1 Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back and sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”
3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.
4 So I began weeping bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; thus he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw standing in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
