Revelation 5:3-10

3And noG3762 oneG3762 1in heavenG3772 orG3761 on the earthG1093 orG3761 underG5270 the earthG1093 was ableG1410 to openG455 the scrollG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 4ThenG2532 I began to weepG2799 greatlyG4183 becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the scrollG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 5And oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saidG3004 to me, “StopG3361 weepingG2799; beholdG2400, the 2LionG3023 that is 3from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the 4RootG4491 of DavidG1160, has overcomeG3528 so as to be able to openG455 the scrollG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 5betweenG1722 G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 6the eldersG4245 a 7LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 8slaughteredG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 9hornsG2768 and 10sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 11 12the sevenG2033 spiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sentG649 outG649 into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 13the scroll out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 14satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the scrollG975, the 15fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 16twenty-fourG1501 G5064 eldersG4245 17fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 18LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2192 a 19harpG2788 and 20goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 21prayersG4335 of the 22saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 23newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “24WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the scrollG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 25slaughteredG4969, and You 26purchasedG59 people for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 from 27everyG3956 tribeG5443, languageG1100, peopleG2992, and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them into a 28kingdomG932 and 29priestsG2409 to our GodG2316, and they will 30reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”
