1 А у то ће се време подигнути Михаило, велики кнез, који брани твој народ; и биће жалосно време, каквог није било откако је народа до тада; и у то ће се време избавити твој народ, сваки који се нађе записан у књизи. 2 И много оних који спавају у праху земаљском пробудиће се, једни на живот вечни, а други на срамоту и прекор вечни. 3 И разумни ће се сјати као светлост небеска, и који многе приведоше к правди, као звезде вазда и довека. 4 А ти Данило затвори ове речи и запечати ову књигу до последњег времена; многи ће претраживати, и знање ће се умножити. 5 Тада погледах ја, Данило, и гле, стајаху друга двојица, један с ове стране на брегу реке, а други с оне стране на брегу реке. 6 И један рече човеку обученом у платно, који стајаше над водом у реци: Кад ће бити крај тим чудесима? 7 И чух човека обученог у платно, који стајаше над водом у реци, и подиже десницу своју и левицу своју к небу, и закле се Оним који живи увек да ће се све ово испунити по времену, по временима и по по времена, и кад се сврши расап силе светог народа. 8 И ја чух али не разумех; и рекох: Господару мој, какав ће бити крај томе? 9 А Он рече: Иди Данило, јер су затворене и запечаћене ове речи до последњег времена. 10 Многи ће се очистити, убелити и окушати; а безбожници ће радити безбожно, нити ће који безбожник разумети, али ће разумни разумети. 11 А од времена кад се укине жртва ваздашња и постави гнусоба пустошна, биће хиљаду и двеста и деведесет дана. 12 Благо ономе који претрпи и дочека хиљаду и три стотине и тридесет и пет дана. 13 А ти иди ка свом крају; и почиваћеш и остаћеш на делу свом до свршетка својих дана.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But the angel, hiding from him the great mystery of Bythus, said unto him, "Go thy way quickly, Daniel, for these sayings are closed up until those who have understanding do understand them, and those who are white be made white." Moreover, they vaunt themselves as being the white and the men of good understanding.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and many of the just as the stars for ever." This passage is very similar to the one we have quoted from the Gospel, at least so far as regards the resurrection of dead bodies.

… Esaias is witness, when he says: The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tombs shall awake: and according to Daniel, Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall arise, some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting shame.

… discourse be glorified to such an extent, that others cannot behold the glory of his countenance, as was said by Daniel: "Those who do understand, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and many of the righteous as the stars for ever and ever." Thus, then, I have shown it to be, if any one read the Scriptures.
… such a resurrection it is said a little afterwards to the prophet himself, "And come thou and rest: for there is yet a day till the completion of the consummation; and thou shall rest, and rise in thy lot in the end of the days." Chapter 24 — Passages from the Psalms of David Which Predict the End of the …
