‘Salvation-eager, as he hung on the Cross, the controller of angels [= God (= Christ)] looked warmly at me and told me to stop the weeping: “We shall see each other on the third day; be without doubt that I will rise up from death,” thus speaks the prince of bright suns [= God (= Christ)], “my mother, believe that; be mindful that I shall find you.”’
Cf. Mar (1871, 1008): þu ueitz þat, … at manz son skal deyia ok ꜳ þridia degi upp risa. Skalltu þa til sanz uita, moder, at ek skal þier birtazt ꜳ þridia degi ok minum astuinum. Lat af, min sæta moder, at grata ‘you know … that the son of man must die and rise up on the third day. You shall then know as the truth, mother, that I shall reveal myself to you and to my dear friends on the third day. Cease, my sweet mother, to weep’.
