Revelation 5:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 Then I saw a powerful angel. He said with a loud voice, ‘Who is so good that they can break the seals? Who can open the book?’ 3 But nobody in heaven could open the book and look inside it. Neither could anyone on the earth or anyone under the earth open it.[a]
4 I wept much because there was nobody who was good enough. Nobody was so good that they could open the book. Nobody could look inside it.
