Revelation 5:1-4 ▼

1 Then I saw a scroll (papyrus roll) in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a mighty angel (messenger) proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll (papyrus roll)?

3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll (papyrus roll) or look inside it.

4 And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll (papyrus roll) or look inside it.
