Revelation 5:4-6
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 And I wept audibly and bitterly because no one was found fit to open the scroll or to inspect it.
5 Then one of the elders [[a]of the heavenly Sanhedrin] said to me, Stop weeping! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won (has overcome and conquered)! He can open the scroll and break its seven seals!(A)
6 And there between the throne and the four living creatures (beings) and among the elders [[b]of the heavenly Sanhedrin] I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [[c]the sevenfold Holy Spirit] Who have been sent [on duty far and wide] into all the earth.(B)
