Tap a verse to highlight it

1 And I saw at the right hand of him who sits on the throne a book, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a powerful agent proclaiming in a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals of it?

3 And none in heaven above nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book or to see in it.

4 And I wept much because none was found worthy to open the book or to see in it.

5 And one of the elders says to me, Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the book and the seven seals of it.

6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, like it had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God being sent forth into all the earth.

7 And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who sits on the throne.

8 And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls containing incense, which are the prayers of the sanctified.

9 And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

10 And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth.

11 And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the living creatures and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,

12 saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been killed to receive the power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing!

13 And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly!

14 And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.
