CHAPTER 6.

Now it happened when the disciples heard these words,
they said : "Lord, if it be thou, draw thy light-glory to thyself
so that we can stand, otherwise our eyes are darkened
and we are agitated, and also the whole world is agitated 1,
because of the great light which is thine".
Then Jesus drew to himself the glory of his light. And
when this had happened all the disciples took courage, they
came before Jesus, they all prostrated themselves at the same
time, they worshipped him, rejoicing with great joy. They
said to him : "Rabbi, where didst thou go, or what was
thy service in which thou didst go, or for what reason were
all these disturbances and all these earthquakes which
happened ?"
Then Jesus, the compassionate, said to them : "Rejoice
and be glad from this hour because I have been to the
places from whence I came forth. From today onwards now
I will speak with you openly from the beginning of the
truth until its completion. And I will speak with you face to
face, without parable . I will not conceal from you, from
this hour onwards, anything of the things of the height and
of the place of the truth . For I have been given authority ,
through the Ineffable and through the First Mystery of all
the mysteries, that I should speak with you from the beginning
until the pleroma, and from within outwards, and from
without inwards. Hear now, so that I tell you all things.
It happened as I was sitting at a short distance from you
upon the Mount of Olives, I was thinking of the rank of
the service for which I was sent, that it should be completed,
and that my garment was not yet sent to me by the First
Mystery, which is the 24th mystery from within outwards.
These (24 mysteries) are in the second space of the First
Mystery in the rank of that space. It happened now when
I knew that the rank of the service for which I had been
sent was completed, and that that mystery had not yet sent
me the garment, which I had left behind within it until the
time was completed - as I thought of these things, I was
sitting upon the Mount of Olives at a short distance from
you.
