8 Therefore it says,
f“When he ascended on high ghe led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”1

17 vWhen I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But vhe laid his right hand on me, wsaying, “Fear not, xI am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. yI died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and zI have the keys of Death and Hades.
