               CHAPTER 8
                   1.  And Jesus continued again in the discourse and said: "It came to pass then thereafter,
                       that at the command of the First Mystery I looked down on the world of mankind and
                       found Mary, who is called 'my mother' according to the body of matter.
                   2.  I spake with her in the type of Gabriēl, and when she had turned herself to the height

                       towards me, I cast thence into her the first power which I had received from Barbēlō--
                       that is the body which I have borne in the height.
                   3.  And instead of the soul I cast into her the power which I have received from the great
                       Sabaōth, the Good, who is in the region of the Right.


                   4.  "And the twelve powers of the twelve saviours of the Treasury of the Light which I had
                       received from the twelve ministers of the Midst, I cast into the sphere of the rulers. And
                       the decans of the rulers and their servitors thought that they were souls of the rulers;
                       and the servitors brought them, they bound them into the body of your mothers. And
                       when your time was completed, ye were born in the world without souls of the rulers in
                       you. And ye have received your portion out of the power which the last Helper hath

                       breathed into the Mixture, that [power] which is blended with all the invisibles and all
                       rulers and all æons,--in a word, which is blended with the world of destruction which is
                       the Mixture. This [power], which from the beginning I brought out of myself, I have cast
                       into the First Commandment, and the First Commandment cast a portion thereof into

                       the great Light, and the great Light cast a portion of that which it had received, into the
                       five Helpers, and the last Helper took a portion of that which it received, and cast it into
                       the Mixture. And [this portion] is in all who are in the Mixture, as I have just said unto
                       you."

                   5.  This then Jesus said to his disciples on the Mount of Olives. Jesus continued again in the

                       discourse with his disciples [and said]:
                   6.  "Rejoice and exult and add joy to your joy, for the times are completed for me to put on
                       my Vesture, which hath been prepared for me from the beginning, which I left behind in
                       the last mystery until the time of its completion. Now the time of its completion is the

                       time when I shall be commanded through the First Mystery to discourse with you from
                       the beginning of the Truth to the completion thereof, and from the interiors of the
                       interiors [to the exteriors of the exteriors], for the world will be saved through you.
                       Rejoice then and exult, for ye are blessed before all men who are on the earth. It is ye
                       who will save the whole world."
