Revelation of John 5

The Scroll with Seven Seals

1 I saw ^{▼▼Lit upon}in the right hand of Him who ^bsat on the throne a ^{▼▼Or book, and so throughout the ch
,} ^dscroll written inside and on the back, ^esealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a ^fstrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 3 And no one ^gin heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the ^hLion that is ⁱfrom the tribe of Judah, the ^jRoot of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 And I saw ^{▼▼Lit in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders}between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^lthe elders a ^mLamb standing, as if ⁿslaughtered, having seven ^ohorns and ^pseven eyes, which are ^{▼▼Possibly a symbolic reference to the Holy Spirit in His fullness, or to seven key angels
,} ^rthe seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took ^sthe scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^tsat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the scroll, the ^ufour living creatures and the ^vtwenty-four elders ^wfell down before the ^xLamb, each one holding a ^yharp and ^zgolden bowls full of incense, which are the ^aaprayers of the ^{▼▼Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s people}saints. 9 And they *sang a ^acnew song, saying,

“ ^adWorthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were ^aeslaughtered, and You ^afpurchased people for God with Your blood from ^agevery tribe, language, people, and nation. 10 You have made them into a ^ahkingdom and ^aipriests to our God, and they will ^ajreign upon the earth.”

Angels Exalt the Lamb

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels ^akaround the throne and the ^alliving creatures and the ^amelders; and the number of them was ^{▼▼Gr for 10,000s of 10,000s
,} ^aomyriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

“ ^apWorthy is the ^aqLamb that was ^arslaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
13 And I heard ^asevery created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,

“To Him who ^atsits on the throne and to the ^auLamb ^avbe the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the ^awfour living creatures were saying, “ ^axAmen.” And the ^ayelders ^azfell down and worshiped.
