If they are of some other god than You, tell
me; and if they are sent by you, inform me of the reason
for which You have sent them."
12 No sooner had Adam said this, than an angel from
God appeared to him in the cave, who said to him, "O Adam,
fear not. This is Satan and his hosts; he wishes to
deceive you as he deceived you at first. For the first
time, he was hidden in the serpent; but this time he is
come to you in the likeness of an angel of light; in order
that, when you worshipped him, he might enslave you, in the
very presence of God."
13 Then the angel went from Adam and seized Satan at
the opening of the cave, and stripped him of the pretense
he had assumed, and brought him in his own hideous form to
Adam and Eve; who were afraid of him when they saw him.
14 And the angel said to Adam, "This hideous form has
been his ever since God made him fall from heaven. He
could not have come near you in it; he therefore
transformed himself into an angel of light."
15 Then the angel drove away Satan and his hosts from
Adam and Eve, and said to them, "Fear not; God who created
you, will strengthen you.
