New International Reader's Version

Revelation 1:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. This is the revelation that God gave to Jesus Christ. Jesus shows those who serve God what will happen soon. God made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.

2. John gives witness to everything he saw. The things he gives witness to are God's word and what Jesus Christ has said.

3. Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy. Blessed are those who hear it and think everything it says is important. The time when these things will come true is near.
