Revelation 5:1-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Book with Seven Seals

5 I saw ^[a]in the right hand of Him who ^(A)sat on the throne a ^[b](B)book written inside and on the back, ^(C)sealed up with seven seals. ² And I saw a ^(D)strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the ^[c]book 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 ^[d]book or to look into it. ⁴ Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the ^[e]book or to look into it; ⁵ and one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the ^(F)Lion that is ^(G)from the tribe of Judah, the ^(H)Root of David, has overcome so as to open the ^[f]book and its seven seals.”

⁶ And I saw ^[g]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^(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 book out of the right hand of Him who ^(P)sat on the throne.
