13. And after Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach completed all nisayonos, Hasatan went away from him until an opportune time.
14. And in the gevurat HaRuach Hakodesh, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach returned to the Galil. And a report went out throughout all the surrounding countryside about him.

17. [After the Hagbah], he was presented with the megillat sefer Yeshayah and having unrolled the megillah, he found the dvar where it had been written,
