⁹ I asked, “What are these, my lord?”

The angel who was talking to me replied, “I will show you what they are.”

¹⁹ So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?”

And he said to me, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

⁵ Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Look, the Lion from the tribe of Judah,^(A) the Root of David,^(B) has conquered^(C) so that he is able to open the scroll and^[a] its seven seals.”

¹³ Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people in white robes, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴ I said to him, “Sir,^[a] you know.”

Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.^(A) They washed their robes and made them white^(B) in the blood of the Lamb.
