Revelation 1 is the first chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1] but the precise identity of the author is a point of academic debate.[2] This chapter contains the prologue of the book, followed by the vision and commission of John.[3]
