Revelation 5:3-5

New Century Version

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 bitterly 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^[a] from the tribe of Judah, David’s descendant, has won the victory so that he is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
