^9 (A)Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations ^[a]will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, ^(B)and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. ^10 (C)And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, ^(D)and send gifts to one another, ^(E)because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

The Witnesses Resurrected

^11 (F)Now after the three-and-a-half days ^(G)the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. ¹² And ^[b]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” ^(H)And they ascended to heaven ^(I)in a cloud, ^(J)and their enemies saw them.
