3Jeshua stood in front of the angel. He was wearing clothes that were very dirty. 4The angel spoke to those who were standing near him. He said, “Take his dirty clothes off.”

He said to Jeshua, “I have taken your sin away. I will put fine clothes on you.”

5I added, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they did. And they dressed him while the angel of the Lord stood by.
