5. And Jesus had not told his disciples of what type are the five Helpers, nor into what
region they are brought; nor had he told them how the great Light hath expanded itself,

nor into what region it hath been brought; nor had he told them of the five Impressions,
nor as to the First Commandment, into what region they have been brought. But he had
discoursed with them generally, teaching that they exist, but he had not told them their
expansion and the order of their regions, how they are. For this cause they have not
known that there were also other regions within that mystery.

6. And he had not told his disciples: “I have gone forth out of such and such regions until I
entered into that mystery, and until I went forth out of it”; but, in teaching them, he
said to them: “I am come forth from that mystery.” For this cause then they thought of
that mystery, that it is the completion of completions, and that it is the head of the

universe and that it is the total Fulness. For Jesus had said to his disciples: “That mystery
surroundeth that universe of which I have spoken unto you from the day when I met
with you even unto this day.” For this cause then the disciples thought there is nothing
within that mystery.

CHAPTER 2

speaking of these words and rejoicing in great joy, and exulting exceedingly and saying
one to another: “Blessed are we before all men who are on the earth, because the
Saviour hath revealed this unto us, and we have received the Fulness and the total
completion,”--they said this to one another, while Jesus sat a little removed from them.

2. And it came to pass then, on the fifteenth day of the moon in the month Tybi, which is

the day on which the moon is full, on that day then, when the sun had come forth in his
going, that there came forth behind him a great light-power shining most exceedingly,
and there was no measure to the light conjoined with it. For it came out of the Light of
lights, and it came out of the last mystery, which is the four-and-twentieth mystery,

from within without -- those which are in the orders of the second space of the First
Mystery. And that light-power came down over Jesus and surrounded him entirely,
while he was seated removed from his disciples, and he had shone most exceedingly,
and there was no measure for the light which was on him.

3. And the disciples had not seen Jesus because of the great light in which he was, or which

was about him; for their eyes were darkened because of the great light in which he was.
But they saw only the light, which shot forth many light-rays. And the light-rays were
not like one another, but the light was of divers kind, and it was of diverse type, from
