Revelation 20:4-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus^[a] and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its brand on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.^{(A) 5} (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
