Revelation 5:3

The Lamb Takes the Scroll

2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.4And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
