Whereupon, I ascended from the furnace and stood before the king and his counselors who examined me closely but, behold, even mine hair was not singed.
2
Wherefore, the king caused garments from his own wardrobe to be brought and I was clothed therein and he caused me to be seated upon a throne at his right hand where my father was wont to sit and he said unto me, What of Haran thy brother who was cast into the furnace with thee?
3
Did the angels carry him away to some far place that he might be saved?
4
But I replied unto him, Nay, but the faith of my brother was not perfect in the Most High God; wherefore he was consumed in the flames.
5
Upon hearing this, the king marveled and permitted me to speak in his court concerning the Most High God and the redemption which should be wrought in behalf of those who believed on his name.
6
Nevertheless, the heart of the king was not changed, for he gloried in power and he thought to learn of my power by permitting me to speak.
7
But about three hundred men of those who sat in the king's court were converted unto the Lord and followed no more after the evil order of Nimrod; wherefore, they were cast out of the king’s presence but as for me, the king gave me many gifts and sent me away in peace and many were joined unto the believers in the Lord from that day.

For having heard of my salvation from the fire, multitudes came to my father's house to hear of the God who could do such mighty things and many were converted unto the truth.
