The River of the Water of Life and the Tree of Life

¹And he shewed mee a pure riuer of water of life, cleere as Chrystall, proceeding out of the throne of God, and of the Lambe.

²In the middest of the street of it, and of either side of the riuer, was there the tree of life, which bare twelue manner of fruits, and yeelded her fruit euery moneth: and the leaues of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

³And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God, & of the Lambe shall bee in it, and his seruants shall serue him.

⁴And they shall see his face, and his Name shall be in their foreheads.

⁵And there shalbe no night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the Sunne, for the Lord God giueth them light, and they shall reigne for euer and euer.

The Promise of Coming Soon and the Warning

⁶And hee said vnto mee, These sayings are faithfull and true. And the Lord God of the holy Prophets sent his Angel to shew vnto his seruants the things which must shortly be done.

⁷Beholde, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecie of this booke.

⁸And I Iohn saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seene, I fell downe, to worship before the feete of the Angel, which shewed me these things.

⁹Then saith he vnto me, See thou doe it not: for I am thy fellow seruant, and of thy brethren the Prophets, and of them which keepe the sayings of this booke: worship God.

¹⁰And hee saith vnto mee, Seale not the sayings of the prophesie of this booke: for the time is at hand.

¹¹He that is vniust, let him be vniust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and hee that is righteous, let him bee righteous still: and hee that is holy, let him be holy still.

¹²And behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with mee, to giue euery man according as his worke shall be.

¹³I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first & the last.

¹⁴Blessed are they that do his commandements, that they may haue right to the tree of life, and may enter in thorow the gates into the citie.

¹⁵For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoeuer loueth and maketh a lie.

The Final Testimony and the Plea for the Lord

¹⁶I Iesus haue sent mine Angel, to testifie vnto you these things in the Churches. I am the roote and the offspring of Dauid, and the bright and morning starre.

¹⁷And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth, say, Come. And let him that is a thirst, come. And whosoeuer will, let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁸For I testifie vnto euery man that heareth the wordes of the prophesie of this booke, If any man shal adde vnto these things, God shall adde vnto him the plagues, that are written in this booke.

¹⁹And if any man shall take away from the wordes of the booke of this prophesie, God shal take away his part out of the booke of life, and out of the holy citie, and from the things which are written in this booke.

²⁰Hee which testifieth these things, saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Euen so, Come Lord Iesus.

²¹The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness

¹For beholde, the day commeth, that shall burne as an ouen, and all the proud, yea and all that doe wickedly shalbe stubble: and the day that commeth, shal burne them vp, saith the Lord of hostes, that it shall leaue them neither roote nor branch.

²But vnto you that feare my Name, shall the Sunne of righteousnesse arise with healing in his wings, and shall goe foorth and grow vp as calues of the staule.

³And yee shall treade downe the wicked: for they shall bee ashes vnder the soles of your feet, in the day that I shall doe this, saith the Lord of hosts.

I Will Send Elijah

⁴Remember yee the Law of Moses my seruant, which I commanded vnto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the Statutes and iudgements.

⁵Beholde, I will send you Eliiah the Prophet, before the comming of the great and dreadfull day of the Lord.

⁶And hee shall turne the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Tiberias

¹After these things Iesus shewed himselfe againe to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and on this wise shewed he himselfe.

²There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathaneel of Cana in Galilee, and the sonnes of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

³Simon Peter saith vnto them, I goe a fishing. They say vnto him, Wee also goe with thee. They went foorth and entred into a ship immediatly, and that night they caught nothing.

⁴But when the morning was now come, Iesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus.

⁵Then Iesus saith vnto them, Children, haue ye any meat? They answered him, No.

⁶And he said vnto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and yee shall finde. They cast therfore, and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.

⁷Therefore that Disciple whome Iesus loued, saith vnto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fishers coate vnto him, (for hee was naked) & did cast himselfe into the sea.

⁸And the other disciples came in a litle ship (for they were not farre from land, but as it were two hundred cubites) dragging the net with fishes.

⁹Assoone then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coales there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

¹⁰Iesus saith vnto them, Bring of the fish, which ye haue now caught.

¹¹Simon Peter went vp, & drewe the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fiftie and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

¹²Iesus saith vnto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples durst aske him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³Iesus then commeth, and taketh bread, and giueth them, and fish likewise.

¹⁴This is nowe the third time that Iesus shewed himselfe to his disciples, after that hee was risen from the dead.

Jesus Restores Peter

¹⁵So when they had dined, Iesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, sonne of Ionas, louest thou mee more then these? He saith vnto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I loue thee. He saith vnto him, Feed my lambes.

¹⁶He saith to him againe the second time, Simon sonne of Ionas, louest thou me? He saith vnto him, Yea Lord, thou knowest that I loue thee. He saith vnto him, Feed my sheepe.

¹⁷He said vnto him the third time, Simon sonne of Ionas, louest thou mee? Peter was grieued, because hee saide vnto him the third time, Louest thou me? And he said vnto him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I loue thee. Iesus sayth vnto him, Feed my sheepe.

¹⁸Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, whe thou wast yong, thou girdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carie thee whither thou wouldest not.

¹⁹This spake hee, signifying by what death he should glorifie God. And when he had spoken this, he sayth vnto him, Follow me.

²⁰Then Peter turning about, seeth the Disciple whom Iesus loued, following, which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is hee that betraieth thee?

²¹Peter seeing him, saith to Iesus, Lord, and what shall this man doe?

²²Iesus saith vnto him, If I will that he tary till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

²³Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that Disciple should not die: yet Iesus sayd not vnto him, He shall not die: but, If I will that he tary till I come, what is that to thee?

²⁴This is the Disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimonie is true.

²⁵And there are also many other things which Iesus did, the which if they should be written euery one, I suppose that euen the world it selfe could not conteine the bookes that should be written, Amen.
