1 Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the ^tLamb, and with him ^u144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name ^vwritten on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven ^wlike the roar of many waters and ^xlike the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing a ^ynew song before the throne and before the ^zfour living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been ^aredeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as ^bfirstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and ^cin their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.
