Revelation 5
Godbey New Testament Par ▾ 

The Lamb Takes the Scroll

1And I saw upon the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne a book having been written within and without, having been sealed with seven seals. 2And I saw a mighty angel crying with a great voice, Who is able to open the book, and to loose its seals? 3And no one in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor beneath the earth, was able to open the book, and to look into it. 4And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it.

5And one of the elders says to me; Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered to open the book, and the seven seals.

6And I saw, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, the Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent into all the earth. 7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne. 8And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to receive the book, and to open its seals: because thou wast slain, and didst with thy blood redeem unto God out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10and didst make them a kingdom and priests unto our God: and they shall reign on the earth.

The Lamb Exalted

11And I saw, and I heard as it were a voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders: and their number was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands; 12saying with a great voice; Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing. 13And I heard all creation, which is in the heaven, and upon the earth, and beneath the earth, and in the sea, and all things which are in them, indeed saying, to the one sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honor, and glory, and dominion, unto the ages of the ages. 14And the four living creatures continued to say, Amen. And the elders fell and worshiped.
