Pistis Sophia Chapter 22

CHAPTER 22.

It happened when Jesus finished saying these words,
Philip sat writing every word as Jesus said them. Now after
this it happened that Philip came forward, he prostrated
himself and worshipped at the feet of Jesus, saying : "My
Lord, Saviour, give me authority that I speak in thy presence
and that I question thee on this discourse before thou
speakest with us of the places to which thou hast gone for
the sake of thy service".
The compassionate Saviour answered, he said to Philip :
"The authority is given to thee to deliver the discourse which
thou dost wish".
Then Philip answered and spoke to Jesus: "My Lord,
for the sake of what mystery hast thou turned the bondage
of the archons and their aeons and their Heimarmene and
their sphere and all their places, and in confusion hast thou
caused them to be confused in their paths, and to wander
in their course? Hast thou now done this for the sake of the
salvation of the world or not?"
