Revelation of John 5:5-9

5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, ^athe Lion ^bof the tribe of Judah, ^cthe Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw ^da Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with ^eseven eyes, which are ^fthe seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders ^gfell down before the Lamb, ^heach holding a harp, and ⁱgolden bowls full of incense, ^jwhich are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang ^ka new song, saying,

“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for ^lyou were slain, and by your blood ^myou ransomed people for God
from ⁿevery tribe and language and people and nation,

Revelation of John 5:12-13

12 saying with a loud voice,

^o“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard ^pevery creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in 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!”

Revelation of John 7:9-17

A Great Multitude from Every Nation

9 After this I looked, and behold, ^qa great multitude that no one could number, ^rfrom every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^sclothed in white robes, with ^tpalm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, ^u“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and ^vthe four living creatures, and they ^wfell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 ^xsaying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, ^yclothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of ^zthe great tribulation. ^aaThey have washed their robes and ^abmade them white ^acin the blood of the Lamb.

15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and ^adserve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne ^aewill shelter them with his presence.
16 ^afThey shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
^agthe sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne ^ahwill be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of ^ailiving water,
and ^ajGod will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
