Revelation Chapter 5 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne [1†]a scroll written inside and on the back, [2†]sealed with seven seals.

² Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, [3†]“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

³ And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

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

⁵ But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, [4†]the Lion of the tribe of [5†]Judah, [6†]the Root of David, has [7†]prevailed to open the scroll [8†]and to loose its seven seals.”

⁶ And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood [9†]a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and [10†]seven eyes, which are [11†]the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

⁷ Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand [12†]of Him who sat on the throne.

⁸ Now when He had taken the scroll, [13†]the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the [14†]prayers of the saints.

⁹ And [15†]they sang a new song, saying: [16†]“You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And [17†]have redeemed us to God [18†]by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

¹⁰ And have made us [19†]kings and [20†]priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”

¹¹ Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

¹² saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

¹³ And [21†]every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: [22†]“Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him [23†]who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

¹⁴ Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
