[1] I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. [2] I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?” [3] No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it. [4] Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it. [5] One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.” [6] I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. [7] Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. [8] Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. [9] They sang a new song, saying,
“You are worthy to take the book
and to open its seals,
for you were killed,
and bought us for God with your blood
out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
[10] and made us kings and priests to our God;
and we will reign on the earth.” [11] I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands, [12] saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!” [13] I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!”‡ [14] The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the‡ elders fell down and worshiped.‡

The Sealed Book

[1] And G2532 I saw G1492 in G1909 the G3588 right hand G1188 of him that G3588 sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 a book G975 written G1125 within G2081 and G2532 on the backside, G3693 sealed G2696 with seven G2033 seals. G4973 [2] And G2532 I saw G1492 a strong G2478 angel G32 proclaiming G2784 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 Who G5101 is G2076 worthy G514 to open G455 the G3588 book, G975 and G2532 to loose G3089 the G3588 seals G4973 thereof? G846 [3] And G2532 no man G3762 in G1722 heaven, G3772 nor G3761 in G1909 earth, G1093 neither G3761 under G5270 the G3588 earth, G1093 was able G1410 to open G455 the G3588 book, G975 neither G3761 to look G991 thereon. G846 [4] And G2532 I G1473 wept G2799 much, G4183 because G3754 no man G3762 was found G2147 worthy G514 to open G455 and G2532 to read G314 the G3588 book, G975 neither G3777 to look G991 thereon. G846 [5] And G2532 one G1520 of G1537 the G3588 elders G4245 saith G3004 unto me, G3427 Weep G2799 not: G3361 behold, G2400 the G3588 Lion G3023 of G1537 the G3588 tribe G5443 of Juda, G2448 the G3588 Root G4491 of David, G1138 hath prevailed G3528 G5607 to open G455 the G3588 book, G975 and G2532 to loose G3089 the G3588 seven G2033 seals G4973 thereof. G846 [6] And G2532 I beheld, G1492 and, G2532 lo, G2400 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 throne G2362 and G2532 of the G3588 four G5064 beasts, G2226 and G2532 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 elders, G4245 stood G2476 a Lamb G721 as G5613 it had been slain, G4969 having G2192 seven G2033 horns G2768 and G2532 seven G2033 eyes, G3788 which G3739 are G1526 the G3588 seven G2033 Spirits G4151 of God G2316 sent forth G649 into G1519 all G3956 the G3588 earth. G1093 [7] And G2532 he came G2064 and G2532 took G2983 the G3588 book G975 out of G1537 the G3588 right hand G1188 of him that G3588 sat G2521 upon G1909 the G3588 throne. G2362 [8] And G2532 when G3753 he had taken G2983 the G3588 book, G975 the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 and G2532 four G5064 and twenty G1501 elders G4245 fell down G4098 before G1799 the G3588 Lamb, G721 having G2192 every one of them G1538 harps, G2788 and G2532 golden G5552 vials G5357 full G1073 of odours, G2368§ which G3739 are G1526 the G3588 prayers G4335 of saints. G40 [9] And G2532 they sung G103 a new G2537 song, G5603 saying, G3004 Thou art G1488 worthy G514 to take G2983 the G3588 book, G975 and G2532 to open G455 the G3588 seals G4973 thereof: G846 for G3754 thou wast slain, G4969 and G2532 hast redeemed G59 us G2248 to God G2316 by G1722 thy G4675 blood G129 out of G1537 every G3956 kindred, G5443 and G2532 tongue, G1100 and G2532 people, G2992 and G2532 nation; G1484 [10] and G2532 hast made G4160 us G2248 unto our G2257 God G2316 kings G935 and G2532 priests: G2409 and G2532 we shall reign G936 on G1909 the G3588 earth. G1093 [11] And G2532 I beheld, G1492 and G2532 I heard G191 the voice G5456 of many G4183 angels G32 round about G2943 the G3588 throne G2362 and G2532 the G3588 beasts G2226 and G2532 the G3588 elders: G4245 and G2532 the G3588 number G706 of them G846 was G2258 ten thousand G3461 times ten thousand, G3461 and G2532 thousands G5505 of thousands; G5505 [12] saying G3004 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 Worthy G514 is G2076 the G3588 Lamb G721 that G3588 was slain G4969 to receive G2983 power, G1411 and G2532 riches, G4149 and G2532 wisdom, G4678 and G2532 strength, G2479 and G2532 honour, G5092 and G2532 glory, G1391 and G2532 blessing. G2129 [13] And G2532 every G3956 creature G2938 which G3739 is G2076 in G1722 heaven, G3772 and G2532 on G1722 the G3588 earth, G1093 and G2532 under G5270 the G3588 earth, G1093 and G2532 such as G3739 are G2076 in G1909 the G3588 sea, G2281 and G2532 all G3956 that G3588 are in G1722 them, G846 heard I G191 saying, G3004 Blessing, G2129 and G2532 honour, G5092 and G2532 glory, G1391 and G2532 power, G2904 be unto him that G3588 sitteth G2521 upon G1909 the G3588 throne, G2362 and G2532 unto the G3588 Lamb G721 for G1519 ever G165 and ever. G165 [14] And G2532 the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 said, G3004 Amen. G281 And G2532 the G3588 four G5064 and twenty G1501 elders G4245 fell down G4098 and G2532 worshipped G4352 him that liveth G2198 for G1519 ever G165 and ever. G165
