Revelation 5

¹And I saw in the right hand of the One seated on the throne a scroll written on the inside 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 to break its seals?" ³And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or even to look at it. ⁴And I was weeping bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look at it.

⁵Then one of the elders said to me: "Stop weeping! Look—the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered so as to open the scroll and its seven seals."

⁶And I saw, in the center of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the center of the elders, a Lamb standing as though slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes—which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷And he came and took the scroll 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 one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. ⁹And they sing a new song, saying: "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slaughtered and by your blood you purchased people for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, ¹⁰and you made them a kingdom and priests for our God, and they reign upon the earth."

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard the sound of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders—and their number was myriads upon myriads and thousands upon thousands— ¹²saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!"

¹³And every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and upon the sea—and all that is in them—I heard 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 said, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worshiped.
