And the disciples having seen that light, they became in great fear and
in great disturbance.
It happened therefore when the power of that light came upon Jesus, it
surrounded him entirely (by) little (and) little. Then Jesus mounted up,
or flew, unto the Height having enlightened greatly greatly in light for
which there is not measure. And the disciples were looking [6^a] at him,
none of them speaking until he went up unto the heaven, but they were
all being in great silence. These (things) therefore happened on the
fifteen of the moon, the day on which is wont to be completed the month
of Tōbe.
It happened therefore Jesus having gone into the heaven, after three
hours were disturbed all the powers of the heavens, and they all quaked
against one another, they with all their Aeons with all their Places and
with all their arrays; and all the earth was moved with all those who
dwell upon it. And were disturbed all the men who (are) in the World
with the disciples also, and they were all thinking that perhaps [6^b]
will be rolled up the World. And had not ceased all the powers which
(are) in the heavens being disturbed, they with all the World, and they
were all being moved upon one another from three of the fifteen of the
moon of Tōbe even unto nine of the morrow. And all the Angels with their
Archangels and with all the Powers of the Height were all hymning unto
the inner part of the inner parts. So that all the earth heard their
voices, not ceasing even unto the nine of the morrow.
But the disciples were sitting with one another being in fear, and they
had been disturbed [7^a] greatly greatly, but they were fearing because
of the great earthquake which becometh, and they were weeping with one
another, saying, What then is it that will happen? Perhaps the Saviour
is about to overturn all the Places.
