Chapter 5 |
|
| |
|
|
1. |
Before Christ came, there was no bread in the world, just as Paradise, the place were Adam was, had many trees to nourish the animals but no wheat to sustain man.
|
|
2. |
Man used to feed like the animals, but when Christ came, the perfect man, he brought bread from heaven in order that man might be nourished with the food of man.
|
|
3. |
The rulers thought that it was by their own power and will that they were doing what they did, but the Holy Spirit in secret was accomplishing everything through them as it wished.
|
|
4. |
Truth, which existed since the beginning, is sown everywhere.
|
|
5. |
And many see it being sown, but few are they who see it being reaped.
|
|
6. |
Some said, Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit.
|
|
7. |
They are in error. |
|
8. |
They do not know what they are saying.
|
|
9. |
When did a woman ever conceive by a woman?
|
|
10. |
Mary is the virgin whom no power defiled.
|
|
11. |
She is a great anathema to the Hebrews, who are the apostles and the apostolic men.
|
|
12. |
This virgin whom no power defiled [...] the powers defile themselves.
|
|
13. |
And the Lord would not have said My Father who is in Heaven unless he had had another father, but he would have said simply My father.
|
|
14. |
The Lord said to the disciples, [...] from every house.
|
|
15. |
Bring into the house of the Father.
|
|
16. |
But do not take (anything) in the house of the Father nor carry it off.
|
|
17. |
Jesus is a hidden name, Christ is a revealed name.
|
|
18. |
For this reason Jesus is not particular to any language; rather he is always called by the name Jesus.
|
|
19. |
While as for Christ, in Syriac it is Messiah, in Greek it is Christ.
|
|
20. |
Certainly all the others have it according to their own language.
|
|
21. |
The Nazarene is he who reveals what is hidden truth.
|
|
22. |
Christ has everything in himself, whether man, or angel, or mystery, and the Father. |
