Translation note
“In the Spirit”: it can also be understood “in spirit,” in a vision. “The Lord’s day” (kyriakē hēmera, “the day belonging to the Lord”): the expression occurs only here in the Bible, and the text does not say which day it is.
The context
9I, John, your brother and partner in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
