17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last,

18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.

17 我看见了他， 就仆倒在他脚前， 像死了一样。他用右手按着我， 说： "不要怕！ 我是首先的， 我是末后的，

18 又是永活的； 我曾经死过， 看哪， 现在又活着， 直活到永永远远， 并且拿着死亡和阴间的钥匙。
