Revelation 5:2-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

² And I saw a ^(A)strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the ^[a]book and to break its seals?” ³ And no one ^(B)in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the ^[b]book or to look into it. ⁴ Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the ^[c]book or to look into it; ⁵ and one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the ^(C)Lion that is ^(D)from the tribe of Judah, the ^(E)Root of David, has overcome so as to open the ^[d]book and its seven seals.”
