Revelation 1:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. ¹⁸ I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.^[a]

¹⁹ “Write down what you have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen.^[b]
