1Then <2532> I saw <1492> in <1909> the right hand <1188> of the one who was seated <2521> on <1909> the throne <2362> a scroll <975> written <1125> on the front <2081> and <2532> back <3693> and sealed <2696> with seven <2033> seals <4973>.
2And <2532> I saw <1492> a powerful <2478> angel <32> proclaiming <2784> in <1722> a loud <3173> voice <5456>: “Who <5101> is worthy <514> to open <455> the scroll <975> and <2532> to break <3089> its <846> seals <4973>?”
3But <2532> no one <3762> in <1722> heaven <3772> or <3761> on <1909> earth <1093> or <3761> under <5270> the earth <1093> was able <1410> to open <455> the scroll <975> or <3777> look into <991> it <846>.
4So <2532> I <1473> began weeping <2799> bitterly <4183> because <3754> no one <3762> was found <2147> who was worthy <514> to open <455> the scroll <975> or <3777> to look into <991> it <846>.
5Then <2532> one <1520> of <1537> the elders <4245> said <3004> to me <3427>, “Stop <3361> weeping <2799>! Look <2400>, the Lion <3023> of the tribe <5443> of Judah <2448>, the root <4491> of David <1138>, has conquered <3528>; thus he can open <455> the scroll <975> and <2532> its <846> seven <2033> seals <4973>.”
6Then <2532> I saw <1492> standing <2476> in <1722> the middle <3319> of the throne <2362> and <2532> of the four <5064> living creatures <2226>, and <2532> in <1722> the middle <3319> of the elders <4245>, a Lamb <721> that appeared to have been killed <4969>. He had <2192> seven <2033> horns <2768> and <2532> seven <2033> eyes <3788>, which <3739> are <1510> the seven <2033> spirits <4151> of God <2316> sent out <649> into <1519> all <3956> the earth <1093>.
7Then <2532> he came <2064> and <2532> took <2983> the scroll from <1537> the right hand <1188> of the one who was seated <2521> on <1909> the throne <2362>,
8and <2532> when <3753> he had taken <2983> the scroll <975>, the four <5064> living creatures <2226> and <2532> the twenty-four <1501> <5064> elders <4245> threw <4098> themselves to the ground <4098> before <1799> the Lamb <721>. Each of them <1538> had <2192> a harp <2788> and <2532> golden <5552> bowls <5357> full <1073> of incense <2368> (which <3739> are <1510> the prayers <4335> of the saints <40>).
9They were singing <103> a new <2537> song <5603>: “You are <1510> worthy <514> to take <2983> the scroll <975> and <2532> to open <455> its <846> seals <4973> because <3754> you were killed <4969>, and <2532> at <1722> the cost of your own <4675> blood <129> you have purchased <59> for God <2316> persons from <1537> every <3956> tribe <5443>, language <1100>, people <2992>, and <2532> nation <1484>.
10You have appointed <4160> them <846> as a kingdom <932> and <2532> priests <2409> to serve our <2257> God <2316>, and <2532> they will reign <936> on <1909> the earth <1093>.”
11Then <2532> I looked <1492> and <2532> heard <191> the voice <5456> of many <4183> angels <32> in a circle around <2945> the throne <2362>, as well as the living creatures <2226> and <2532> the elders <4245>. Their <846> number <706> was <1510> ten thousand times ten thousand– thousands times thousands <3461> <3461> <2532> <5505> <5505>–
12all of whom were singing <3004> in a loud <3173> voice <5456>: “Worthy <514> is <1510> the lamb <721> who was killed <4969> to receive <2983> power <1411> and <2532> wealth <4149> and <2532> wisdom <4678> and <2532> might <2479> and <2532> honor <5092> and <2532> glory <1391> and <2532> praise <2129>!”
13Then <2532> I heard <191> every <3956> creature <2938>– in <1722> heaven <3772>, on <1909> earth <1093>, under <5270> the earth <1093>, in <1909> the sea <2281>, and <2532> all <3956> that is <1510> in <1722> them <846>– singing <3004>: “To the one seated <2521> on <1909> the <3588> throne <2362> and <2532> to the <3588> Lamb <721> be praise <2129>, honor <5092>, glory <1391>, and <2532> ruling power <2904> forever <165> and <1519> ever <165>!”
14And <2532> the four <5064> living creatures <2226> were saying <3004> “Amen <281>,” and <2532> the elders <4245> threw <4098> themselves to the ground <4098> and <2532> worshiped <4352>.
