Amplified Bible (AMP)

25He answered, “Look! I see four men untied, walking around in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the appearance of the fourth is like 3:25 The KJV has “the Son of God” here, referring to the pre-incarnate Christ, because the usual term for God is Elohim, a plural form.
