28raised on high, they and the whole power, and that those who shall not be saved, might be quickly destroyed.\CHAPTER 241. It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished saying these words unto his disciples, that Mary, the fair in her discourse and the blessed one, came forward, fell at the feet of Jesus and said: \if oft I give thee trouble questioning thee.\2. The Saviour, full of compassion, answered and said unto Mary: \thou willest, and I will reveal it to thee in all openness.\3. Mary answered and said unto Jesus: \themselves here outside, and in what type will they be quickly purified?\CHAPTER 251. And Jesus answered and said unto Mary: \thy excellent question, and thou throwest light on all things with surety and precision.2. Now, therefore, from now on will I hide nothing from you, but I will reveal unto you all things with surety and openness. Hearken then, Mary, and give ear, all ye disciples: Before I made proclamation to all the rulers of the %u00e6ons and to all the rulers of the Fate and of the sphere, they were all bound in their bonds and in their spheres and in their seals, as Yew, the Overseer of the Light, had bound them from the beginning; and every one of them remained in his order, and every one journeyed according to his course, as Yew, the Overseer of the Light, had established them. 3. And when the time of the number of Melchisedec, the great Receiver of the Light, came, he was wont to come into the midst of the %u00e6ons and of all the rulers who are bound in the sphere and in the Fate, and he carried away the purification of the light from all the rulers of the %u00e6ons and from all the rulers of the Fate and from those of the sphere--for he carried away then that which brings them into agitation--and he set in motion the hastener who is over them, and made them turn their circles swiftly, and he carried away their power which was in them and the breath of their mouth and the tears [lit. waters] of their eyes and the sweat of their bodies.4. And Melchisedec, the Receiver of the Light; purifieth those powers and carrieth their light into the Treasury of the Light, while the servitors of all the rulers gather together all matter from them all; and the servitors of all the rulers of the Fate and the servitors of the sphere which is below the %u00e6ons, take it and fashion it into souls of men and cattle and reptiles and wild-beasts and birds, and send them down into the world of mankind.
