Greek text · Archambault 2:56–58

Ὅτι δὲ καὶ ἄγγελοι καὶ δυνάμεις εἰσίν, οἷς ὁ λόγος ὁ τῆς προφητείας τῆς διὰ Δαυΐδ ἐπᾶραι τὰς πύλας, ἵνα εἰσέλθῃ οὗτος ὁ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστὰς κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός, Ἰησους Χριστός, ὁ λόγος τοῦ Δαυῒδ ὁμοίως ἀπέδειξεν, οὗ καὶ πάλιν ἐπιμνησθήσομαι διὰ τούτους τοὺς μὴ καὶ χθὲς συνόντας ἡμῖν, διʼ οὓς καὶ πολλὰ τῶν χθὲς εἰρημένων ἐπὶ κεφαλαίων λέγω.

English · Claude translation

“And that there are angels and powers, whom the word of the prophecy through David commands to lift up the gates, so that this Lord of hosts, Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead, may enter according to the will of the Father, the word of David has likewise shown; which I will recall again for the sake of these who were not with us yesterday, for whose sake I also summarize many of the things said yesterday.
