Revelation 5:2-14

2And I saw a 1strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 3And no one 2in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5And one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the 3Lion that is 4from the tribe of Judah, the 5Root of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6And I saw 6between the throne (with the four living creatures) and 7the elders a 8Lamb standing, as if 9slaughtered, having seven 10horns and 11seven eyes, which are 1213the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7And He came and took 14the scroll out of the right hand of Him who 15sat on the throne. 8When He had taken the scroll, the 16four living creatures and the 17twenty-four elders 18fell down before the 19Lamb, each one holding a 20harp and 21golden bowls full of incense, which are the 22prayers of the 23saints. 9And they sang a 24new song, saying, “25Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were 26slaughtered, and You 27purchased people for God with Your blood from 28every tribe, language, people, and nation. 10You have made them into a 29kingdom and 30priests to our God, and they will 31reign upon the earth.”

11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels 32around the throne and the 33living creatures and the 34elders; and the number of them was 3536myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12saying with a loud voice, “37Worthy is the 38Lamb that was 39slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.” 13And I heard 40every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying, “To Him who 41sits on the throne and to the 42Lamb 43be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.” 14And the 44four living creatures were saying, “45Amen.” And the 46elders 47fell down and worshiped.
