Revelation 5:2–10
2 And I saw a astrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the 1book and to break its seals?”
3 And no one ain heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the 1book or to look into it.
4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the 1book or to look into it;
5 and one of the elders * said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the aLion that is bfrom the tribe of Judah, the cRoot of David, has overcome so as to open the 1book and its seven seals.”
6 And I saw 1between the throne (with the four living creatures) and athe elders a bLamb standing, as if cslain, having seven dhorns and eseven eyes, which are fthe seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
7 And He came and took athe book out of the right hand of Him who asat on the throne.
8 When He had taken the 1book, the afour living creatures and the btwenty-four elders cfell down before the dLamb, each one holding a eharp and fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the gprayers of the 2saints.
9 And they * sang a anew song, saying,
“bWorthy are You to take the 1book and to break its seals; for You were cslain, and dpurchased for God with Your blood men from eevery tribe and tongue and people and nation.
10 “You have made them to be a akingdom and apriests to our God; and they will breign upon the earth.”
