New American Standard Bible 1995

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which ^(A)God gave Him to ^(B)show to His bond-servants, ^(C)the things which must soon take place; and He sent and ^[a]communicated it ^(D)by His angel to His bond-servant ^(E)John, ² who testified to ^(F)the word of God and to ^(G)the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. ^3 (H)Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and ^[b]heed the things which are written in it; ^(I)for the time is near.
