    1The Opening of the Scroll Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back and sealed with seven seals.

    2And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice:“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”

    3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.

    4So I began weeping bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

    8and when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders threw themselves to the ground before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense(which are the prayers of the saints).
