Apocalypse
5
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne,
a book written within and without, sealed with seven
seals.
And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice:
Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof?
And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth,
nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on
it.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to
open the book, nor to see it.
And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold
the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals
thereof.
And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and
of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the
ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven
horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of
God, sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand
of him that sat on the throne.
And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures,
and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the
Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials
full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:
And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy,
O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof;
because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God,
in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people,
and nation.
And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and
we shall reign on the earth.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round
about the throne, and the living creatures, and the
ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,
Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is
worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and
strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.
And 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 all saying: To him that
sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction,
and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever.
And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four
and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored
him that liveth for ever and ever.
