9After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen."
13One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?"
14I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb`s blood.
15Therefore are they before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
