10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet
11 saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven gold lampstands,
13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe and with a gold sash wrapped around His chest.
14 His head and hair were white like wool — white as snow — and His eyes like a fiery flame.
15 His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace, and His voice like the sound of cascading waters.
16 He had seven stars in His right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth, and His face was shining like the sun at midday.
