Revelation 1:2
 Revelation 1:2 
New International Version (© 2011)
who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

King James Bible
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

American Standard Version
who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all things that he saw.

Young's Literal Translation
who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.

Revelation 1:2 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Who bare record of the word of God - Is there a reference here to the first chapter of John's gospel, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, etc.? Of this Word John did bear record. Or, does the writer mean the fidelity with which he noted and related the word - doctrines or prophecies, which he received at this time by revelation from God? This seems more consistent with the latter part of the verse.
