Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, “These who are dressed in white robes — who are they, and where have they come from?”
In context
11All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures. They fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever! Amen.” 13Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, “These who are dressed in white robes — who are they, and where have they come from?” 14I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15That is why they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
