The Sealed Scroll and the Worthy Lamb

Revelation 5:1-14

5
Chapter 5
1 And I saw in the right hand of the one sitting on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a great voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seals?" 3 No one in heaven, nor on the earth, nor under the earth was able to open the book or to look at it. 4 I was weeping much because no one worthy was found to open the book or to look at it. 5 And one of the elders says to me, "Do not weep. Behold, he has overcome—the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David—to open the scroll and its seven seals." 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 having been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took it from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. 8 And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. 9 and they sing a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain and you purchased for God by your blood people from every tribe and tongue and people and nation," 10 and you made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they reign on the earth. 11 I saw and heard a voice of many angels around the throne and of the living creatures and of the elders, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. 12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing." 13 Every creature in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying: "To the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb, the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might unto the ages of the ages." 14 And the four living creatures said, "Amen." And the elders fell and worshiped.
