Revelation 5:1-5 ▼

1 Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back and sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: |Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?|

3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.

4 So I began weeping bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

5 Then one of the elders said to me, |Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; thus he can open the scroll and its seven seals.|
