And I looked, and, lo, a ^aLamb stood on the mount ^bSion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's ^cname written in their foreheads.

 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

 3 And they sung as it were a new ^asong before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

 4 These are they which were not defiled with ^awomen; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were ^bredeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

 5 And in their mouth was found no ^aguile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

 6 And I saw another ^aangel fly in the midst of heaven, having the ^beverlasting ^cgospel to ^dpreach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every ^enation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

 7 Saying with a loud voice, ^aFear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his ^bjudgment is come: and ^cworship ^dhim that made ^eheaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

 8 And there followed another angel, saying, ^aBabylon is ^bfallen, is fallen, that great ^ccity, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her ^dfornication.

 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^apoured out without mixture into the cup of his ^bindignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

 12 Here is the ^apatience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, ^aBlessed are the ^bdead which ^cdie in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may ^drest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
