1 I videh u desnici Onog što seđaše na prestolu knjigu napisanu iznutra i spolja, zapečaćenu sa sedam pečata. 2 I videh anđela jakog gde propoveda glasom velikim: Ko je dostojan da otvori knjigu i da razlomi pečate njene? 3 I niko ne mogaše ni na nebu ni na zemlji, ni pod zemljom da otvori knjige ni da zagleda u nju. 4 I ja plakah mnogo što se niko ne nađe dostojan da otvori i da pročita knjigu, niti da zagleda u nju. 5 I jedan od starešina reče mi: Ne plači, evo je nadvladao lav, koji je od kolena Judinog, koren Davidov, da otvori knjigu i razlomi sedam pečata njenih. 6 I videh, i gle, nasred prestola i četiri životinje, i posred starešina Jagnje stajaše kao zaklano, i imaše sedam rogova, i sedam očiju, koje su sedam duhova Božijih poslanih po svemu svetu. 7 I dođe i uze knjigu iz desnice Onog što seđaše na prestolu. 8 I kad uze knjigu, četiri životinje i dvadeset i četiri starešine padoše pred Jagnjetom, imajući svaki gusle, i zlatne čaše pune tamjana, koje su molitve svetih. 9 I pevahu pesmu novu govoreći: Dostojan si da uzmeš knjigu, i da otvoriš pečate njene; jer si se zaklao, i iskupio si nas Bogu krvlju svojom od svakog kolena i jezika i naroda i plemena, 10 I učinio si nas Bogu našem careve i sveštenike, i carovaćemo na zemlji. 11 I videh, i čuh glas anđela mnogih oko prestola i životinja i starešina, i beše broj njihov hiljada hiljada. 12 Govoreći glasom velikim: Dostojno je Jagnje zaklano da primi silu i bogatstvo i premudrost i jačinu i čast i slavu i blagoslov. 13 I svako stvorenje, što je na nebu, i na zemlji, i pod zemljom, i što je na moru, i što je u njima, sve čuh gde govore: Onome što sedi na prestolu, i Jagnjetu blagoslov i čast i slava i država va vek veka. 14 I četiri životinje govorahu: Amin. I dvadeset i četiri starešine padoše i pokloniše se Onome što živi va vek veka.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth." And again, he says, speaking of this very same Lamb: "And behold a white horse; …
Another example of the same is that a lion stands for Christ in the place where it is said, "The lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed;" and again, stands for the devil where it is written, "Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour." In the same way the serpent is …

For although they are done on earth, yet nevertheless they are worthy of the Heavens. For when our Lord Jesus Christ lies slain [as a sacrifice], when the Spirit is with us, when He who sitteth on the right hand of the Father is here, when sons are made by the Washing, when they are fellow-citizens of those in Heaven, …

yet both Christ and the devil are called "a lion." Christ is called "a lion:" "The Lion hath prevailed of the tribe of Judah;" and the devil is called a lion: "Know ye not that your adversary the Devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour?" Both the one and the other then is a lion; …
