The glorious vision of the angel dazzled the eyes of the disciples. They remembered the mount of transfiguration, the glory that encircled Jesus in the temple, and the voice of God issuing from the cloud. They saw the same glory here revealed, and had no farther fear for their Master, since God had taken him in charge and an angel was present to protect him from his foes. They were weary and heavy with sleep, and again they dropped into unconsciousness. {3SP 101.3}

Den herlighed, som omgav englen, blændede disciplenes øjne. De erindrede (102) forklarelsens bjerg, den herlighed, som omgav Jesus i templet, og Guds røst, som lød fra skyen. De så her den samme herlighed åbenbaret og havde ingen videre frygt for deres Mester, eftersom Gud havde taget sig af ham, og en engel var til stede for at beskytte ham mod hans fjender. De var meget trætte og søvnige og faldt atter i søvn.
