⁴ He says, whose ears are open to the words of God, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down, but having his eyes open:

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,

²⁸ Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.

⁶ And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

¹ As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

² I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

³ And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),

⁴ How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

¹⁷ And it came about that when I had come back to Jerusalem, while I was at prayer in the Temple, my senses became more than naturally clear,

¹⁹ And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.

¹⁰ And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;

¹⁵ And after he had said these words to me, I kept my face turned to the earth and was unable to say anything.

¹⁶ Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.

²⁶ And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future.

²⁷ And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.

¹⁷ So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.

¹⁸ Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been.

¹⁹ Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.

²⁴ And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

³¹ Then the Lord made Balaam's eyes open, and he saw the angel of the Lord in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth.

²⁰ And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

¹² Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.

¹ After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.
