they rejoiced in great joy and exulted when they heard Jesus say these words.
2. And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto them: "Hearken, therefore,
now still further, O my disciples, so that I discourse with you concerning the whole

gnosis of the mystery of the Ineffable.
3. "That mystery of the Ineffable knoweth why unmercifulness hath arisen and why
mercifulness hath arisen.
