Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And in the night in which the Lord's day was drawing on, as the soldiers kept guard two by two in a watch, there was a great voice in the heaven; and they saw the heavens opened, and two men descend from thence with great light and approach the tomb.

2And that stone which was put at the door rolled of itself and made way in part; and the tomb was opened, and both the young men entered in.
