CHAPTER 94
1. And Jesus continued again and said unto his disciples: "Still further, O my disciples, be

sober and let every one of you bring hither the power of sensing the Light before him,
that ye may sense with sureness. For from now on I will discourse with you concerning
the whole region in truth of the Ineffable and concerning the manner, how it is."
2. It came to pass then, when the disciples had heard Jesus utter these words, that they

gave way and let go entirely.

3. Then Mary Magdalene came forward, threw herself at the feet of Jesus, kissed them and
wept aloud and said: "Have mercy upon me, my Lord, for my brethren have heard and
let go of the words which thou saidest unto them. Now, therefore, my Lord, concerning
the gnosis of all the things which thou hast said, that they are in the mystery of the

Ineffable; but I have heard thee say unto me: 'From now on I will begin to discourse with
you concerning the total gnosis of the mystery of the Ineffable,'--this word, therefore,
which thou saidest, thou hast not gone forward to complete the word. For this cause,
therefore, my brethren have heard and have let go and ceased to sense in what manner

thou discoursest with them. Concerning the word which thou saidest unto them, now,
therefore, my Lord, if the gnosis of all this is in that mystery, where is the man who is in
the world, who hath the ability to understand that mystery with all its gnoses and the
type of all these words which thou hast spoken concerning it?"
