Revelation 5:3-5
5:3 But
no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.
5:4 So
I began weeping bitterly
because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.
5:5 Then
one of the elders said
to me, “Stop weeping!
Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered;
thus he can open
the scroll and its seven seals.”
Revelation 5:9
5:9 They were singing a new song:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals
because you were killed,
and at the cost of your own blood you have purchased for God
persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
