42 I, Ezra, saw on Mt. Tsiyon a great multitude, whom I couldn’t number, and they all praised the master with songs. 43 Among them, there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and on every one of their heads he set crowns, and he was more exalted than they were. I marvelled greatly at this. 44 So I asked the angel, and said, “What are these, my master?”

45 He replied to me, “These are those who’ve put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed God’s name. Now are they crowned, and receive palms.”

46 Then I said to the angel, “Who’s the young man who sets crowns on them, and gives them palms in their hands?”

47 So he replied to me, “He’s the Son of God, whom they’ve confessed in the world.”

Then I began to praise those who stood so valiantly for the master’s name.

48 Then the angel said to me, “Go your way, and tell my people what kind of things, and how great wonders of the master God you’ve seen.”
