Revelation 5:6-8
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
6 And there between the throne and the four living creatures (beings) and among the elders [[a]of the heavenly Sanhedrin] I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [[b]the sevenfold Holy Spirit] Who have been sent [on duty far and wide] into all the earth.(A)
7 He then went and took the scroll from the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne.
8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders [[c]of the heavenly Sanhedrin] prostrated themselves before the Lamb. Each was holding a harp (lute or guitar), and they had golden bowls full of incense (fragrant spices and gums for burning), which are the prayers of God’s people (the saints).
