11 dicentis: “ Quod vides, scribe in libro et mitteseptem ecclesiis: Ephesum et Smyrnam et Pergamum et Thyatiram et Sardis etPhiladelphiam et Laodiciam ”.	11 saying, “What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven Churches, which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Et conversus sum, ut viderem vocem, quaeloquebatur mecum; et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea	12 And I turned around, so as to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned around, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13 et in mediocandelabrorum quasi Filium hominis, vestitum podere et praecinctum ad mamillaszonam auream;	13 And in the midst of the seven golden lampstands was one resembling the Son of man, clothed to the feet with a vestment, and wrapped to the breast with a wide belt of gold.
14 caput autem eius et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba,tamquam nix, et oculi eius velut flamma ignis,	14 But his head and hair were bright, like white wool, or like snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire;
15 et pedes eius similesorichalco sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum,	15 and his feet resembled shining brass, just as in a burning furnace; and his voice was like the voice of many waters.
16 et habebat in dextera manu sua stellas septem, et de ore eius gladius ancepsacutus exibat, et facies eius sicut sol lucet in virtute sua.	16 And in his right hand, he held the seven stars; and from his mouth went out a sharp two-edged sword; and his face was like the sun, shining with all its might.

Ego sum primus et novissimus,	17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet, like one who is dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
