Revelation 6:1

Jesus
Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a thunderous voice, “Come!”

2 So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.

3 And when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
