12 (NIV) Then he continued,
"Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that
you set your mind to gain understanding and to
humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one
days. Then Michael, one of the chief
princes, came to help me, because I was
detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to
your people in the future, for the vision
concerns a time yet to come." É 20 Soon I will
return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I
go, the prince of Greece will come.
