Revelation 5

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals.2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?3 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon:5 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof.6 And 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 forth into all the earth.7 And he came, and he taketh it out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.8 And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.9 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,10 and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth.

11 And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;12 saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might and honor, and glory, and blessing.

13 And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things are in them, heard I saying, Unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever.

14 And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.

Revelation 5

The Opening of the Scroll

1 Thent I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and backt and sealed with seven seals.t2 And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”3 Butt no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.4 Sot I began weeping bitterlyt because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

5 Thent one of the elders saidt to me, “Stop weeping!t Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered;t thus he can opent the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Thent I saw standing in the middle of the thronet and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been killed.t He hadt seven horns and seven eyes, whichs are the sevens spirits of Gods sent out into all the earth.7 Thent he came and took the scrollt from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne,8 and when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders threw themselves to the groundt before the Lamb. Eacht of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense (which are the prayers of the saints).s

9 They were singing a new song:t
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals
because you were killed,t
and at the cost of your own bloodt you have purchaseds for God
personst from every tribe, language,t people, and nation.

10 You have appointedt thems as a kingdom and priestst to servet our God, and they will reigns on the earth.”
11 Thent I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Theirt number was ten thousand times ten thousandt – thousands times thousands –

12 all of whomt were singingt in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the lamb who was killedt
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and praise!”

13 Thent I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing:t
“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and ruling powert forever and ever!”

14 And the four living creatures were saying “Amen,” and the elders threw themselves to the groundt and worshiped.
