earth , whose names are not written from the founding of the world in the book of life , shall wonder , seeing the beast , that it was , and is not , and shall be present . Here is the mind that has wisdom : The seven heads are seven mountains , whereon the woman sits . And there are seven kings : five have fallen , one is , the other has not yet come ; and when he comes he must remain [ only ] a little while . And the beast that was and is not , he also is an eighth , and is of the seven , and goes into destruction . And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings , which have not yet received a kingdom , but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast . These have one mind , and give their power and authority to the beast . These shall make war with the Lamb , and the Lamb shall overcome them ; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings : and they [ that are ] with him called , and chosen , and faithful . And he says to me , The waters which thou sawest , where the harlot sits , are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues . And the ten horns which thou sawest , and the beast , these shall hate the harlot , and shall make her desolate and naked , and shall eat her flesh , and shall burn her with fire ; for God has given to their hearts to do his mind , and to act with one mind , and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled . And the woman which thou sawest is the great city , which has kingship over the kings of the earth . After these things I saw another angel descending out of the heaven , having great authority : and the earth was lightened with his glory . And he cried with a strong voice , saying , Great Babylon has fallen , has fallen , and has become the habitation of demons , and a hold of every unclean spirit , and a hold of every unclean and hated bird ; because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication ; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her , and the merchants of the earth have been enriched through the might of her luxury . And I heard another voice out of the heaven saying , Come out of her , my people , that ye have not fellowship in her sins , and that ye do not receive of her plagues : for her sins have been heaped on one another up to the heaven , and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses . Recompense her even as she has recompensed ; and double [ to her ] double , according to her works . In the cup which she has mixed , mix to her double . So much as she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously , so much torment and grief give to her . Because she says in her heart , I sit a queen , and I am not a widow ; and I shall in no wise see grief : for this reason in one day shall her plagues come , death and grief and famine , and she shall be burnt with fire ; for strong [ is the ] Lord God who has judged her . And the kings of the earth , who have committed fornication , and lived luxuriously with her , shall weep and wail over her , when they see the smoke of her burning , standing afar off , through fear of her torment , saying , Woe , woe , the great city , Babylon , the strong city ! for in one hour thy judgment is come . And the merchants of the earth weep and grieve over her , because no one buys their lading any more ; lading of gold , and silver , and precious stones , and pearl , and fine linen , and purple , and silk , and scarlet dye , and all thyine wood , and every article in ivory , and every article in most precious wood , and in brass , and in iron , and in marble , and cinnamon , and amomum , and incense , and unguent , and frankincense , and wine , and oil , and fine flour , and wheat , and cattle , and sheep , and of horses , and of chariots , and of bodies , and souls of men . And the ripe fruits which were the lust of thy soul have departed from thee , and all fair and splendid things have perished from thee , and they shall not find them any more at all . The merchants of these things , who had been enriched through her , shall stand afar off through fear of her torment , weeping and grieving , saying , Woe , woe , the great city , which [ was ] clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet , and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls ! for in one hour so great riches has been made desolate . And every steersman , and every one who sailed to any place , and sailors , and all who exercise their calling on the sea , stood afar off , and cried , seeing the smoke of her burning , saying , What [ city ] is like to the great city ? and cast dust upon their heads , and cried , weeping and grieving , saying , Woe , woe , the great city , in which all that had ships in the sea were enriched through her costliness ! for in one hour she has been made desolate . Rejoice over her , heaven , and [ ye ] saints and apostles and prophets ; for God has judged your judgment upon her . And a strong angel took up a stone , as a great millstone , and cast [ it ] into the sea , saying , Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down , and shall be found no more at all ; and voice of harp-singers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters shall not be heard any more at all in thee , and no artificer of any art shall be found any more at all in thee , and voice of millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee , and light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee , and voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in thee ; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth ; for by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived . And in her was found [ the ] blood of prophets and saints , and of all the slain upon the earth . After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven , saying , Hallelujah : the salvation and the glory and the power of our God : for true and righteous [ are ] his judgments ; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication , and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand . And a second time they said , Hallelujah . And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages . And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne , saying , Amen , Hallelujah . And a voice came out of the throne , saying , Praise our God , all ye his bondmen , [ and ] ye that fear him , small and great . And I heard as a voice of a great crowd , and as a voice of many waters , and as a voice of strong thunders , saying , Hallelujah , for [ the ] Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power . Let us rejoice and exult , and give him glory ; for the marriage of the Lamb is come , and his wife has made herself ready . And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen , bright [ and ] pure ; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints . And he says to me , Write , Blessed [ are ] they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb . And he says to me , These are the true words of God . And I fell before his feet to do him homage . And he says to me , See [ thou do it ] not . I am thy fellow-bondman , and [ the fellow-bondman ] of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus . Do homage to God . For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus . And I saw the heaven opened , and behold , a white horse , and one sitting on it , [ called ] Faithful and True , and he judges and makes war in righteousness . And his eyes are a flame of fire , and upon his head many diadems , having a name written which no one knows but himself ; and [ he is ] clothed with a garment dipped in blood ; and his name is called The Word of God . And the armies which [ are ] in the heaven followed him upon white horses , clad in white , pure , fine linen . And out of his mouth goes a sharp [ two-edged ] sword , that with it he might smite the nations ; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod ; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty . And he has upon his garment , and upon his thigh , a name written , King of kings , and Lord of lords . And I saw an angel standing in the sun ; and he cried with a loud voice , saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven , Come , gather yourselves to the great supper of God , that ye may eat flesh of kings , and flesh of chiliarchs , and flesh of strong men , and flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them , and flesh of all , both free and bond , and small and great . And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse , and against his army . And the beast was taken , and the false prophet that [ was ] with him , who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast , and those that worship his image . Alive were both cast into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone ; and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse , which goes out of his mouth ; and all the birds were filled with their flesh . And I saw an angel descending from the heaven , having the key of the abyss , and a great chain in his hand . And he laid hold of the dragon , the ancient serpent who is [ the ] devil and Satan , and bound him a thousand years , and cast him into the abyss , and shut [ it ] and sealed [ it ] over him , that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed ; after these things he must be loosed for a little time . And I saw thrones ; and they sat upon them , and judgment was given to them ; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus , and on account of the word of God ; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image , and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand ; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years : the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed . This [ is ] the first resurrection . Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection : over these the second death has no power ; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ , and shall reign with him a thousand years . And when the thousand years have been completed , Satan shall be loosed from his prison , and shall go out to deceive the nations which [ are ] in the four corners of the earth , Gog and Magog , to gather them together to the war , whose number [ is ] as the sand of the sea . And they went up on the breadth of the earth , and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city : and fire came down [ from God ] out of the heaven and devoured them . And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone , where [ are ] both the beast and the false prophet ; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages . And I saw a great white throne , and him that sat on it , from whose face the earth and the heaven fled , and place was not found for them . And I saw the dead , great and small , standing before the throne , and books were opened ; and another book was opened , which is [ that ] of life . And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works . And the sea gave up the dead which [ were ] in it , and death and hades gave up the dead which [ were ] in them ; and they were judged each according to their works : and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire . This is the second death , [ even ] the lake of fire . And if any one was not found written in the book of life , he was cast into the lake of fire . And I saw a new heaven and a new earth ; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away , and the sea exists no more . And I saw the holy city , new Jerusalem , coming down out of the heaven from God , prepared as a bride adorned for her husband . And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven , saying , Behold , the tabernacle of God [ is ] with men , and he shall tabernacle with them , and they shall be his people , and God himself shall be with them , their God . And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes ; and death shall not exist any more , nor grief , nor cry , nor distress shall exist any more , for the former things have passed away . And he that sat on the throne said , Behold , I make all things new . And he says [ to me ] , Write , for these words are true and