14But they saw only the light, which shot forth many light-rays. And the light-rays were not like one another, but the light was of divers kinds, and it was of divers types, from below upwards, one [ray] more excellent than the other, [. . .] , in one great immeasurable glory of light; it stretched from under the earth right up to heaven. And when the disciples saw that light, they fell into great fear and great agitation.CHAPTER 31. It came to pass then, when that light-power had come down over Jesus, that it gradually surrounded him entirely.

While they then said this and wept together, then, on the ninth hour of the morrow, the heavens opened, and they saw Jesus descend, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure for his light in which he was. For he shone more [radiantly] than at the hour when he had ascended to the heavens, so that men in the world cannot describe the light which was on him; and it shot forth light-rays in great abundance, and there was no measure for its rays, and its light was not alike together, but it was of divers kind and of
