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.
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. He laid His right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last,
18 and the Living One. I was dead, but look — I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.
19 Therefore write what you have seen, what is, and what will take place after this.
