Revelation 7:9-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁹After this I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and kindreds and peoples and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with long white robes and palms in their hands

¹⁰and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation unto him who is seated upon the throne of our God and unto the Lamb.

¹¹And all the angels stood round about the throne and about the elders and the four animals; and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshipped God,

¹²saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹³¶ And one of the elders responded and asked me, Who are these who are arrayed in long white robes? and where did they come from?

¹⁴And I said unto him, lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are those who came out of great tribulation and have washed their long robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that is seated on the throne shall dwell among them.

¹⁶They shall hunger no more neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun be thrust upon them nor any other heat.

¹⁷For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall govern them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 7:9-17

New International Version

The Great Multitude in White Robes

⁹After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,^(A) standing before the throne^(B) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes^(C) and were holding palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,^(D)
who sits on the throne,^(E)
and to the Lamb.”

¹¹All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders^(F) and the four living creatures.^(G) They fell down on their faces^(H) before the throne and worshiped God, ¹²saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”^(I)

¹³Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes^(J)—who are they, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes^(K) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.^(L) ¹⁵Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God^(M)
    and serve him^(N) day and night in his temple;^(O)
and he who sits on the throne^(P)
    will shelter them with his presence.^(Q)
¹⁶‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.^(R)
The sun will not beat down on them,’^[a]
    nor any scorching heat.^(S)
¹⁷For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;^(T)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’^[b]^(U)
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’^[c]”^(V)
