[[Revelation 4|<< Revelation 4]] | [[Revelation|Revelation]] | [[Revelation 6|Revelation 6 >>]] ### Revelation 5 1 AND I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. ^1 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? ^2 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. ^3 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. ^4 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. ^5 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. ^6 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. ^7 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four _and_ twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. ^8 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; ^9 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. ^10 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ^11 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ^12 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, _be_ unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. ^13 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four _and_ twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever. ^14
