12BOOK ONECHAPTER 11. It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them only up to the regions of the First Commandment and up to the regions of the First Mystery, that within the Veil, within the First Commandment, which is the Four-and-Twentieth Mystery without and below--those [four-and-twenty] which are in the second space of the First Mystery which is before all mysteries, -- the Father in the form of a dove.2. And Jesus said to his disciples: %u201cI am come forth out of that First Mystery, which is the Last Mystery, that is the four-and-twentieth mystery.%u201d And his disciples have not known nor understood that anything existeth within that mystery; but they thought of that mystery, that it is the head of the universe and the head of all existence; and they thought it is the completion of all completions, because Jesus had said to them concerning that mystery, that it surroundeth the First Commandment and the five Impressions and the great Light and the five Helpers and the whole Treasury of the Light.3. And moreover Jesus had not told his disciples the total expansion of all the regions of the great Invisible and of the three triple-powers and of the four-and-twenty invisibles, and all their regions and their %u00e6ons and their orders, how they are extended--those which are the emanations of the great Invisible--and their ungenerated and their selfgenerated and their generated and their light-givers and their unpaired and their rulers and their authorities and their lords and their archangels and their angels and their decans and their servitors and all the houses of their spheres and all the orders of every one of them.4. And Jesus had not told his disciples the total expansion of the emanations of the Treasury, nor their orders, how they are extended; nor had he told them their saviours, according to the order of every one, how they are; nor had he told them what guard is at every [gate] of the Treasury of the Light; nor had he told them the region of the Twinsaviour, who is the Child of the Child; nor had he told them the regions of the three Am%u0113ns, in what regions they are expanded; nor had he told them into what region the five Trees are expanded; nor as to the seven Am%u0113ns, that is the seven Voices, what is their region, how they are expanded.
