                   34. And every one of them accomplisheth his economy to which he hath been set, in
                       respect of the ingathering of the souls who have received the mysteries, in respect of

                       this economy, so that they may seal all the souls who will receive the mysteries and who
                       will pass through their interior towards the Inheritance of the Light.
                   35. "Now, therefore, Mary, this is the word concerning which thou dost question me with
                       precision and certainty. For the rest now then, who hath ears to hear, let him hear."




               CHAPTER 87
                   1.  "It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished speaking these words, that Mary

                       Magdalene started forward and said:
                   2.  "My Lord, my indweller of light hath ears and I comprehend every word which thou
                       sayest. Now, therefore, my Lord, on account of the word which thou hast spoken: 'All
                       the souls of the race of men who shall receive the mysteries of the Light, will go into the
                       Inheritance of the Light before all the rulers who will repent, and before those of the
                       whole region of the Right and before the whole region of the Treasury of the Light,'--on

                       account of this word, my Lord, thou hast said unto us aforetime: 'The first will be last
                       and the last will be first,'--that is, the 'last' are the whole race of men which will enter
                       into the Light-kingdom sooner than all those of the region of the Height, who are the
                       first.' On this account, therefore, my Lord, hast thou said unto us: 'Who hath ears to

                       hear, let him hear,'--that is thou desirest to know whether we comprehend every word
                       which thou speakest. This, therefore, is the word, my Lord."
                   3.  It came to pass then, when Mary had finished saying these words, that the Saviour was
                       greatly astonished at the definitions of the words which she spake, for she had become
                       pure spirit utterly. Jesus answered again and said unto her: "Well said, spiritual and pure
                       Mary. This is the solution of the word."





               CHAPTER 88
                   1.  It came to pass then again after all these words, that Jesus continued in the discourse
                       and said unto his disciples: "Hearken, that I may discourse with you concerning the glory
                       of those of the Height, how they are, according to the manner in which I discoursed with
                       you unto this day.
                   2.  "Now, therefore, if I lead you into the region of the last Helper, who surroundeth the

                       Treasury of the Light, and if I lead you into the region of that last Helper and ye see the
                       glory in which he is, then will the region of the Inheritance of the Light count for you
                       only for the size of a city of the world, because of the greatness in which the last Helper
                       is, and because of the great light in which he is.
