They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.9After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were robed in white with palm branches in their hands.
10And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”10And they cried out in a loud voice: Salvation belongs to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!
11And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,11All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,

13Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”13Then one of the elders asked me, "Who are these people robed in white, and where did they come from?"
14“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.14I said to him, "Sir, you know." Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.15For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary. The One seated on the throne will shelter them:
16‘Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat.’16They will no longer hunger; they will no longer thirst; the sun will no longer strike them, nor will any heat.
17For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. ‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ ”17For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne will shepherd them; He will guide them to springs of living waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
