Revelation 5

1And I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

3And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look at it.

4And I was weeping greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

5And one of the elders says to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

7And he came and took it from the right hand of the one seated on the throne.

8And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9And they sing a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and by your blood you purchased for God people from every tribe and language and people and nation,”

10and you made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they reign on the earth.

11And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

12saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

13And I heard every creature in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

14And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
