After 40 years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.

“This Moses, whom they rejected when they said, Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?—this one God sent as a ruler and a redeemer by means of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

He is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness together with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors. He received living oracles to give to us.

An angel of the Lord spoke to Philip: “Get up and go south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is the desert road.)

About three in the afternoon he distinctly saw in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, “Cornelius!”
