Mark 13:26

As I was stumbling through Mark 13 in Gothic about a year ago, I found yet an-other instance of a feature I've been noticing a lot.
Jah þan gasaiƕand sunu mans qimandan in milhmam miþ mahtái managái jah wulþáu.
In the ESV, this is:
"And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory."
The repetition involved in the alliterative "mahtái managái" ("great power") lends a slight sense of degree.
