² And immediately I was in the spirit, and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and there was one seated upon the throne.

³ And he that was seated was like a jasper and a sardine stone to look upon; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

⁴ And round about the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
