Revelation 20:4

Context

20:4 Then 2  I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. 3  I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These 4  had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They 5  came to life 6  and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
