Revelation 1:6
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
πατήρ
When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.
