He kind of panicked .He said < the door's open .They looked out of the closet and they saw that the door was open . Those gas masked soldiers were watering down the windows from the outside .So it wasn't necessarily just the rain that was hitting the window, they had hoses and they were hosing down the windows .This disciple of Jesus doesn't understand what that was .If someone had been contaminated, they would hose them down.

il a un peu paniqué, il a dit < la porte est ouverte .Ils ont regardé à l’extérieur du placard et ont vu que la porte était ouverte .Ces soldats masqués au masque à gaz arrosaient les fenêtres de l'extérieur .Donc ce n'était pas nécessairement seulement la pluie qui frappait la fenêtre, ils avaient des tuyaux et ils arrosaient les fenêtres .Cette disciple de Jésus comprend pas c ‘que c'était .Si quelqu'un avait été contaminé, ils l'arrosaient au jet d'eau.
