Revelation 5:1-7

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.
