Prologue

1 The revelation of[a] Jesus Christ that God gave Him to show His slaves what must quickly[b] take place.[c] He sent it and signified it[d] through His angel to His slave John,

3 Blessed[h] is the one who reads and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep[i] what is written in it, because the time is near!
