3. But there was no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth who could open the scroll or look inside it.
4. I cried and cried because there was no one who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.
5. But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry! The Lion from the tribe of Judah has won the victory. He is David’s descendant. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6. Then I saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne with the four living things around it. The elders were also around the Lamb. The Lamb looked as if he had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes. These are the seven spirits of God that were sent into all the world.
7. The Lamb came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.
