Revelation 5:4 Revelation 5:4. And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look thereon. It appears that St. John was very much troubled, for he wept much: The servant of the Lord was very sensible, what a loss it would be to him, and to the church of God, if this sealed book should not be unsealed, and the mysterial prophecies therein should not be opened; therefore he wept and mourned.
