Revelation 5:1-7 ▼

1 And I saw on the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne a scroll, written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one in heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, nor to see it.

4 And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, nor to see it.

5 And one of the elders says to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 And 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 slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent out into all the earth.

7 And He came and took it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.
