A Great Multitude from Every Nation

9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, ^zfrom every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the ^aLamb, clothed in ^bwhite robes, with ^cpalm branches in their hands,

13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the ^hgreat tribulation. They have ⁱwashed their robes and made them ^jwhite in the blood of the Lamb.
