Revelation 5:1-7

Revised Geneva Translation

5 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne, a Book; written within, and sealed on the backside with seven seals.

² And I saw a strong angel who preached with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and to loosen the seals thereof?”

³ And no one in Heaven or on Earth, or under the earth, was able to open the Book, or to look at it.

⁴ Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the Book, or to look at it.

⁵ And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion Which is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, and can open the Book, and loosen the seven seals thereof.”

⁶ Then I beheld. And lo, in the midst of the throne - and of the four beasts - and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb, as though He had been killed; Which had seven horns and seven eyes (which are the seven spirits of God, sent into all the world).

⁷ And He came and took the Book out of the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne.
