Jesus, the Living One, is the knowledge of the truth. This is the book of the knowledges of the invisible God by means of the hidden mysteries, which show the way to the chosen race, (leading) in rest (refreshment) to the life of the Father — in the coming of the Saviour, the deliverer of souls, who will receive into themselves the word of life, which is higher than all life — in the knowledge of Jesus, the Living One, who came forth through the Father from the aeon of light in the fullness (completion) of the Pleroma — in the teaching, besides which there is no other, which Jesus, the Living One, taught his apostles, saying: “This is the teaching in which all knowledge dwells.” Jesus, the Living One, began and said to his apostles: “Blessed is he who has crucified the world and has not let the world crucify him.” The apostles answered with one voice, saying: “Lord, teach us the manner of crucifying the world, so that it may not crucify us, and we perish and lose our life.” Jesus, the Living One, answered and said: “He who has crucified the world is the one who has found my word and has fulfilled it according to the will of him who sent me.” ### Scripture references - 1 Pet 2:9: allusion, medium confidence - 1 John 1:1: echo, low confidence - Gal 6:14: allusion, medium confidence - John 4:34: echo, low confidence ### Translation notes - Translated from Carl Schmidt's German (GCS 13, 1905) of the lost Coptic text; the German is not shown.

Schmidt's German translation (1905) of the Coptic; neither is shown Summary: The apostles say they have left everything; Jesus tells them that the Father's life is to receive a soul of mind instead of earth, to be saved from the archon of this aeon, and to be made free and whole. ### English translation (Claude) The apostles answered, saying: “Speak to us, Lord, so that we may hear you. We have followed you with our whole heart; we have left father and mother, we have left vineyards and fields, we have left possessions, we have left the glory of the king, and we have followed you, so that you might teach us the life of your Father who sent you.” Jesus, the Living One, answered and said: “The life of my Father is this: that you receive your soul from the race of the mind, and that it ceases to be earthly and becomes intelligent through what I tell you in the course of my word, so that you may fulfil it and be saved from the archon of this aeon and from his snares, which have no end. But you, my disciples, hasten to receive my word carefully, so that you may know it, so that the archon of this aeon may not fight with you — he who found none of his commands in me — (and) so that you yourselves, my apostles, may fulfil my word concerning me, and I myself may make you free, and you may be made whole through a freedom in which there is no blemish. As the Spirit of the Paraclete is whole, so you too will be made whole through the freedom of the Spirit of the holy Paraclete.” ### Scripture references - Matt 19:27–29: allusion, medium confidence - John 14:30: allusion, medium confidence - John 8:36: echo, low confidence ### Translation notes - “Made whole” renders Schmidt's German heil, which can also mean “saved”. ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 2 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.

Schmidt's German translation (1905) of the Coptic; neither is shown Summary: Jesus explains that to bring heaven down is to know his word, and to send earth to heaven is for the hearer's mind to become heavenly instead of earthly; one born in the flesh of unrighteousness or knowing him after the flesh has no part in the kingdom. ### English translation (Claude) All the apostles answered with one voice, Matthew and John, Philip and Bartholomew and James, saying: “Lord Jesus, you Living One, whose goodness is spread out over those who have found his wisdom and his form in which he shone — O light, who are in the light that has enlightened our hearts until we received the light of life — O true Word, who through knowledge teach us the hidden knowledge of the Lord Jesus, the Living One.” Jesus, the Living One, answered and said: “Blessed is the man who has known this, and has brought heaven down, and has carried the earth and sent it to heaven; and he became the Midst, for it is nothing (that is, the Midst).” The apostles answered, saying: “Jesus, you Living One, O Lord, explain to us in what way one brings heaven down, for we have followed you so that you might teach us the true light.” Jesus, the Living One, answered and said: “The Word existed in heaven before the earth came into being, which is called ‘world’. But you, if you know my word, will bring heaven down, and it (the word) will dwell in you. Heaven is the invisible Word of the Father; but if you know this, you will bring heaven down. As for sending the earth to heaven, I will show you how it is, so that you may know it: to send the earth to heaven is the hearer of the word of the knowledges who has ceased to be the mind of an earthly man and has become a heavenly man; his mind has ceased to be earthly and has become heavenly. Therefore you will be saved from the archon of this aeon, and he will become the Midst, for it is nothing.” And Jesus, the Living One, said again: “When you have become (heavenly?), you will become the Midst, for it is nothing; for the rulers and the evil powers will … contending with you and envying you, because you have known me — that I am not from this world, and that I am not like the rulers and the powers, and that nothing evil comes from me; and further, that he who is born in the flesh of unrighteousness has no part in the kingdom of my Father; and further, that he who has known me according to the flesh has no hope (of the kingdom of God the Father).” ### Scripture references - John 8:23: allusion, medium confidence - 1 Cor 15:47–49: echo, low confidence - 1 Cor 15:50: echo, low confidence - 2 Cor 5:16: allusion, medium confidence - Eph 6:12: echo, low confidence ### Translation notes - Schmidt's German marks a lacuna after “the evil powers will”.

