Revelation 5:1-7 ▼

1 And I saw a scroll on the right hand of Him who is sitting on the throne, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;

2 and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one was able in Heaven, nor on the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.

4 And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold 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 to loose its seven seals”;

6 and I saw, and behold, 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, which are sent to all the earth,

7 and He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting on the throne.
