Apocalypsis Liber 11: 4-12

11:4	These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing in the sight of the lord of the earth.
11:5	And if anyone will want to harm them, fire shall go forth from their mouths, and it shall devour their enemies. And if anyone will want to wound them, so must he be slain.
11:6	These have the power to close up the heavens, so that it may not rain during the days of their prophesying. And they have power over the waters, to convert them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of affliction as often as they will.
11:7	And when they will have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended from the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and will kill them.
11:8	And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the Great City, which is figuratively called ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ the place where their Lord also was crucified.
11:9	And those from the tribes and peoples and languages and nations shall be watching their bodies for three and one half days. And they shall not permit their bodies to be placed in tombs.
11:10	And the inhabitants of the earth will rejoice over them, and they will celebrate, and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tortured those who were living upon the earth.
11:11	And after three and one half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upright on their feet. And a great fear fell over those who saw them.
11:12	And they heard a great voice from heaven, dicens eis, “Ascend to here!” And they ascended into heaven on a cloud. And their enemies saw them.

Evangelium'

The Gospel According to Luke 20: 27-40

20:27	Nunc aliquam tristique, qui negant esse resurrectionem, accessit ei. Et interrogaverunt eum,
20:28	dicens: "Magister, Moyses scripsit pro nobis: Si quis frater mortuus fuerit, habens uxorem, et si liberos non habuerit, et frater eius accipiat eam in uxorem, et suscitabit semen fratri suo.
20:29	Erant itaque septem fratres. et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est sine filiis.
20:30	Et altera accepit eam, et mortuus est sine filio.
20:31	Et tertius accepit eam, et similiter omnes septem, et nemo eorum reliquit semen, et uterque mortuus est.
20:32	Novissime omnium, et mulier mortuus est.
20:33	In resurrectione, tunc ", cui uxor illa erit? Septem enim omnes habuerunt eam uxorem.
20:34	Itaque, Jesus dixit eis: "Filii huius aetatis nubent et in matrimonium dantur".
20:35	Sed vere, qui digni fuerint illo tempore, et resurrectionis mortuorum, neque erit nupta, nec uxores.
20:36	Non enim possunt amplius mori. sunt enim Angelis aequales, et filii dei sunt, cum sint filii resurrectionis.
20:37	Nam in veritate, mortui resurgunt, sicut etiam Moyses ostendit iuxta rubum, quando vocavit Dominum: 'Deus Abraham', et Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob.
20:38	non est ergo Deus mortuorum, sed viventium. Omnes enim illi viventes sunt.
20:39	Tunc quidam scribarum, in responsum, dixit ei, "Magister, bene dixisti."
20:40	Et amplius non audebant eum quidquam interrogare.
