Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἣν ὤφθη αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς δεῖξαι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει, καὶ ἐσήμανεν ἀποστείλας διʼ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννῃ,
ὃς ἐμαρτύρησεν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὅσα εἶδεν.
Μακάριος ὁ ἀναγινώσκων καὶ οἱ ἀκούοντες τοὺς λόγους τῆς προφητείας, καὶ τηροῦντες τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν αὐτῇ· ὅ γὰρ καιρὸς ἐγγύς.
Ἰωάννης ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ὃς ἦν καὶ ὃς ἐστιν καὶ ὃς ἔρχεται, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἑπτὰ πνευμάτων τῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ· ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς, ὁ πρωτότοκος τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς· τῷ ἀγαπῶντι ἡμᾶς καὶ λούσαντι ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς βασιλείαν, ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ ἡ δύναμις εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· Ἀμήν.
Ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν, καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν πᾶς ὀφθαλμός, καὶ οἵς αὐτὸν ἐξεκέντησαν· καὶ κόπρον αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. ναί, Ἀμήν.
Ἐγὼ Ἰωάννης ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν καὶ συγκοινωνὸς ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ καὶ ὑπομονῇ ἐν Ἰησοῦ, ἤμην ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ.
ἐγενεῖτο ἐν τῷ καθῆσθαι μου ἐπὶ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς Κυρίου, καὶ ἤκουσα ὀπίσω μου φωνῆς μεγάλας ὡς σάλπιγγος,
λέγουσας· Ὃ βλέπεις γράψον ἐν βιβλίῳ καὶ στέλει αἰτίαις ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις· εἰς Ἔφεσον καὶ εἰς Σμύρνην καὶ εἰς Περγάμον καὶ εἰς Θυάτειρα καὶ εἰς Σάρδεις καὶ εἰς Φιλαδελφίαν καὶ εἰς Λαοδίκειαν.
Καὶ ἐστροφήν, ὁρῶν ἐν μεσῷ τῶν λαμπρῶν πραγμάτων καὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἑνὸς πεπυκνωμένου ἐπὶ τὸ στήθος αὐτοῦ,
καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τοὺς κόλπους αὐτοῦ ἀσπιδόσχημον ἔχοντα, καὶ τὰς ποδὰς αὐτοῦ ὡς χαλκόν λαμπρόν ὑπὸ φωτινῆς πυρός, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς φωνὴ ὕδατος πολλῶν.
καὶ ἔχων ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἀστέρια· καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ῥομφαία δισσὰ ἐκπορεύεται· καὶ ὁ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος φαίνει ἐν δυνάμει αὐτοῦ.
Καὶ ὡς ἰδοὺ συνετρίβησα ἐν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ὡς νεκρὸς· καὶ ἔπεσα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὡς νεκρός· καὶ ἔθηκέ μου τὴν δεξιὰν ἐπὶ τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ ἐλάλησεν μοι ὁ εἷς ὃς ἦν ζῶν εἰς τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν αἰώνων καὶ εἶπεν· Μὴ φοβοῦ· ἐγὼ ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος,
καὶ ὁ ζῶν· καὶ ἐγενόμην νεκρὸς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, καὶ ἔχω τὰς κλεῖς τῆς θανάτου καὶ τοῦ ᾅδου.
Γράψον οὖν ἃ εἶδες καὶ ἃ εἰσὶν καὶ ἃ μέλλει γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα.
Τὸ μυστήριον τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀστέρων οὓς εἶδες ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ μου καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ λυχνίας τῶν χερῶν μου ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαι εἰσίν.
