Revelation 5:2-14

2And I sawG3708 a 1strongG2478 angelG32 proclaimingG2784 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “WhoG5101 is worthyG514 to openG455 the 2bookG975 and to breakG3089 its sealsG4973?” 3And noG3762 oneG3762 3in heavenG3772 orG3761 on the earthG1093 orG3761 underG5270 the earthG1093 was ableG1410 to openG455 the 4bookG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 4ThenG2532 I began to weepG2799 greatlyG4183 becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the 5bookG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it; 5and oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saidG3004 to me, “StopG3361 weepingG2799; beholdG2400, the 6LionG3023 that is 7from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the 8RootG4491 of DavidG1160, has overcomeG3528 so as to openG455 the 9bookG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 10betweenG1722G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 11the eldersG4245 a 12LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 13slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 14hornsG2768 and 15sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 16the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316, sentG649 out into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 17the book out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 18satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the 19bookG975, the 20fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 21twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 22fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 23LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2198 a 24harpG2788 and 25goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 26prayersG4335 of the 27saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 28newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “29WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the 30bookG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 31slainG4969, and 32purchasedG59 for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 men from 33everyG3956 tribeG5443 and tongueG1100 and peopleG2992 and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them to be a 34kingdomG932 and 35priestsG2409 to our GodG2316; and they will 36reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”

11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 37aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and the 38livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 39eldersG4245; and the numberG706 of them was 40myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461, and thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505, 12sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “41WorthyG514 is the 42LambG721 that was 43slainG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411 and richesG4149 and wisdomG4678 and mightG2479 and honorG5092 and gloryG1391 and blessingG2129.” 13And 44everyG3956 createdG2938 thingG2938 whichG3739 is in heavenG3772 and on the earthG1093 and underG5270 the earthG1093 and on the seaG2281, and allG3956 thingsG3956 in them, I heardG191 sayingG3004, “To Him who 45sitsG2521 on the throneG2362, and to the 46LambG721, 47be blessingG2129 and honorG5092 and gloryG1391 and dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165.” 14And the 48fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 kept sayingG3004, “49AmenG281.” And the 50eldersG4245 51fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipedG4352.
