I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
2.1
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?”
3.1
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.
4.1
Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it.
5.1
One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”
6.1
I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lambstanding, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
8.1
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-foureldersfell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9.1
They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, and made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign on the earth.”
11.1
I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice,
12.1
“Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
13.1
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying,
13.2
“To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!”
14.1
The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
Chapter 6
1.1
I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”
2.1
Then a white horse appeared, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
4.1
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” Another came out: a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to takepeace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
5.1
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius , and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”
7.1
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.
9.1
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
12.1
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14.1
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15.1
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
16.1
They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”
Chapter 5
1
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
8
