1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and

ℵ ⟨and behold,⟩

the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

2 And

ℵA omit

immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

3 And he that sat was

ℵA ⟨was⟩

to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty

ℵ ⟨saw I four and twenty seats, and⟩; A ⟨saw I twenty four seats, and upon the twenty four seats⟩

elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had

on their heads crowns of gold.

5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices

ℵA ⟨voices and thunderings⟩

: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6 And before the throne there was a

ℵA ⟨as a⟩

sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as

ℵ ⟨like as⟩

a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy

ℵ ⟨Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy⟩

, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever

ℵ ⟨ever, Amen⟩

,

10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever

ℵ ⟨ever, Amen⟩

, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 Thou art worthy, O Lord

ℵ ⟨O Lord, our Lord and God⟩; A ⟨our Lord and God⟩

, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are

ℵA ⟨were⟩

and were created
