I looked, and behold, a white horse, and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

And out came a horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and to him was given a great sword.

When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come." And I looked, and behold, a black horse; and its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.

I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and its rider's name was Death, and Hades was following him. And they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits on the horse and against his army.

And the rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
