CHAPTER 110
1. When then Jesus had said this, Mary continued, threw herself at Jesus' feet, kissed them
and said: "My Lord, still will I question thee. Reveal [it] unto us and hide [it] not from
us."
2. Jesus answered and said unto Mary: "Question on what ye question, and I will reveal [it]

unto you in openness without similitude."
3. Mary answered and said: "My Lord, hast thou then not brought mysteries into the world
because of poverty and riches, and because of weakness and strength, and because of
. . . and healthy bodies, in a word because of all such, so that, if we go into the regions of
the land, and they do not have faith in us and they hearken not unto our words, and we

perform any such mysteries in those regions, they may know truly in truth that we
herald the words [of the God] of the universe?"
4. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary in the midst of the disciples: "Concerning this
mystery on which ye question me, I have given it unto you at another time; but I will
repeat it and speak the word unto you:
5. "Now, therefore, Mary, not only ye, but every man who shall accomplish the mystery of

the raising of the dead,--that which healeth the demons and all pains and all sicknesses
and the blind and the lame and the maimed and the dumb and the deaf, which I have
given unto you aforetime,--he who shall receive [that] mystery and accomplish it,
thereafter then, if he ask for all things, for poverty and riches, for weakness and

strength, for . . . and healthy body, and for all healings of the body and for the raising of
the dead and for healing the lame and the blind and the deaf and the dumb and all
sicknesses and all pains,--in a word, he who shall accomplish that mystery and ask for all
the things which I have just said, then will they quickly come to pass for him."

6. When then the Saviour had said this, the disciples came forward, cried out all together

and said: "O Saviour, thou hath made us very exceedingly frenzied because of the great
deeds of which thou tellest us; and because thou hast borne up our souls, they have
pressed to go forth out of us unto thee, for we issue from thee. Now, therefore, because
of these great deeds of which thou tellest us, our souls have become frenzied and they

have pressed very exceedingly, yearning to go forth out of us on high to the region of
thy kingdom."
