Men Descend from Heaven

Gospel of Peter (Combined Fragments) · Fragment 9 of 14 · 1 passages

1When the morning of the Sabbath dawned, a crowd from Jerusalem and the surrounding countryside went to see the grave that had been sealed. But during the night before the Lord’s Day dawned, while the soldiers kept watch two by two as guards, a great voice came from heaven. They saw the heavens open, and two men descended from there, shining with great radiance, and approached the tomb. The stone that had been placed at the entrance rolled away by itself and moved partly aside. The tomb opened, and both young men went in.
