Revelation 5 - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012(CEVUK)

A scroll with seven sealsThe scroll and the Lamb

1In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll that had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in seven places. and ‘King David's Great Descendant’ has won the victory. He will open the book and its seven seals.”

6Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the centre of the throne that was surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth.

7The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne.

8After he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders knelt down before him. Each of them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people.

“You are worthy

to receive the scroll

and open its seals,

because you were killed.

And with your own blood

you bought for God

people from every tribe,

language, nation, and race.

10You let them become kings

and serve God as priests,

and they will rule on earth.”

11As I looked, I heard the voices of a lot of angels around the throne and the voices of the living creatures and of the elders. There were millions and millions of them,Dn 7.10.

12and they were saying in a loud voice,

“The Lamb who was killed

is worthy to receive power,

riches, wisdom, strength,

honour, glory, and praise.”

13Then I heard all beings in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea offer praise. Together, all of them were saying,

“Praise, honour, glory,

and strength

for ever and ever

to the one who sits

on the throne

and to the Lamb!”

14The four living creatures said “Amen”, while the elders knelt down and worshipped.
