The Scroll and the Lamb

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:1 - Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:2 - And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:3 - And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:4 - and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:5 - And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:6 - And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:7 - And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:8 - And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:9 - And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:10 - and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:11 - Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:12 - saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:13 - And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:14 - And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
