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.
