10:16 Then 1 one who appeared to be a human being 2 was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, 3 due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength.
10:17 How, sir, am I able to speak with you? 4 My strength is gone, 5 and I am breathless.”
