And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
