This is Revelation 12 from the Christian New Testament, presented in a parallel-text format with three versions side by side: the Greek critical text (GNT), the King James Version with Strong's concordance numbers interleaved, and the Latin Vulgate. The chapter narrates two cosmic visions: a woman clothed with the sun, crowned with twelve stars, and heavily pregnant, who is threatened by a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns waiting to devour her child; and a war in heaven where the archangel Michael casts the dragon — identified explicitly as the Devil and Satan — down to earth. The woman's male child, destined to rule the nations with a rod of iron, is caught up to God's throne before the dragon can destroy him, while the woman flees into the wilderness for 1,260 days under divine protection. A heavenly voice proclaims that Satan's expulsion marks the arrival of God's kingdom and Christ's authority, and the dragon's defeat is attributed to "the blood of the Lamb" and the martyrs' testimony. The presentation is a scholarly reference tool rather than a devotional or interpretive work, using the parallel columns and Strong's numbers to allow word-level comparison across the Greek source text and its two major Western translations.