Schmidt's German translation (1905) of the Coptic; neither is shown Summary: Jesus explains that the flesh he means is the flesh of ignorance; after a gap, he describes how the Father caused the true God, called Jeu, to come forth as head over the treasuries and to bring forth emanations that fill them. ### English translation (Claude) (The apostles) answered with one voice and said: “Jesus, you Living One, O Lord, were we born according to the flesh, and (have we) known you according to the flesh? Tell us, O Lord, for we are troubled.” Jesus, the Living One, answered (and said) to his apostles: “I do not mean the flesh in which (you) dwell, but the flesh of (ignorance) and of unknowing, which is in ignorance, which leads many astray away from the (word) of my Father.” The apostles answered the (word?) of Jesus, the Living One, and said: “Tell us what (the) ignorance is like, so that we may guard (ourselves) against it; otherwise we shall go …” Jesus, the Living One, answered and said: “(Everyone) who wears my virginity and my … and my garment without having understood me and (known) me, while he blasphemes my name, … destruction, and he has again become an earthly child, because he has not carefully known my word, these (words) which the Father spoke so that I myself might teach them to those who will know me in the completion of the fullness of him who sent me.” The apostles (answered) and said: “O Lord Jesus, you Living One, (teach) us the completion, and it is enough for us.” And he said: “The word that I myself give you …” [Lacuna in the manuscript.] [5] He has emanated him, being of this type: [diagram]. This is the true God. He will set him up in this type as head; he will be called “Jeu”. After that my Father will move him to bring forth other emanations, and they will fill these places. This is his name according to the treasuries which are outside of here. He will be called by this name: Ioeiaōthōouichōlmiō, that is, “true God”. He will set him up in this type as head over the treasuries which are outside of here. This is the type of the treasuries over which he will set him as head, and this is the way in which the treasuries were emanated, he being their head. This is the type in which he is before he was moved to bring forth emanations: [diagram] Ioeiaōthōouichōlmiō. This is his type. This, then, is the way in which Ioeiaōthōouichōlmiō has (emanated). This is his name: he will be called “true God”. Again, he is called “Jeu”, since he will be the father of a multitude of emanations, and a multitude of emanations will come forth from him by the command of my Father, and they themselves will become fathers of the treasuries. I will set a multitude as heads over them, and they will be called “Jeu”. But the true God will become the father of all the Jeus, because he is an emanation of my Father, … whom the true God will emanate by the command of my Father. He who will be head over them will move them; a multitude of emanations will come forth from all the Jeus by the command of my Father when he moves them, and they will fill all the treasuries and will be called orders of the treasuries of the light. Myriads of myriads will come into being from them. This, then, is the type in which the true God is when he is set as head over the treasuries, before he has brought forth emanations over the treasuries and before he has brought forth emanations, because my Father had not yet moved him to emanate and bring forth. This is his type, which I have just set out; but this is his type when he brings forth emanations. This is the type of the true God as he is: these three strokes, which are thus, are the voices which he will utter when he is commanded to praise the Father, so that he himself may bring forth emanations and himself emanate. This is the type as it is: [diagram]. This is his type when he brings forth: [diagram]. So the true God is, when he emanates emanations, when he is moved by my Father, by the command of my Father, to bring forth emanations and to set them up as heads over the treasuries. A multitude will come forth from them, and they will fill all the treasuries by the command of my Father, so that they may become gods. The true God will be called “Jeu, the father of all the Jeus”, whose name in the language of my Father is this: Ioeiaōthōouichōlmiō. But when he is set up as head over all the treasuries, to emanate them, his type is this which I have just set out. ### Scripture references - 2 Cor 5:16: echo, low confidence ### Translation notes - The staged section runs on, after a lacuna in the manuscript, into what Schmidt numbers chapter 5; its start is marked [5]. Schmidt's diagrams and the figures in them are not reproduced; their places are marked [diagram]. The mystical name is given as Schmidt prints it in Greek letters, transcribed from a damaged scan, so its spelling is uncertain. Where the German has “I have the destruction” the sense is unclear; the translation marks it with “…”. Schmidt's German notes that a verb is lost in the manuscript in the sentence about “these three strokes”. ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 4 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.

