¶ And there¹ appeared a great wonder² in heaven; a woman³ clothed⁴ with the sun, and the⁵ moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown⁶ of twelve stars:

And she being with child cried, travailing⁷ in birth, and pained to be delivered.

And there appeared another wonder⁸ in heaven; and behold a great⁹ red dragon, having seven heads¹⁰ and ten¹¹ horns, and seven crowns¹² upon his heads.

And his tail¹³ drew the third part of the¹⁴ stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon¹⁵ stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

And she¹⁶ brought forth a man child, who was to rule¹⁷ all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught¹⁸ up unto God, and to his throne.

And the woman¹⁹ fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that²⁰ they should feed her there a thousand²¹ two hundred and threescore days.

And there was war²² in heaven: Michael²³ and his²⁴ angels fought against the dragon²⁵; and the dragon fought and his angels²⁶,

And prevailed not²⁷; neither was their²⁸ place found any more in heaven.

And the great²⁹ dragon was cast out, that³⁰ old serpent, called the Devil³¹, and Satan³², which deceiveth³³ the whole world: he was³⁴ cast out into³⁵ the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¶ And I heard³⁶ a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom³⁷ of our God, and the power³⁸ of his Christ: for the accuser³⁹ of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

And they overcame⁴⁰ him by the blood⁴¹ of the Lamb, and by the word⁴² of their testimony; and they loved not⁴³ their lives unto the death.

¶ Therefore rejoice⁴⁴, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe⁴⁵ to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because⁴⁶ he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

⁴⁷And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

And to the⁴⁸ woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might⁴⁹ fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time⁵⁰, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

And the serpent cast⁵¹ out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

⁵²And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

And the dragon⁵³ was wroth with the woman, and went to make⁵⁴ war with the remnant of her seed, which⁵⁵ keep the commandments of God, and have⁵⁶ the testimony of Jesus Christ.
