CHAPTER 9
1. It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished saying these words to his disciples, that
he continued again in the discourse, and said unto them: "Lo, I have then put on my
Vesture, and all authority hath been given me through the First Mystery.
2. Yet a little while and I will tell you the mystery of the universe and the fulness of the

universe; and I will hide nothing from you from this hour on, but in fulness will I perfect
you in all fulness and in all perfection and in all mysteries, which are the perfection of all
perfections and the fulness of all fulnesses and the gnosis of all gnoses,--those which are
in my Vesture.
3. I will tell you all mysteries from the exteriors of the exteriors to the interiors of the

interiors. But hearken that I may tell you all things which have befallen me.

CHAPTER 10
1. "It came to pass then, when the sun had risen in the east, that a great light-power came
down, in which was my Vesture, which I had left behind in the four-and-twentieth
mystery, as I have said unto you. And I found a mystery in my Vesture, written in five
words of those from the height: zama zama ōzza rachama ōzai,--whose solution is this:

2. "'O Mystery, which is without in the world, for whose sake the universe hath arisen,--
this is the total outgoing and the total ascent, which hath emanated all emanations and
all that is therein and for whose sake all mysteries and all their regions have arisen,--
come hither unto us, for we are thy fellow-members. We are all with thyself; we are one
and the same.

3. Thou art the First Mystery, which existed from one (1) the beginning in the Ineffable
before it came forth; and the name thereof are we all. Now, therefore, are we all come
to meet thee at the last limit, which also is the last mystery from within; itself is a
portion of us. Now, therefore, have we sent thee thy Vesture, which hath belonged to
thee from the beginning, which thou hast left behind in the last limit, which also is the

last mystery from within, until its time should be completed, according to the
commandment of the First Mystery. Lo, its time is completed; put it on [thee].

4. "'Come unto us, for we all draw nigh to thee to clothe thee with the First Mystery and all
his glory, by commandment of himself, in that the First Mystery hath given us it,
consisting of two vestures, to clothe thee therewith, besides the one which we have

sent thee, for thou art worthy of them, since thou art prior to us, and existeth before us.
For this cause, therefore, hath the First Mystery sent thee through us the mystery of all
his glory, consisting of two vestures.
