Revelation 4:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And [a]immediately I was ravished [b]in the spirit, [c]and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat upon the throne.
3 [d]And he that sat, was to look upon, like unto a Jasper stone, and a sardine, and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like to an emerald.
4 [e]And round about the throne were four and twenty seats, and upon the seats I saw four and twenty Elders sitting, clothed in white raiment, and had on their heads crowns of gold.
