Revelation 11:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Two Witnesses

11 Then I was given a measuring reed^(A) like a rod,^[a] with these words: “Go^[b] and measure God’s sanctuary and the altar, and count those who worship there. ² But exclude the courtyard outside the sanctuary. Don’t measure it, because it is given to the nations,^[c] and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. ³ I will empower^[d] my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,^[e](B) dressed in sackcloth.”^[f]
