Revelation 7:9-17

Tree of Life Version

Countless Worshipers Before the Throne

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, a vast multitude that no one could count—from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues—was standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with palm branches^[a] in their hands ¹⁰ and crying out with a loud voice, saying,

¹¹ And all the angels were standing around the throne, along with the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying,

¹³ Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where have they come from?”

I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

¹⁴ Then he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.^[b] They have washed their robes and made them white^[c] in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ For this reason, they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His Temple. The One seated on the throne will shelter them. ^{[d] 16} They shall never again go hungry, nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. ^{[e] 17} For the Lamb in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them and guide them to springs of living water, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.”^[f]
