Luke 1:11
Douay-Rheims
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
John of Damascus
(de fide Orthodox. ii. 3.) Angels, however, are revealed not as they really are, but transformed (as men are able to behold them) into whatever the Lord commands.
