Uppenbarelseboken 2:11 SKB

Du som har ett [andligt] öra, lyssna på vad Anden säger till församlingarna. Den som segrar ska inte på något sätt skadas av den andra döden [eldsjön, se ].” [Betyder: äktenskap, upphöjd. I dag: Bergama, sju mil norr om Smyrna. När Johannes skriver detta brev har Pergamon varit huvudstad för Mindre Asien i 300 år. Känd för uppfinningen av pergamentet som fått sitt namn från staden. Materialet bereddes av djurhudar och blev det konkurrerande skrivmaterialet till det tidigare, i Egypten, använda papyrus. Staden var inflytelserik med världens då näst största bibliotek. Den grekiske historikern Plutarchus skriver att det innehöll 200 000 titlar. I Pergamon tillbads många gudar, bl.a. den största grekiska guden Zeus och läkekonstens gud Asklepios vars symbol var ormen. Många vallfärdade hit för att övernatta i Asklepios-templet där man fick sova bland ormar som ansågs tala i drömmar som de ockulta prästerna sedan tolkade.]
