1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod, and [he] said unto me, Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those that worship therein. 2But leave out the court which is within the temple and measure it not, for it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months. 3And I will give my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. 4These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5And if anyone desires to hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and if anyone desires to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6These have power to shut the heaven, that it not rain in the days of their prophecy and have power over the waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them. 8And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9And those of the peoples and kindreds and tongues and Gentiles shall see their dead bodies three days and a half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10And those that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry and shall send gifts one to another because these two prophets tormented those that dwelt on the earth. 11And after three days and a half, the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them. 12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up here.
