Revelation 5:1-14: Worthy

Then I saw in the right hand

Of him who was seated on the throne

A scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals

And I saw a mighty angel

Proclaiming with a loud voice

Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals

And no one in heaven

Or on earth

Or under the earth

Was able to open the scroll or to look into it

And I began to weep loudly

Because no one was found worthy

To open the scroll or to look into it

And one of the elders said to me

Weep no more

Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah

The Root of David, has conquered

So that he can open the scroll and its seven seals

And between the throne

And the four living creatures

And among the elders

I saw a Lamb standing

As though it had been slain

With seven horns and with seven eyes

Which are the sevenfold Spirit of God

Sent out into all the earth

And he went and took the scroll

From the right hand

Of him who was seated on the throne

And when he had taken the scroll

The four living creatures

And the twenty-four elders fell down

Before the Lamb

Each holding a harp

And golden bowls full of incense

Which are the prayers of the saints

And they sang a new song, saying

Worthy are you to take the scroll

And to open its seals

For you were slain

And by your blood you ransomed people for God

From every tribe and language

And people and nation

And you have made them a

Kingdom and priests to our God

And they shall reign on the earth

Then I looked

And I heard around the throne

And the living creatures

And the elders

The voice of many angels

Numbering myriads of myriads

And thousands of thousands

Saying with a loud voice

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

To receive power and wealth

And wisdom and might

And honor and glory and blessing

And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea

And all that is in them, saying

To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb

Be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever

To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb

Be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever

And the four living creatures said, "Amen" and the elders fell down and worshiped
