¹¹ Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.

⁵³ dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

¹⁴ are they not all spirits of service -- for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?

⁴³ And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders -- and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands --

¹² saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!'

⁶ and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him -- all messengers of God;'

⁶ and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God -- cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'
