Then he said to the disciples,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You will see heaven open. You will see the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”

又说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，你们将要看见天开了，神的使者上去下来在人子身上。”

他又说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，你们将要看见天开了，上帝的使者在人子身上，上去下来。”

他又说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，你们将要看见天开了，神的使者在人子身上，上去下来。”

我实实在在地告诉你们，你们会看见天门敞开，上帝的天使以人子为梯上上下下。”

又对他说：“我实实在在告诉你们，你们要看见天开了，神的众使者在人子的身上，上去下来。”

耶稣又对他说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：你们将会看见天敞开了，神的天使们在人子上头，上去下来。”

又說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們將要看見天開了，神的使者上去下來在人子身上。」

他又說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們將要看見天開了，上帝的使者在人子身上，上去下來。」

他又說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們將要看見天開了，神的使者在人子身上，上去下來。」

我實實在在地告訴你們，你們會看見天門敞開，上帝的天使以人子為梯上上下下。」

又對他說：“我實實在在告訴你們，你們要看見天開了，神的眾使者在人子的身上，上去下來。”

又對他說：『我實實在在地告訴你們，你們這就要看見天開着，上帝的使者在人子身上、上上下下呢！』

耶穌又對他說：「我確確實實地告訴你們：你們將會看見天敞開了，神的天使們在人子上頭，上去下來。」

又曰、我誠語汝、爾將見天開、上帝之使、陟降於人子上矣、

又曰、我誠告爾、爾將見天開、上帝使者、陟降於人子上矣、

又曰、我誠告爾、爾將見天開、而天主之使者、陟降於人子上矣、

既又謂之曰：『我實語爾、爾曹將見上天洞開、而天主之神使升降於人子之上焉。』

He then added,“ Very truly I tell you, you will see‘ heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

And he said to him,“ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Then he said,“ I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.”

Then he said,“ Truly I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

And He* said to him,“ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

And He said to him,“ Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Then He said,“ I assure you: You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

He continued,“ I tell all of you the solemn truth– you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

He said to him,“ Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

In a dream he saw a stairway standing on the earth. Its top reached to heaven. The angels of God were going up and coming down on it.

“ Look!” he said.“ I see heaven open. The Son of Man is standing at God’s right hand.”

The Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory. His angels will come with him. And he will reward everyone in keeping with what they have done.“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened. Jesus saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened.

I was 30 years old. I was with my people. We had been taken away from our country. We were by the Kebar River in the land of Babylon. On the fifth day of the fourth month, the heavens were opened. I saw visions of God.

Jesus was coming up out of the water. Just then he saw heaven being torn open. Jesus saw the Holy Spirit coming down on him like a dove.

An angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and gave him strength.

“ I am,” said Jesus.“ And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One. You will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven also appeared. They were praising God. They said,

I saw heaven standing open. There in front of me was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True. When he judges or makes war, he is always fair.

He saw heaven open up. There he saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down to earth by its four corners.

“ The Son of Man will come in all his glory. All the angels will come with him. Then he will sit in glory on his throne.

“ In my vision I saw one who looked like a son of man. He was coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Eternal God. He was led right up to him.And he was given authority, glory and a kingdom. People of all nations, no matter what language they spoke, worshiped him. His authority will last forever. It will not pass away. His kingdom will never be destroyed.

An angel of the Lord appeared to them. And the glory of the Lord shone around them. They were terrified.

There is no doubt that true godliness comes from this great mystery. Jesus came as a human being. The Holy Spirit proved that he was the Son of God. He was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations. People in the world believed in him. He was taken up to heaven in glory.

Then the devil left Jesus. Angels came and took care of him.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who believes in me will do the works I have been doing. In fact, they will do even greater things. That’s because I am going to the Father.

After this I looked, and there in front of me was a door standing open in heaven. I heard the voice I had heard before. It sounded like a trumpet. The voice said,“ Come up here. I will show you what must happen after this.”

No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven. He is the Son of Man.Moses lifted up the snake in the desert. In the same way, the Son of Man must also be lifted up.

Enoch was the seventh man in the family line of Adam. He gave a prophecy about these people. He said,“ Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones.

They will be destroyed forever. They will be shut out of heaven. They will never see the glory of the Lord’s strength.

All angels are spirits who serve. God sends them to serve those who will receive salvation.

While he was going up, they kept on looking at the sky. Suddenly two men dressed in white clothing stood beside them.“ Men of Galilee,” they said,“ why do you stand here looking at the sky? Jesus has been taken away from you into heaven. But he will come back in the same way you saw him go.”

“ What I’m about to tell you Pharisees is true. What if someone does not enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in another way? That person is a thief and a robber.

He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All these things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with his powerful angels.

The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands over the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

They were wondering about this. Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them.

“ As I watched,“ thrones were set in place. The Eternal God took his seat. His clothes were as white as snow. The hair on his head was white like wool. His throne was blazing with fire. And flames were all around its wheels.A river of fire was flowing. It was coming out from in front of God. Thousands and thousands of angels served him. Millions of them stood in front of him. The court was seated. And the books were opened.

But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”

What I’m about to tell you is true. Everyone who believes has life forever.

What I’m about to tell you is true. When you were younger, you dressed yourself. You went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands. Someone else will dress you. Someone else will lead you where you do not want to go.”

Jesus went to the area of Caesarea Philippi. There he asked his disciples,“ Who do people say the Son of Man is?”They replied,“ Some say John the Baptist. Others say Elijah. Still others say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”“ But what about you?” he asked.“ Who do you say I am?”Simon Peter answered,“ You are the Messiah. You are the Son of the living God.”

“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. They will not be judged. They have crossed over from death to life.What I’m about to tell you is true. A time is coming for me to give life. In fact, it has already begun. The dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear it will live.

Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. It is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven. It is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he spoke to the man who could not walk.“ Get up,” he said.“ Take your mat and go home.”

Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. The Son can do nothing by himself. He can do only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.

Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can enter God’s kingdom unless they are born with water and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus replied,“ Foxes have dens. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

“ My sword, wake up! Attack my shepherd! Attack the man who is close to me,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ Strike down the shepherd. Then the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn my hand against their little ones.

What I’m about to tell you is true. A slave is not more important than his master. And a messenger is not more important than the one who sends him.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who accepts someone I send accepts me. And anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”After he had said this, Jesus’ spirit was troubled. He said,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. One of you is going to hand me over to my enemies.”

What I’m about to tell you is true. You will weep and mourn while the world is full of joy. You will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.

And the Father has given him the authority to judge. This is because he is the Son of Man.

Jesus replied,“ The time has come for the Son of Man to receive glory.What I’m about to tell you is true. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only one seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Whoever obeys my word will never die.”

Jesus replied,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can see God’s kingdom unless they are born again.”

Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You must eat the Son of Man’s body and drink his blood. If you don’t, you have no life in you.

So Jesus said again,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. I am like a gate for the sheep.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus answered.“ Before Abraham was born, I am!”

Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You are not looking for me because you saw the signs I did. You are looking for me because you ate the loaves until you were full.

Then Jesus answered,“ Will you really give your life for me? What I’m about to tell you is true. Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you don’t know me!

When that day comes, you will no longer ask me for anything. What I’m about to tell you is true. My Father will give you anything you ask for in my name.

Jesus replied,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
