9bAfterbthisbl saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the theine, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, whobsitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the ancients. and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and adored God,
12 Saying: Amen. Benediction, and glory, and wisdom, and Thanksgiving. honour, and power, and strength to our God for wver and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the ancients answered. and said to me These that are clothed in white robes, whi are they? and whence came they?
15 And l said to him: My Lors, thouvknowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore they ate before the throne of Gid. and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he, that sitteth on the throne, shall dwell over them.
16 They shall no more hunger nor thirst, neither shall the sun fall on them, nor any heat.
17 For that Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall rule them and shall lead them to the fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
