The Scroll and the Lamb

5 Then I saw ^[a]in the right hand of Him who ^(A)sits on the throne a ^(B)scroll written inside and on the back, ^(C)sealed up with seven seals. ² Then I saw a ^(D)strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” ³ And no one ^(E)in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. ⁴ Then I was crying greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. ⁵ And one of the elders *said to me, “Stop crying! Behold, the ^(F)Lion that is ^(G)from the tribe of Judah, the ^(H)Root of David, has overcome so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

⁶ Then I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and in the midst of ^(I)the elders a ^(J)Lamb standing, as if ^(K)slain, having seven ^(L)horns and ^(M)seven eyes, which are ^(N)the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. ⁷ And He came and took ^(O)the scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^(P)sits on the throne.
