CHAPTER 14.

And I left that place behind me, I came upwards to
the great aeons of the archons, I came before their veils and
their gates shining exceedingly, and there was no measure
to the light which I had. Now it happened when I reached
the twelve aeons , their veils and their gates were agitated
against one another. The veils drew themselves aside and
the gates opened of themselves , and I entered into their
aeons shining exceedingly, there being no measure to the
light which I had, 49 times greater than the light with which
I was shining in the houses of the Heimarmene. And all the
angels of the aeons and their archangels and their archons
and their gods and their lords and their powers (exousiai)
and their tyrants and their powers and their light-sparks
and their luminaries and their unpaired ones and their invisible
ones and their forefathers and their triple-powered glories, they
saw me shining exceedingly, there being no measure to the
light which I had. And they were agitated against one
another, and great fear came upon them as they saw the
great light which I had. And their great agitation and their
great fear reached to the place of the great invisible fore-
father and the three great triple-powered ones. However,
because of the great fear from their agitation, the great
forefather continued to run from side to side in his place,
he and the three triple-powered ones, and they could not
close all their places because of the great fear in which they
were. And they moved all their aeons at the same time,
and all their spheres, and all their orders, fearing and greatly
agitated because of the great light which I had. Not as at
the time when I had it, in which I was upon the earth of
mankind, when the garment of light came down upon me,
for the world would not be able to bear the light as it is in
its reality, else the world and all that is upon it would
be dissolved at the same time. But the light which I had
in the twelve aeons was 8700 myriad times greater than
that which I had with you in the world.
