In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;

And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
