1 And I saw in the right hand of the One seated upon the throne a scroll, written on both the front and the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 I also saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”
3 No one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.
4 I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.
5 Then one of the elders tells me, “Stop weeping! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed—He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
