Then I saw an angel descend from heaven with the key of the abyss and a huge chain in his hand;

who dwelt among the tombs; by this time no one could bind him, not even with a chain,

This is my reason for asking to see you and have a word with you. I am wearing this chain because I share Israel's hope."

But whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe in me, better for him to have a great mill-stone hung round his neck and be sunk in the deep sea.

So he got up and went off to his father. But when he was still far away his father saw him and felt pity for him and ran to fall upon his neck and kiss him.

it would be well for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and be flung into the sea, rather than prove a hindrance to one of these little ones!

And whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck and be thrown into the sea.

Well now, why are you trying to impose a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we ourselves could bear?

They all broke into loud lamentation and falling upon the neck of Paul kissed him fondly,

for he had often been bound with fetters and chains and had snapped the chains and broken the fetters ??nobody could tame him.
