3. "And thereafter I will discourse with you also concerning the glory of the Helper who is
above the little Helper. But I shall not be able to discourse with you concerning the
regions of those who are above all Helpers; for there existeth no type in this world, to
describe them, for there existeth in this world no likeness which is like unto them, that I
may compare them therewith, nor greatness nor light which is like unto them, not only
in this world, but they also have no likeness with those of the Height of Righteousness
from their region upwards. On this account, therefore, there existeth in fact no manner
of describing them in this world because of the great glory of those of the Height and
because of the great immeasurable greatness. On this account, therefore, there existeth
no manner to describe it in this world."
4. It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished speaking these words unto his disciples,
that Mary Magdalene came forward and said unto Jesus: "My Lord, be not wroth with
me if I question thee, because I trouble repeatedly.
5. Now, therefore, my Lord, be not wroth with me if I question thee concerning all with
precision and certainty. For my brethren will herald it among the race of men, so that
they may hear and repent and be saved from the violent judgments of the evil rulers
and go to the Height and inherit the Light-kingdom; because, my Lord, we are
compassionate not only towards ourselves, but compassionate towards the whole race
of men, so that they may be saved from all the violent judgments.
6. Now, therefore, my Lord, on this account we question concerning all with certainty; for
my brethren herald it to the whole race of men, in order that they may escape the
violent rulers of the darkness and be saved out of the hands of the violent receivers of
the outer-most darkness."
7. It came to pass, when Jesus had heard Mary say these words, that the Saviour answered
in great compassion towards her and said unto her: "Question concerning what thou
desirest to question, and I will reveal it unto thee with precision and certainty and
without similitude."
CHAPTER 89
1. It came to pass then, when Mary had heard the Saviour say these words, that she
rejoiced with great joy and exulted exceedingly and said unto Jesus: "My Lord, by how
much greatness then is the second Helper greater than the first Helper? By how much
distance is he distant from him, or rather how many times more does he shine than the
latter?"