faithful . And he said to me , It is done . I am the Alpha and the Omega , the beginning and the end . I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely . He that overcomes shall inherit these things , and I will be to him God , and he shall be to me son . But to the fearful and unbelieving , [ and sinners ] , and those who make themselves abominable , and murderers , and fornicators , and sorcerers , and idolaters , and all liars , their part [ is ] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone ; which is the second death . And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues , and spoke with me , saying , Come here , I will shew thee the bride , the Lamb&#039;s wife . And he carried me away in [ the ] Spirit , [ and set me ] on a great and high mountain , and shewed me the holy city , Jerusalem , coming down out of the heaven from God , having the glory of God . Her shining [ was ] like a most precious stone , as a crystal-like jasper stone ; having a great and high wall ; having twelve gates , and at the gates twelve angels , and names inscribed , which are those of the twelve tribes of [ the ] sons of Israel . On [ the ] east three gates ; and on [ the ] north three gates ; and on [ the ] south three gates ; and on [ the ] west three gates . And the wall of the city had twelve foundations , and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb . And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [ as ] a measure , that he might measure the city , and its gates , and its wall . And the city lies four-square , and its length [ is ] as much as the breadth . And he measured the city with the reed -- twelve thousand stadia : the length and the breadth and height of it are equal . And he measured its wall , a hundred [ and ] forty-four cubits , [ a ] man&#039;s measure , that is , [ the ] angel&#039;s . And the building of its wall [ was ] jasper ; and the city pure gold , like pure glass : the foundations of the wall of the city [ were ] adorned with every precious stone : the first foundation , jasper ; the second , sapphire ; the third , chalcedony ; the fourth , emerald ; the fifth , sardonyx ; the sixth , sardius ; the seventh , chrysolite ; the eighth , beryl ; the ninth , topaz ; the tenth , chrysoprasus ; the eleventh , jacinth ; the twelfth , amethyst . And the twelve gates , twelve pearls ; each one of the gates , respectively , was of one pearl ; and the street of the city pure gold , as transparent glass . And I saw no temple in it ; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple , and the Lamb . And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon , that they should shine for it ; for the glory of God has enlightened it , and the lamp thereof [ is ] the Lamb . And the nations shall walk by its light ; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it . And its gates shall not be shut at all by day , for night shall not be there . And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it . And nothing common , nor that maketh an abomination and a lie , shall at all enter into it ; but those only who [ are ] written in the book of life of the Lamb . And he shewed me a river of water of life , bright as crystal , going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb . In the midst of its street , and of the river , on this side and on that side , [ the ] tree of life , producing twelve fruits , in each month yielding its fruit ; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations . And no curse shall be any more ; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it ; and his servants shall serve him , and they shall see his face ; and his name [ is ] on their foreheads . And night shall not be any more , and no need of a lamp , and light of [ the ] sun ; for [ the ] Lord God shall shine upon them , and they shall reign to the ages of ages . And he said to me , These words [ are ] faithful and true ; and [ the ] Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass . And behold , I come quickly . Blessed [ is ] he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book . And I , John , [ was ] he who heard and saw these things . And when I heard and saw , I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things . And he says to me , See [ thou do it ] not . I am thy fellow-bondman , and [ the fellow-bondman ] of thy brethren the prophets , and of those who keep the words of this book . Do homage to God . And he says to me , Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book . The time is near . Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still ; and let the filthy make himself filthy still ; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still ; and he that is holy , let him be sanctified still . Behold , I come quickly , and my reward with me , to render to every one as his work shall be . * I * [ am ] the Alpha and the Omega , [ the ] first and [ the ] last , the beginning and the end . Blessed [ are ] they that wash their robes , that they may have right to the tree of life , and that they should go in by the gates into the city . Without [ are ] the dogs , and the sorcerers , and the fornicators , and the murderers , and the idolaters , and every one that loves and makes a lie . * I * Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies . * I * am the root and offspring of David , the bright [ and ] morning star . And the Spirit and the bride say , Come . And let him that hears say , Come . And let him that is athirst come ; he that will , let him take [ the ] water of life freely . * I * testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book , If any one shall add to these things , God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book . And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy , God shall take away his part from the tree of life , and out of the holy city , which are written in this book . He that testifies these things says , Yea , I come quickly . Amen ; come , Lord Jesus . The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [ be ] with all the saints . </passage></reply></GetPassage>