Schmidt's German translation (1905) of the Coptic; neither is shown Summary: Jesus describes how, at his calling on the Father's name, a power of the Father moved the true God to utter a voice, by which the first treasury and its guardians and orders came forth. ### English translation (Claude) Hear now also the type of the treasuries, how they are emanated, he being head over them in this way, before he had emanated them, that is, his type as he is. The true God had this type: [diagram]. But I called upon the name of my Father, that is, this one, so that he might move the true God to emanate. And he let a thought come forth from his treasuries. A power of my Father moved the true God and shone forth in him through this small thought, which had come from the treasuries of my Father; it shone forth in the true God. A mystery moved him through my Father; and the true God uttered a voice, saying thus: [a sequence of letters]. And when he had uttered a voice, this voice came forth, that is, the emanation. It came into being in this type, going forth one after another, treasury by treasury. The first voice is this which Jeu, the true God, called out, that is, the one which came forth from him, that upper one. [Diagram: Jeu, the place, with the names of the first treasury.] This is his character. He will set up an order according to the treasuries and set guardians at the gate of the treasuries, that is, those who stand at the gate as the three [strokes]. This is the true God. When the true God had emanated, this was his type: when this greatness stood in the treasuries, no orders had yet come into being. I stood and called upon the name of my Father, so that he might let other emanations come into being in the treasuries. [Diagram.] But he again let a power from himself move the true God. First he let it shine forth in him, so that he might move his emanations in the treasuries, so that they too might bring forth emanations, that is, those whom he has set as heads over them. But he, the true God, first emanated these from his place. Therefore he uttered a voice when the power shone forth in him. This is the first voice that he uttered. He moved his emanations until they emanated. ### Translation notes - A caption in the margin of a diagram (“This then is his character, being thus on his face”) is given in Schmidt's German; the diagram is not reproduced. The letters of the voice and the names in the diagram are unreadable in the scan and are not reproduced. ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 6 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.

His name: [a series of names]. These are the three guardians. [Diagram: the second Jeu, with its names.] His character. He let the power move in himself; it shone forth in him; he uttered this voice while he emanated, that is, the first emanation. These are the orders which he caused to be emanated, there being twelve orders in each treasury, whose type is: six heads on this side and six on that, turned towards each other. A multitude of orders will stand in them besides these, all of which I will tell. There are twelve heads in each order, and this name belongs to them all according to each order, and this name belongs to the twelve; and there are twelve heads in each order. His name is this: [names]. The first order of the treasury, then, is the first which he made as an emanation. I will take for myself twelve from those orders and appoint them for my service. ### Translation notes - The lists of mystical names and the diagram are unreadable in the scan and are not reproduced. Schmidt's German notes that where the Coptic has “a movement” one must read “a power”, because the pronouns that follow are feminine; the translation follows his correction. ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 7 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.

