Revelation 5:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ I cried ·bitterly [^Lmuch] 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! [^LLook; ^TBehold] The Lion from the tribe of Judah [^Ca messianic title; Gen. 49:9–10], ·David’s descendant [^Lthe root of David; ^Ca messianic title applied to Christ; Is. 11:10], has ·won the victory [overcome; conquered] so that he is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

⁶ Then I saw a Lamb [^CJesus] standing ·in the center of the throne and in the middle of the four living creatures and the elders [or between the throne and the living creatures and among the elders]. The Lamb looked as if he had been ·killed [slaughtered; slain]. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God [^Ceither angels or the “sevenfold Spirit”; see 1:4] that were sent into all the world.
