Revelation 5:1-10
The Lamb Takes the Scroll
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
1:
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
2:
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
3:
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
4:
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
5:
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
6:
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
7:
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
8:
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
9:
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
10:
