Mystery. This will I tell unto you when I have explained to you the expansion of the
universe. For this cause, therefore, I have rent myself asunder and have brought the

mysteries into the world, because all are under sin and all are in need of the gift of the
mysteries."

CHAPTER 135
1. Mary answered and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, before thou didst come to the
region of the rulers and before thou didst come down into the world, hath no soul
entered into the Light?"

2. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn, amēn, I say unto you Before I did
come into the world, no soul hath entered into the Light. And now, therefore, when I
am come, I have opened the gates of the Light and opened the ways which lead to the
Light. And now, therefore, let him who shall do what is worthy of the mysteries, receive
the mysteries and enter into the Light."

3. Mary continued and said: "But, my Lord, I have heard that the prophets have entered

6. "The rest of the patriarchs and of the righteous from the time of Adam unto now, who
are in the æons and all the orders of the rulers, when I came to the region of the æons, I
have through the Virgin of Light made to turn into bodies which will all be righteous,--
those which will find the mysteries of the Light, enter in and inherit the Light-kingdom."

7. Mary answered and said: "Blessed are we before all men because of these splendours

which thou hast revealed unto us."
8. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary and all the disciples: "I will still reveal unto
