CHAPTER 84
1. And Jesus answered and said unto Mary: "What is there in this world which is like unto
them, or rather what region is there in this world which is comparable to them?
2. Now, therefore, to what am I to liken them, or rather what am I to say concerning
them? For nothing existeth in this world to which I shall be able to liken them, and no

form existeth in it which is able to be like them.
3. Now, therefore, nothing existeth in this world which is of the quality of the heaven.
[But] amēn, I say unto you: Every one of the invisibles is nine times greater than the
heaven and the sphere above it and the twelve æons all together, as I have already said
unto you at another time.

4. And no light existeth in this world which is more excellent than the light of the sun.
Amēn, amēn, I say unto you: The four-and-twenty invisibles shine ten-thousand times
more than the light of the sun which is in this world, as I have already said unto you at

yet a little while and I will lead thee and thy brethren and fellow-disciples into all the

only the regions of the space of the Ineffable, and ye shall see all their shapes in truth

without similitude.

7. "And if I lead you into the height and ye shall see the glory of them of the height, then
will ye be in very great amazement.

8. "And if I lead you into the region of the rulers of the Fate, then will ye see the glory in
which they are, and because of their overtowering great glory ye will deem this world
before you as darkness of darknesses, and ye will look at the whole world of men, how it
will have the condition of a speck of dust for you because of the great distance it is far
distant from it, and because of the great condition it is considerably greater than it.
9. "And if I lead you into the twelve æons, then will ye see the glory in which they are; and

because of the great glory the region of the rulers of the Fate will count for you as the
darkness of darknesses, and it will have for you the condition of a speck of dust because
