Revelation 5:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

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