Revelation 20:4

20:4 Then ⁶  I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. ⁷  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 ⁸  had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They ⁹  came to life ¹⁰  and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
