Revelation

¹³and in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man. He was dressed in a robe extending down to his feet and he wore a wide golden belt around his chest. ¹⁴His head and hair were as white as wool, even as white as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame. ¹⁵His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. ¹⁶He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword extended out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun shining at full strength. ¹⁷When I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last, ¹⁸and the one who lives! I was dead, but look, now I am alive – forever and ever – and I hold the keys of death and of Hades! ¹⁹Therefore write what you saw, what is, and what will be after these things.
