And my Lord Jesus Christ our king said unto me: Let us go unto the holy mountain.

2And his disciples went with him, praying.

3And behold there were two men there, and we could not look upon their faces, for a light came from them, shining more than the sun, and their raiment also was shining, and cannot be described, and nothing is sufficient to be compared unto them in this world.

4And the sweetness of them . . . that no mouth is able to utter the beauty of their appearance (or, the mouth hath not sweetness to express, &c.), for their aspect was astonishing and wonderful.

5And the other, great, I say (probably: and, in a word, I cannot describe it), shineth in his (sic) aspect above crystal.

6Like the flower of roses is the appearance of the colour of his aspect and of his body . . . his head (al. their head was a marvel).

7And upon his (their) shoulders and on their foreheads was a crown of nard woven of fair flowers.

8As the rainbow in the water, so was their hair.

9And such was the comeliness of their countenance, adorned with all manner of ornament.

10And when we saw them on a sudden, we marvelled.
