12 And a spirit* proceeded to bear me along+ and I began to hear behind me the sound of a great rushing:+ “Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place.”+

3 Then he thrust out the representation of a hand+ and took me by a tuft of hair of my head, and a spirit*+ carried me between the earth and the heavens and brought me to Jerusalem in the visions of God,+ to the entrance of the inner gate+ that is facing northward, where the dwelling place is of the symbol of jealousy that is inciting to jealousy.+

2 I know a man in union with Christ who, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows—was caught away+ as such to the third heaven.
