| 5 | Revelation | ||
| 1 | Then I saw in the right hand of the One who sat on the throne a scroll, with writing inside and out, and it was sealed up with seven seals. | The Scroll and the Lamb Re.5.1-14 | |
| 2 | And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, 'Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?' | ||
| 3 | There was no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth able to open the scroll or to look inside it. | ||
| 4 | I was in tears because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look inside it. | ||
| 5 | But one of the elders said to me: 'Do not weep; for the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll and break its seven seals.' | ||
| 6 | Then I saw standing in the very middle of the throne, inside the circle of living creatures and the circle of elders, a Lamb with the marks of slaughter upon him. He had seven horns and seven eyes, the eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent out over all the world. | ||
| 7 | And the Lamb went up and took the scroll from the right hand of the One who sat on the throne. | ||
| 8 | When he took it, the four living creatures and s the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders had a harp, and they held golden bowls full of incense, the prayers of God's people, | ||
| 9 | and they were singing a new song: for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst purchase for God men of every tribe and language, people and nation; | ||
| 10 | thou hast made of them a royal house, to serve our God as priests; and they shall reign upon earth.' | ||
| 11 | Then as I looked I heard the voices of countless angels. These were all round the throne and the living creatures and the elders. Myriads upon myriads there were, thousands upon thousands, | ||
| 12 | and they cried aloud: to receive all power and wealth, wisdom and might, honour and glory and praise!' | ||
| 13 | Then I heard every created thing in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, all that is in them, crying: to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb for ever and ever!' | ||
| 14 | And the four living creatures said, 'Amen', and the elders fell down and worshipped. | ||
