Revelation 1:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ I am John, your brother. I belong to Jesus and I am having big trouble just as you are. I also belong to his kingdom and I wait patiently for it. I was on an island called Patmos because I told the word of God and talked about Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. Behind me I heard a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet or horn.

¹¹ The voice said, `Write what you see in a book. Send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.'
