CHAPTER 142
1. And Jesus said unto them: "Bring me fire and vine branches." They brought them unto
him.
2. He laid out the offering, and set down two wine-vessels, one on the right and the other
on the left of the offering.

3. He disposed the offering before them, and set a cup of water before the wine-vessel on
the right and set a cup of wine before the wine-vessel on the left, and laid loaves
according to the number of the disciples in the middle between the cups and set a cup
of water behind the loaves.

4. Jesus stood before the offering, set the disciples behind him, all clad with linen
garments, and in their hands the cipher of the name of the father of the Treasury of the
Light, and he made invocation thus, saying: "Hear me, O Father, father of all fatherhood,
boundless Light: iaō iouō iaō aōi ōia psinōther therōpsin ōpsither

5. "Hear me, O Father, father of all fatherhood. I invoke you yourselves ye forgivers of sins,
ye purifiers of iniquities. Forgive the sins of the souls of these disciples who have

followed me, and purify their iniquities and make them worthy to be reckoned with the
kingdom of my father, the father of the Treasury of the Light, for they have followed me
and have kept my commandments.
6. "Now, therefore, O Father, father of all fatherhood, let the forgivers of sins come,
whose names are these: siphirepsnichieu zenei berimou sochabrichēr euthari na

7. "Hear me, invoking you, forgive the sins of these souls and blot out their iniquities. Let
them be worthy to be reckoned with the kingdom of my father, the father of the
Treasury of the Light.

8. "I know thy great powers and invoke them: auer bebrō athroni ē oureph e ōne souphen

9. "Forgive [sing.] the sins of these souls, blot out their iniquities which they have
knowingly and unknowingly committed, which they have committed in fornication and
adultery unto this day; forgive them then and make them worthy to be reckoned with
the kingdom of my father, so that they are worthy to receive of this offering, holy

Father.
10. If thou then, Father, hast heard me and forgiven the sins of these souls and blotted out
their iniquities, and hast made them worthy to be reckoned with thy kingdom, mayest
