10. On the Lord’s Day, the Spirit took control of me. I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
11. It said, “Write down in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12. I turned to see who was talking to me. When I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13. I saw someone among the lampstands who looked like the Son of Man. He was dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash tied around his chest.
14. His head and hair were white like wool—wool that is white as snow. His eyes were like flames of fire.
