The Revelation to John, Chapter 5
{5:1} I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book
written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. {5:2} I saw
a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open
the book, and to break its seals?" {5:3} No one in heaven above, or on
the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look
in it. {5:4} And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open
the book, or to look in it. {5:5} One of the elders said to me, "Don't
weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of
David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals." {5:6}
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. {5:7} Then he came, and he took
it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. {5:8} Now when
he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four
elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden
bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. {5:9} They
sang a new song, saying,
"You are worthy to take the book,
and to open its seals:
for you were killed,
and bought us for God with your blood,
out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
{5:10} and made us kings and priests to our God,
and we will reign on earth."
{5:11} I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels
around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the
number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of
thousands; {5:12} saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who
has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor,
glory, and blessing!"
{5:13} I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth,
under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him
who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor,
the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! [1>]Amen![<1]"
{5:14} The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The [2]elders fell
down and worshiped.[3]
