Revelation 5
1ThenG2532 I sawG3708 a scrollG975 inG1909 theG3588 right handG1188 of theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362. It had writingG1125 on both sidesG2081G2532G3693 and was sealedG2696 with sevenG2033 sealsG4973. 2AndG2532 I sawG3708 a mightyG2478 angelG32 proclaimingG2784 inG1722 a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “Who isG5101 worthyG514 to breakG3089 theG846 sealsG4973 andG2532 openG455 theG3588 scrollG975?”
3But no oneG3762 inG1722 heavenG3772 or onG1909 earthG1093 or underG5270 theG3588 earthG1093 was ableG1410 to openG455 theG3588 scrollG975 or look insideG991 itG846. 4AndG2532 IG1473 began to weepG2799 bitterlyG4183, becauseG3754 no oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 theG3588 scrollG975 or look insideG991 itG846.
5ThenG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 eldersG4245 saidG3004 to meG1473, “Do notG3361 weepG2799! BeholdG2400, theG3588 LionG3023 ofG1537 theG3588 tribeG5443 of JudahG2448, theG3588 RootG4491 of DavidG1138, has triumphedG3528 to openG455 theG3588 scrollG975 andG2532 itsG846 sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”
6ThenG2532 I sawG3708 a LambG721 who appearedG5613 to have been slainG4969, standingG2476 inG1722 the centerG3319 of theG3588 throneG2362, encircled by theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245. The Lamb hadG2192 sevenG2033 hornsG2768 andG2532 sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 representG1510 theG3588 sevenG2033 spiritsG41511 of GodG2316 sent outG649 intoG1519 allG3956 theG3588 earthG1093. 7AndG2532 He cameG2064 andG2532 tookG2983 the scroll fromG1537 theG3588 right handG1188 of theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362.
WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 theG3588 scrollG975, theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 andG2532 theG3588 twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 fell downG4098 beforeG1799 theG3588 LambG721. Each oneG1538 hadG2192 a harpG2788, and they were holdingG2532 goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 areG1510 theG3588 prayersG4335 of theG3588 saintsG40. 9AndG2532 they sangG103 a newG2537 songG5603:
The Lamb Exalted
11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, andG2532 I heardG191 the voicesG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 encirclingG2945 theG3588 throneG2362, andG2532 theG3588 living creaturesG2226 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245. AndG2532 theirG846 numberG706 wasG1510 myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461 andG2532 thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505. 12In a loud voiceG5456G3173 they were sayingG3004:
13AndG2532 I heardG191 everyG3956 creatureG2938 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 andG2532 underG5270 theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 inG1909 theG3588 seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3588 is inG1722 themG846, sayingG3004:
14AndG2532 theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 saidG2036, “AmenG281,” andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshipedG4352.3
