The Scroll and the Lamb

5I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who sits on the throne; it was covered with writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.G2532G1492G1909G1188G2521G1909G2362G975G1125G2081G2532G3693G2696G2033G4973
2And I saw a mighty angel, who announced in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"G2532G1492G2478G32G2784G3173G5456G5101G2076G514G455G975G2532G3089G4973G846
3But there was no one in heaven or on earth or in the world below who could open the scroll and look inside it.G2532G3762G1722G3772G3761G1909G1093G3761G5270G1093G1410G455G975G3761G991G846
4I cried bitterly because no one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.G2532G1473G2799G4183G3754G3762G2147G514G455G2532G314G975G3777G991G846
5Then one of the elders said to me, "Don't cry. Look! The Lion from Judah's tribe, the great descendant of David, has won the victory, and he can break the seven seals and open the scroll."G2532G1520G1537G4245G3004G3427G2799G3361G2400G3023G5607G1537G5443G2455G4491G1138G3528G455G975G2532G3089G2033G4973G846
6Then I saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb appeared to have been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that have been sent through the whole earth.G2532G1492G2532G2400G1722G3319G2362G2532G5064G2226G2532G1722G3319G4245G2476G721G5613G4969G2192G2033G2768G2532G2033G3788G3739G1526G2033G4151G2316G649G1519G3956G1093
7The Lamb went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.G2532G2064G2532G2983G975G1537G1188G2521G1909G2362
8As he did so, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God's people.G2532G3753G2983G975G5064G2226G2532G5064G1501G4245G4098G1799G721G2192G1538G2788G2532G5552G5357G1073G2368G3739G1526G4335G40
9They sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to break open its seals. For you were killed, and by your sacrificial death you bought for God people from every tribe, language, nation, and race.G2532G103G2537G5603G3004G1488G514G2983G975G2532G455G4973G846G3754G4969G2532G59G2248G2316G1722G4675G129G1537G3956G5443G2532G1100G2532G2992G2532G1484
10You have made them a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they shall rule on earth."G2532G4160G2248G2257G2316G935G2532G2409G2532G936G1909G1093
11Again I looked, and I heard angels, thousands and millions of them! They stood around the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders,G2532G1492G2532G191G5456G4183G32G2943G2362G2532G2226G2532G4245G2532G706G846G2258G3461G3461G2532G5505G5505
12and sang in a loud voice: "The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength, honor, glory, and praise!"G3004G3173G5456G514G2076G721G4969G2983G1411G2532G4149G2532G4678G2532G2479G2532G5092G2532G1391G2532G2129
13And I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, in the world below, and in the sea - all living beings in the universe - and they were singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honor, glory and might, forever and ever!"G2532G3956G2938G3739G2076G1722G3772G2532G1722G1093G2532G5270G1093G2532G3739G2076G1909G2281G2532G3956G1722G846G191G3004G2129G2532G5092G2532G1391G2532G2904G2521G1909G2362G2532G721G1519G165G165
14The four living creatures answered, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worshiped.G2532G5064G2226G3004G281G2532G5064G1501G4245G4098G2532G4352G2198G1519G165G165