The disciples of Jesus said to him: “Which order of the paternities, then, is this to which we have come out?” He said: “This is the second order of the treasury of the outer ones; there are two orders of paternities within and one in the midst and two outside. Therefore, see, we have come out to the two (orders) of the outer ones, there being five orders of paternities in the midst, which are in the places of the God who dwells in the midst of the All. Therefore I have placed two outside and two within, their likeness again being within all; but when I emanate them, I place two outside him and two within him and one in my(?) midst. This is the arrangement of these orders of paternities in these places.” (I said:) “Hear now the position of this treasury. When you come out to this treasury, seal yourselves with this seal, that is: this is its name: [name] — say it only once — while this number, 600515(?), is in your hand; and say this name: [name] three times; then the guardians and the orders and the veils withdraw, until you reach the place of their father, and he gives (you his name and his seal), until you reach (the gate within his treasury).

I said to my disciples: “Hear concerning the position of this treasury: six places surround it, in whose midst [name] is. These two strokes which are drawn thus below his places are the root of his places in which he stands. These two strokes also, in which these alphas of this type are, namely two above and two below, are the roads, if you wish to go to the Father in his place and into his interior. But these alphas are the veils which are drawn before him. Again there are twelve places in his treasury, and in each place there are twelve heads, this name belonging to the twelve; and there are twelve orders in his treasury, and besides these a multitude of other orders will be present in this treasury, and they will let one head rule over them and will call him ‘the first commandment’ and ‘the first mystery’. Again, there is only one gate within this treasury; again, on its outside, which is outside it, it (the treasury) has three gates, at whose entrances there are nine guardians, three at each gate, and each of them has a single name. Now, then, when you come to this place, seal yourselves with this seal, that is: this is its name: [name] — say it only once — while this number, 30885(?), is in your hand. This is the seal: [seal]. Again, say also this name: [name] three times; then the orders and the veils withdraw, until you reach the place of the Father, and he gives (you his name and his seal), and you go in until you reach the gate within his treasury. And those guardians will see the seal of their father and withdraw — for they have recognized it — until you reach the place which is within it. This, then, is the position of this treasury and of its inhabitants, apart from those who will be in it. See, now I have told you the position of all the treasuries and of those who will be in them all, from the treasury of the true God, whose name is this: Ioeiaōthōouichōlmiō, to the treasury of [name]. See, now I have told you the position of them all, apart from those who will be in them all when they praise my Father to give them light-power.” ### Translation notes - Translated from Schmidt's German.

Schmidt's German translation (1905) of the Coptic; neither is shown Summary: Asked why the places and treasuries exist, Jesus explains that they came from the small thought the Father left behind, from which he himself shone forth as the first emanation, and he tells the disciples how to pass through to the place of the true God. ### English translation (Claude) Then the disciples of Jesus said to him: “Our Lord, why have all these places come into being, or why have these paternities in them come into being, and why have all their orders come into being, or why did we stand?” Jesus said to them: “They have come into being because of this small thought, one which the Father left behind and did not draw to himself. He withdrew entirely into himself except for this small thought, which he left behind and did not draw to himself. I shone forth in this small thought — I who came into being through my Father; I welled up and set myself free from it. I shone forth in it, and it emanated me, I being the first emanation from it and its whole likeness and its image. When it had emanated me, I stood before it. Again this small thought shone forth and uttered another voice, that is, the second voice. It then became all these places, that is, the second emanation. Again it (the second emanation) went forth one after another and became all these places, as they went forth one after another. It (the thought) caused them to become all these places. Again it (the small thought) uttered the third voice and caused it (the emanation) to move the power of the treasuries, and caused them to become all these heads according to the places, and they stood according to all the places, from the first to the last of them all. But he, my Father, again moved all these heads and caused each to emanate twelve emanations. He spread them out in these places of the treasuries, from the first to the last of them all. You yourselves, my disciples, I have carried into the places of the ‘Inner Ones’, you being an order, so that you may walk with me in all the places to which we wish to go, so that you may serve me in all the places to which I wish to go, and I may call you ‘disciples’. Now, then, when you come out of all these places, say these names which I have told you, and their seals, so that you may seal yourselves with them; and say the name of (their) seals, their number being in your hand; then the guardians and the orders and the veils withdraw, until you reach the place of their father. Again you will cross over into them all, into the places of the Inner Ones, until you reach the place of the true God. This, then, is the whole position of the treasuries, which I have just set out to you.” ### Scripture references - Col 1:15: echo, low confidence ### Translation notes - Schmidt's German explains in brackets which feminine and plural pronouns refer to the thought and to the emanation; those explanations are kept in round brackets. “Image” renders the German Abbild (Greek εἰκών). ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 39 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.

