Holman Christian Standard Bible

John’s Vision of the Risen Lord

⁹ I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of God’s word and the testimony about Jesus.^{[a](A) 10} I was in the Spirit^[b][c](B) on the Lord’s day,^[d] and I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet ¹¹ saying, “Write on a scroll^[e] what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
