13. For Beliar harboured great wrath against Isaiah on account of the vision and of the exposure with which he had exposed Sammael, and because through him the coming forth of the Beloved from the seventh heaven had been revealed, and his transformation, his descent and the likeness into which he was to be transformed, namely, the likeness of a man, and the persecution which he was to suffer, and the tortures with which the children of Israel were to afflict him, and (the coming) of the twelve disciples (and the) instruction, (and that he should before the Sabbath be crucified on the tree) and that he was to be crucified together with criminals, and the he would be buried in a sepulchre, 14. and that the twelve who were with him would be offended because of him, and the watch of the guards of the grave, 15. and the descent of the angel of the church which is in the heavens, whom he will summon in the last days; 16. and that the angel of the Holy Spirit and Michael, the chief of the holy angels, would open his grave on the third day, 17. and that the Beloved, sitting on their shoulders, will come forth and send out his twelve disciples, 18. and that they will teach to all the nations and every tongue the resurrection of the Beloved, and that those who believe on his cross will be saved, and in his ascension to the seventh heaven, whence he came; 19. and that many who believe in him will speak in [the power of] the Holy Spirit, 20. and that many signs and wonders will take place in those days; 21. and afterwards, that many signs and wonders will take place in those days; 21. and afterwards, when he is at hand, his disciples will forsake the teaching of the twelve apostles and their faith, their love and their purity, 22. and there will arise much contention about (his coming and) his appearing.
