Revelation 5:1-3

Good News Translation

The Scroll and the Lamb

5 ^(A)I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who sits on the throne; it was covered with writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. ² And I saw a mighty angel, who announced in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” ³ But there was no one in heaven or on earth or in the world below^[a] who could open the scroll and look inside it.
