Revelation 5:5
New King James Version
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, (A)the Lion of the tribe of (B)Judah, (C)the Root of David, has (D)prevailed to open the scroll (E)and [a]to loose its seven seals.”

Hebrews 7:14-16
New King James Version
14 For it is evident that (A)our Lord arose from (B)Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning [a]priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

Genesis 49:9-12
New King James Version
9 Judah is (A)a lion’s whelp;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
(B)He [a]bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
10 (C)The [b]scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor (D)a lawgiver from between his feet,
(E)Until Shiloh comes;
(F)And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
11 Binding his donkey to the vine,
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes are darker than wine,
And his teeth whiter than milk.
