Revelation 7:9-17

New American Standard Bible

A Multitude from the Tribulation

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from ^(A)every nation and all the tribes, peoples, and languages, standing ^(B)before the throne and ^(C)before the Lamb, clothed in ^(D)white robes, and ^(E)palm branches were in their hands; ¹⁰ and they *cried out with a loud voice, saying,

¹¹ And all the angels were standing ^(H)around the throne and around ^(I)the elders and the ^(J)four living creatures; and they ^(K)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying,

¹³ Then one of the elders ^(O)responded, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the ^(P)white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?” ¹⁴ I ^[a]said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the ^(Q)great tribulation, and they have ^(R)washed their robes and made them ^(S)white in the ^(T)blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ For this reason they are ^(U)before the throne of God, and they ^(V)serve Him day and night in His ^[b](W)temple; and ^(X)He who sits on the throne will spread His ^(Y)tabernacle over them. ^16 (Z)They will no longer hunger nor thirst, nor will the sun ^[c]beat down on them, nor any scorching heat; ¹⁷ for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their ^(AA)shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the ^[d](AB)water of life; and ^(AC)God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