Schmidt's German translation (1905) of the Coptic; neither is shown Summary: At the disciples' request Jesus gives them the one great name of the power in all the places, with its seal, number and ritual, by which all the treasuries open as far as the place of the true God, and warns them not to say it constantly. ### English translation (Claude) Then the disciples of Christ said to him: “O Lord, when we said to you, ‘Give us just one name, so that it may suffice for all the places’, you said to us then: ‘When I have let you see all the places, I will tell it to you.’ See, we have seen them all and all their inhabitants, and you have told us their name and the name of their seals and all their numbers, so that all the places, from the first to the last of them all, may withdraw. Now, then, give us the name of which you said to us: ‘When I have let you see the treasuries, I will tell it to you.’ Now, then, our Lord, tell it to us, so that we may say it in all the places of the treasuries, and they may withdraw from the first to the last of them all.” Then Jesus said to them: “Listen, so that I may tell it to you, and you may lay it in your heart and keep it.” Then they said to him: “Is it the great name of your Father, which exists from the beginning, or the one which … him?” Christ said: “No; but if you say the name of the great power which is in all the places, then all the places which are in the treasuries withdraw, from the first to the last of them all, as far as the treasury of the true God; the guardians and the orders and the veils all withdraw. This is the name that you say: [name]. This, then, is the name which you are to say when you are in the place of the ‘Inner Ones’, the place of the true God, who belongs to the places of the ‘Outer Ones’. Stand up in the place of the ‘Outer Ones’ and call upon it, and seal yourselves with this seal, that is: this is its name: [name]; say it first, before that one; grasp this number, 7856, with your hand. When you wish to call upon it, say this one first; after that turn to the four corners of the treasury in which you are, seal yourselves with this seal, and say its name, this number being in your hand. After that say also this name only once, calling upon it and turning to the four corners of the treasury in which you are. When you have called upon it, say: ‘May the guardians of the sixty treasuries, within without end and without, and all the orders of the treasuries and the veils of the treasuries and the places of the roads of their whole paternity withdraw — for I have called upon the great name which the God of all the places of all the treasuries has told us — until I reach the place of the true God.’ At the moment when you say this name and these words and this mystery and turn to the four corners of the treasury, or when you are in the place in which you are, the guardians of the gates and the orders of the treasuries and their veils, which are drawn before these fathers, all of them from within to without, from the first to the last of them all, will withdraw; they will withdraw into their own form, until you cross over into the places of all the treasuries and reach the place of the true God, who is outside the places of my Father. See, I have told you the name of which I said to you before that I would tell it to you, so that all the places of the treasuries may withdraw and you may reach the place of the true God, who is outside the places of my Father. See, now I have told it to you; restrain yourselves and do not say it constantly, lest all the places be disturbed because of its greatness which is in it. See, now I have told it to you, the Twelve, who all surround me, and the seal and the number. See, now I have told you the name about which you asked me, so that you may lay it in your heart.” ### Translation notes - Schmidt's German notes that the manuscript has “receive” instead of “say” at one point, that a Coptic word seems corrupt, and that unknown abbreviation signs stand here and in the next passage. The name and seal are unreadable in the scan and are not reproduced; the number 7856 is given as the scan reads it. ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 40 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.

