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 Kui ma Teda nägin, siis ma langesin maha Tema jalgade ette nagu surnu. Ja Ta pani Oma parema käe mu peale ja ütles mulle: „Ära karda, Mina olen Esimene ja Viimne

18 ja Elav; Ma olin surnud, ja vaata, Ma olen elav ajastute ajastuteni, ja Minu käes on surma ja surmavalla võtmed!
