* 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 .