He went into the treasuries and came to the seventh treasury within and stopped in that place. And he said to them, the Twelve: “All of you, surround me.” And they all surrounded him. He said to them: “Answer me and praise with me, so that I may praise my Father for the emanation of all the treasuries.” And he began to sing a hymn, praising his Father and saying thus: “I praise you, that is, the one with the great name of the Father, whose signs are of this type: [signs]; for you have withdrawn into yourself wholly in truth, until you let go the place of this small thought, not drawing it to yourself; for what then is your will, O unapproachable God?” Then he had his disciples answer: Amen, Amen, Amen, three times. He said to them again: “Repeat after me ‘Amen’ at each praise.” Again he said: “I praise you, O God, my Father, for you have caused the place of this small thought to shine forth in you; for what then, O unapproachable God?” Then they said: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times. Then he said: “I praise you, O unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself, your will being that he should shine forth; for what then, O unapproachable God?” They said again: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times. “I praise you, O unapproachable God, for by your own desire I shone forth in you, being a single emanation, and set myself free from you. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, O (unapproachable God), for you have emanated me, being a single emanation.

For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, O (unapproachable God), for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated the third emanation, that is, the one which you caused to come into being as you spread yourself out into all these places.

You have also emanated this emanation and set it over all the places; for what then, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they said: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated names and given them the name ‘treasury’; for what then, O (unapproachable God)?” They said: (Amen, Amen, Amen three times), O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated places and caused them to come into being in all the treasuries. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated a power; it moved these heads, so that you might give each of them the name ‘true God’. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated a power; it moved the true God to move also the other emanations which are over the treasuries, so that they might emanate other emanations, and you set them all up as orders in the treasuries. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself.

You have emanated a great power and moved it to bring forth seals. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have brought forth for us this great name which you have given us, that is, the one which you have spoken, so that all the places may withdraw; for what then, O (unapproachable God)?” They answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated a mystery from yourself. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated an image of light and set it up surrounding you yourself. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God in other places; you are unapproachable in them, in these places of this great Logos according to the mystery. You have put your greatness into them, it being again your will that one should approach you in them. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated an emanation from the beginning, wishing to spread out all the places. You called it (the emanation) ‘Jeu’, so that those in all the places might be called ‘Jeu’, so that they might be made kings over them all. For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen) three times, O (unapproachable God). “I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself. You have emanated your own mystery, you who are an unapproachable God in the logoi; you are unapproachable in them in this great Logos according to the mystery of Jeu, the Father of all the Jeus, which you yourself are. For what then is your own will, that one should approach you in them, O (unapproachable God), to whom one has drawn near in this great Logos according to the mystery of Jeu, the greatest of all fathers, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (Amen, Amen, Amen three times), O (unapproachable God). “(I praise you, you unapproachable God, for you shone forth in yourself). You have withdrawn into yourself wholly, into your whole image and your whole thought, and have left behind a small thought, so that you might reveal your great riches and your whole greatness and your great mysteries.

For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, O (unapproachable God)?” Then they answered: (You are) the unapproachable (God), Amen, Amen, Amen, three times, (O unapproachable God). ### Translation notes - Schmidt's German explains that the question “for what then …” is shortened in the manuscript and should be read in full as “For what then is your will, that all this should come into being, unapproachable God?”; from a certain point the manuscript abbreviates the refrain with a sign, and Schmidt supplies it in round brackets, as the translation does (the brackets are applied uniformly here). He notes that one passage is no longer visible in the manuscript and that the copy of it is unreliable. The signs of the Father's name are not reproduced. Where the German has “the … orders of the five trees”, one word is unclear in the scan. The book's closing title (“The Book of the great Logos according to the mystery”) and a row of letters after it are not translated. ### Citation (SBL) 1 Jeu, 1 Jeu 41 (Schmidt, GCS 13; trans.
