And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the scroll, neither to look thereon.
All Commentaries on Revelation 5:3 Go To Revelation 5
Nicholas of Lyra
AD 1349
And no man was able, neither in heaven: The angels. nor on earth: Humans. nor under the earth: The demons in whom the natural things remain intact. to open the book: No one can understand the divine mysteries, unless God, who first revealed them to the human Christ and Christ to John, reveals them.
