New Testament

Ezekiel 1:12-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.

13. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches:

14. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

15. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces thereof.

16. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

17. When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they went.

18. As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.

19. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

22. And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the terrible crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above.
