Revelation 5

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]

5:1 And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who [is] worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?

5:3 And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.

5:4 And *I* wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.

5:5 And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals.

5:6 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 slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth:

5:7 and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

5:8 And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

5:9 And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

5:10 and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.

5:11 And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands;

5:12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

5:13 And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages.

5:14 And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
