8And I, John, am he who saw these things and to whose ears they came. And when I had seen and given ear, I went down on my face to give worship at the feet of the angel who made these things clear to me.
9And he said to me, See you do it not; I am a brother-servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: give worship to God.
10And he said to me, Let not the words of this prophet's book be kept secret, because the time is near.
11Let the evil man go on in his evil: and let the unclean be still unclean: and let the upright go on in his righteousness: and let the holy be holy still.
12See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works.
13I am the First and the Last, the start and the end.
14A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town.
