Greeting to the Seven Churches

4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from him ^gwho is and who was and who is to come, and from ^hthe seven spirits who are before his throne,

11 saying, “Write what you see in a book and ^usend it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
