δεῖ δέ σε παρʼ ἐμοῦ ἀκριβέστερον πάντα μαθεῖν. εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ ἐδόθην ὑπὸ τοῦ ἐνδόξου ἀγγέλου εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου κατοικῆσαι, ἵνα δυνατῶς πάντα ἴδῃς, μηδὲν δειλαινόμενος καὶ ὡς τὸ πρότερον.

English · Claude translation

but you must learn everything more exactly from me. For this is why I was given by the glorious angel to dwell in your house, so that you might see everything powerfully, not being afraid in anything as before.
