CHAPTER 34
1. It came to pass then, when Mary had finished speaking these words unto Jesus in the
midst of the disciples, that she said unto him: "My Lord, this is the solution of the

mystery of the repentance of Pistis Sophia."
2. It came to pass then, when Jesus had heard Mary speak these words, that he said unto
her: "Well said, Mary, blessed one, the fulness, or all-blessed fulness, thou who shalt be
sung of as blessed in all generations."

CHAPTER 35
1. Jesus continued again in the discourse and said: "Pistis Sophia again continued and still

sang praises in a second repentance, saying thus:
2. "' Light of lights, in whom I have had faith, leave me not in the darkness until the
end of my time.
3. "' Help me and save me through thy mysteries; incline thine ear unto me and
save me.
4. "' May the power of thy light save me and carry me to the higher æons; for thou

wilt save me and lead me into the height of thy æons.
5. "' Save me, O Light, from the hand of this lion-faced power and from the hands
of the emanations of god Self-willed.
6. "' For it is thou, O Light, in whose light I have had faith and in whose light I have

trusted from the beginning.
7. "' And I have had faith in it from the time when it emanated me, and thou thyself
didst make me to emanate; and I have had faith in thy light from the beginning.
8. "' And when I had faith in thee, the rulers of the æons mocked at me, saying: She
hath ceased in her mystery. Thou art my saviour and thou art my deliverer and
thou art my mystery, O Light.

9. "' My mouth was filled with glorifying, that I may tell of the mystery of thy
grandeur at all times.
10. "' Now, therefore, O Light, leave me not in the chaos for the completion of my
whole time; forsake me not, O Light.

11. "' For all the emanations of Self-willed have taken from me my whole light-
power and have surrounded me. They desired to take away my whole light from
me utterly and have set a watch on my power,
12. "' Saying one to another together: The Light hath forsaken her, let us seize her
and take away the whole light in her.
