Revelation 5:1–9
1 I saw 1in the right hand of Him who asat on the throne a 2bbook written inside and on the back, csealed up with seven seals.
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.

| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
