2 Esdras 2:45-47 (New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha)
45
He answered and said to me, "These are they who have put off mortal clothing and have put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God. Now they are being crowned, and receive palms."
46
Then I said to the angel, "Who is that young man who is placing crowns on them and putting palms in their hands?"
47
He answered and said to me, "He is the Son of God, whom they confessed in the world." So I began to praise those who had stood valiantly for the name of the Lord. a
