Revelation 5:1-3

Contemporary English Version

The Scroll and the Lamb

5 ^(A) In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll^[a] that had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in seven places. ² I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” ³ No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.
