Revelation 1:11

Efesos Laodikea Pergamon Filadelfia Sardes Smyrna Tyatira

⁹ I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus.

¹⁰ On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

¹² Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,

¹³ and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.
