Revelation
John says a sharp two-edged sword came from the mouth of the Son of Man figure Revelation 1:16. The description is part of the vision of Jesus among the lampstands Revelation 1:12–16.
12I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13And in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
14His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
16He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
