New Testament
Revelation 5
The Scroll With Seven Seals
51And I saw a scroll in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, with writing on the front[] 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 by breaking its seals?” 3No one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4And I began to weep bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed and is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Worthy Is the Lamb
6And I saw a Lamb standing in the center, near the throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. The Lamb seemed to have been slain, and he had seven horns and seven eyes (these are the seven spirits of God that have been sent into all the world). 7The Lamb came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8And when the Lamb took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls full of incense (these are the prayers of the saints). 9And they sang a new song, saying:
You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
out of every tribe and language and people and nation.
and they will reign on the earth.
11And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels who were around the throne and around the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands upon thousands. 12With a loud voice they were saying:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive
power and riches and
wisdom and strength and
honor and glory and blessing.
13I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever.
14The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders bowed down and worshipped.
