| + | 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and | ||
| + | tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; | ||
| + | |||
| + | 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their | ||
| + | faces, and worshipped God, | ||
| + | |||
| + | 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever | ||
| + | and ever. Amen. | ||

| + | 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? | ||
| + | |||
| + | 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed | ||
| + | their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall | ||
| + | dwell among them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God | ||
| + | shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. | ||
