                       forgiveness of sins and its defences and its seal."





               CHAPTER 51
                   1.  But when Jesus had finished saying all these things to his disciples and giving to them all

                       these mysteries which he had just performed, he (Jesus) said to his disciples: "For it is
                       necessary that you should receive the mystery of the forgiveness of sins, so that you

                       order to go to their places; hear now, since you have received the mystery of the twelve
