Book of Revelation, Chapter 5
Revelation 5 NASB - New American Standard BibleChapter 5 of Revelation—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ I saw [a]in the right hand of Him who 1sat on the throne a [b]2book written inside and on the back, 3sealed up with seven seals.
- And I saw a 4strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the [c]book and to break its seals?”
- And no one 5in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the [d]book or to look into it.
- Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the [e]book or to look into it;
- and one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the 6Lion that is 7from the tribe of Judah, the 8Root of David, has overcome so as to open the [f]book and its seven seals.”
- ¶ And I saw [g]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and 9the elders a 10Lamb standing, as if 11slain, having seven 12horns and 13seven eyes, which are 14the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
- And He came and took 15the book out of the right hand of Him who 16sat on the throne.
- When He had taken the [h]book, the 17four living creatures and the 18twenty-four elders 19fell down before the 20Lamb, each one holding a 21harp and 22golden bowls full of incense, which are the 23prayers of the [i]saints.
- And they *sang a 24new song, saying,
¶ “25Worthy are You to take the [j]book and to break its seals; for You were 26slain, and 27purchased for God with Your blood men from 28every tribe and tongue and people and nation. - ¶ “You have made them to be a 29kingdom and 30priests to our God; and they will 31reign upon the earth.”
- ¶ Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels 32around the throne and the 33living creatures and the 34elders; and the number of them was 35myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,
- saying with a loud voice,
¶ “36Worthy is the 37Lamb that was 38slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” - ¶ And 39every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,
¶ “To Him who 40sits on the throne, and to the 41Lamb, 42be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” - ¶ And the 43four living creatures kept saying, “44Amen.” And the 45elders 46fell down and worshiped.
