And I saw a ^(C1)strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?"

And no one ^(C1)in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.

Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

And one of the elders ^(*)said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the ^(C1)Lion that is ^(C2)from the tribe of Judah, the ^(C3)Root of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals."

And I saw ^(F1)between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^(C1)the elders a ^(C2)Lamb standing, as if ^(C3)slaughtered, having seven ^(C4)horns and ^(C5)seven eyes, which are ^(F2)(C6)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

And He came and took ^(C1)the scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^(C1)sat on the throne.

When He had taken the scroll, the ^(C1)four living creatures and the ^(C2)twenty-four elders ^(C3)fell down before the ^(C4)Lamb, each one holding a ^(C5)harp and ^(C6)golden bowls full of incense, which are the ^(C7)prayers of the ^(F1)saints.

And they ^(*)sang a ^(C1)new song, saying, "^(C2)Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were ^(C3)slaughtered, and You ^(C4)purchased people for God with Your blood from ^(C5)every tribe, language, people, and nation.
