And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those having been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who did not worship the beast nor its image, and did not receive the mark upon the forehead and upon their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
