⁵ Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and [break] its seven seals.”^(A)

⁶ And there ^[a]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and among the elders I saw a Lamb (Christ) standing, [bearing scars and wounds] as though it had been slain, with seven horns (complete power) and with seven eyes (complete knowledge), which are ^[b]the seven Spirits of God who have been sent [on duty] into all the earth.^{(B) 7} And He came and ^[c]took the scroll from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
