who sitteth upon the throne and to the Lamb.

7:11. 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,

7:12. Saying: Amen. Benediction and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving,
honour and power and strength, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.

7:13. And one of the ancients answered and said to me: These that are
clothed in white robes, who are they? And whence came they?

7:14. And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These

robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

7:15. Therefore, they are before the throne of God: and they serve him

7:16. They shall no more hunger nor thirst: neither shall the sun fall

shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
