1 He seeth the Lamb opening the book, 8.14 And therefore the four beasts, the 24 elders, and the Angels praise the Lamb, and do him worship 9 For their redemption and other benefits.

1.And I saw in the right hand of him that sat upon the throne, ^aa Book written within, and on the backside, sealed with ^bseven seals.

2.And I saw a strong Angel which preached with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3.And no man is heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the Book neither to look thereon.

4.Then I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open, and read the Book, neither to look thereon.

5.And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the *lion which is of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath obtained to open the Book, and to lose the seven seals thereof.

6.Then I beheld, and lo, in the middes of the throne, and of the four beasts, and in the middes of the elders, stood ^ca Lamb as though he had been killed, which had ^dseven horns, and ^eseven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent into all the world.

7.And he came, and took the Book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8.And when he had taken the Book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elders ^ffell down before the Lamb, having every one harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the ^gprayers of the Saints,

9.And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the Book, and to open the seals thereof, because thou wast killed, & hast ^hredeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation,

10.And hast made us unto our God *Kings and Priest, and we shall ⁱreign on the earth.

11.Then I beheld, and I heard the voice of many Angels round about the throne and about the beasts and the elders, and there were *thousand thousands,

12.Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the *Lamb that was killed to receive power and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and praise.

13.And all the creatures which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I, saying, Praise and honour, and glory, and power be unto him, that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forevermore.

14.And the four beasts said, Amen, & the four & twenty Elders fell down, & worshipped him that liveth for ever more.
