Revelation 5
NASB
Reve 5:1
&
I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
Reve 5:2
&
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?"
Reve 5:3
&
And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.
Reve 5:4
&
Then I {began} to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it;
Reve 5:5
&
and one of the elders *said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."
Reve 5:6
&
And I saw (Lit {in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders}) between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
Reve 5:7
&
And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
Reve 5:8
&
When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Reve 5:9
&
And they *sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood {men} from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Reve 5:10
&
"You have made them {to be} a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."
Reve 5:11
&
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,
Reve 5:12
&
saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."
Reve 5:13
&
And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, {be} blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever."
Reve 5:14
&
And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped.
