The Scroll and the Lamb
1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sits on the throne a scroll written on the inside and *outside 80.2% ¦ on the back SBL TH TR WH 8.9%outside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 But no one in heaven †above 56% ¦ — ANT CT PCK TR 43.1%above or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. 4 So I began to weep loudly because no one was found who was worthy to ‡open 65.3% ¦ open and read PCK TR 28.2%open the scroll or look inside it. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has §conquered; he is the one who can 41.7% ¦ conquered so as to ANT CT PCK TR 53.5%conquered; he is the one who can open the scroll *and 94% ¦ and break TR 4.6%and its seven seals.”
6 Then I †saw 87.1% ¦ looked, and behold, there was TR 9.7%saw a Lamb that looked like it had been slain; he was standing among the elders in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne. 8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song:
“Worthy are yoʋ to take the scroll
and open its seals,
for yoʋ were slain, and by yoʋr blood yoʋ redeemed ‡us for God out of 89.1% ¦ us out of MSS 7% ¦ for God people from SBL WH 0.4%us for God
out of every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.
10 Yoʋ have made §them 97.2% ¦ us TR 1.4%them *kings 93.7% ¦ to be a kingdom CT 5.1%kings and priests to our God,
and †they will 60.3% ¦ they SBL WH 35.8% ¦ we will TR 3.1%they will reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard ‡something like 76.5% ¦ — CT TR 23.5%something like the voice of many angels surrounding the throne, the living creatures, and the §elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, and they 97.2% ¦ elders. And thousands of thousands ST 0%elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 and they were saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength,
honor, glory, and blessing!”
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb,
be blessing and honor, glory and power,
forever and ever! *Amen. 74.2% ¦ — ANT CT TR 19.6%Amen.”
14 And †I heard the four living creatures 44.5% ¦ the four living creatures were ANT CT TR 41.3% ¦ {omit And I heard the four living creatures saying, “Amen.”} MSS 5%I heard the four living creatures saying, “Amen.” And the ‡elders 97.2% ¦ twenty-four elders TR 1.8%elders fell down and §worshiped 97.3% ¦ worshiped him who lives forever and ever TR 1.4%worshiped.
