"Él comenzó a hablarles sobre losmisterios más allá del mundo y loque sucedería al fin. A menudo nose le aparecía a sus discípulos como

él mismo, sino como un niño ."

El enojo de los discípulos

"Un día el estaba con sus discípulosen Judea, y los encontrócongregados y en piadosa

observancia. Cuando se acercó aellos y los vio dando las gracias porel pan, se rió."

"Los discípulos le dijeron "Maestro,¿por qué te estás riendo de nuestraoración de gracias? Estamoshaciendo lo correcto"

"Ellos dijeron "Maestro, tú eres el

hijo de nuestro de dios". Jesús lesrespondió "¿cómo me conoces?Ciertamente les digo, ningunageneración de la gente que está enmedio de ustedes me conocerá".

"Cuando los discípulos escucharon

esto, comenzaron a enojarse yenfurecerse y a blasfemar en contrasuya en sus corazones. Cuando Jesús se dio cuenta de su falta de(entendimiento, les dijo) "¿Por quéesta agitación los conduce al odio?Vuestro dios que está dentro suyo y(...) ha provocado al odio en sus

almas. Dejen que cualquiera deustedes que sea lo suficientementefuerte entre los humanos manifiesteal hombre perfecto y se pare frentea mi cara".

"Ellos dijeron:"Tenemos la fuerza".Pero sus espíritus no se atrevieron apararse colocarse frente a él,

excepto Judas Iscariote. El se pusodelante de Jesús, pero no pudomirarlo a los ojos, y dio vuelta sucara. "

"Le dijo "yo sé quién eres y dedonde vienes. Tu vienes del reino

inmortal de Barbelo. Y yo no soydigno de pronunciar el nombre dequien te ha enviado"

"Sabiendo que Jesús estabareflexionando sobre algo que lotenía exaltado, Jesús le dijo "aléjatede los otros y yo te diré los

misterios del reino. Es posible parati alcanzarlo, pero deberás asumirun gran trato".

INTRODUCTION: INCIPIT

   The secret account of therevelation that Jesus spoke inconversation with Judas Iscariotduring a week three days before hecelebrated Passover.

THE EARTHLY MINISTRY OF JESUS

When Jesus appeared on earth, heperformed miracles and greatwonders for the salvation of humanity. And since some [walked]in the way of righteousness while

others walked in theirtransgressions, the twelve discipleswere called.He began to speak with them aboutthe mysteries beyond the world and

what would take place at the end.Often he did not appear to hisdisciples as himself, but he wasfound among them as a child.

SCENE 1: Jesus dialogues with hisdisciples: The prayer of  thanksgiving or the eucharist

One day he was with his disciples in Judea, and he found them gatheredtogether and seated in piousobservance. When he [approached]his disciples, [34] gathered togetherand seated and offering a prayer of thanksgiving over the bread, [he]laughed. The disciples said to [him], “Master,why are you laughing at [our]

prayer of thanksgiving? We havedone what is right.”He answered and said to them, “Iam not laughing at you. <You> arenot doing this because of your own

will but because it is through thisthat your god [will be] praised.” They said, “Master, you are […] theson of our god.”

 Jesus said to them, “How do youknow me? Truly [I] say to you, nogeneration of the people that areamong you will know me.”

THE DISCIPLES BECOME ANGRY 

When his disciples heard this, theystarted getting angry and infuriatedand began blaspheming against himin their hearts.

When Jesus observed their lack of [understanding, he said] to them,“Why has this agitation led you to

anger? Your god who is within youand […] [35] have provoked you toanger [within] your souls. [Let] anyone of you who is [strong enough]among human beings bring out the

perfect human and stand beforemy face.” They all said, “We have thestrength.”

But their spirits did not dare tostand before [him], except for JudasIscariot. He was able to stand beforehim, but he could not look him inthe eyes, and he turned his faceaway. Judas [said] to him, “I know who youare and where you have come from. You are from the immortal realm of Barbelo. And I am not worthy toutter the name of the one who hassent you.”

 JESUS SPEAKS TO JUDASPRIVATELY 

Knowing that Judas was reflectingupon something that was exalted, Jesus said to him,

“Step away from the others and Ishall tell you the mysteries of thekingdom. It is possible for you toreach it, but you will grieve a great

deal. [36] For someone else willreplace you, in order that the twelve[disciples] may again come tocompletion with their god.” Judas said to him, “When will youtell me these things, and [when] willthe great day of light dawn for thegeneration?”But when he said this, Jesus lefthim.

SCENE 2: Jesus appears to thedisciples again

 The next morning, after thishappened, Jesus [appeared] to hisdisciples again.

 They said to him, “Master, wheredid you go and what did you dowhen you left us?” Jesus said to them, “I went to

another great and holy generation.”His disciples said to him, “Lord,what is the great generation that issuperior to us and holier than us,that is not now in these realms?”When Jesus heard this, he laughedand said to them, “Why are youthinking in your hearts about thestrong and holy generation? [37] Truly [I] say to you, no one born[of]this aeon will see that[generation], and no host of angelsof the stars will rule over thatgeneration, and no person of mortalbirth can associate with it, because

that generation does not come from[…] which has become […]. Thegeneration of people among [you]isfrom the generation of humanity

[…] power, which [… the] otherpowers […] by[which] you rule.”When [his] disciples heard this, theyeach were troubled in spirit. They

could not say a word.Another day Jesus came up to[them]. They said to [him], “Master,we have seen you in a [vision], forwe have had great [dreams …]night […].”[He said], “Why have [you … when]<you> have gone into hiding?” [38]

THE DISCIPLES SEE THE TEMPLE AND DISCUSS IT 

 They [said, “We have seen] a great[house with a large] altar [in it, and]twelve men—they are the priests,

we would say—and a name; and acrowd of people is waiting at thataltar, [until] the priests [… andreceive] the offerings. [But] we keptwaiting.”

[Jesus said], “What are [thepriests] like?” They [said, “Some …] two weeks;[some] sacrifice their own children,

others their wives, in praise [and]humility with each other; somesleep with men; some are involvedin [slaughter]; some commit amultitude of sins and deeds of lawlessness. And the men whostand [before] the altar invoke your[name], [39] and in all the deeds of their deficiency, the sacrifices arebrought to completion […].”After they said this, they were quiet,for they were troubled.

 JESUS OFFERS AN ALLEGORICALINTERPRETATION OF THE

VISION OF THE TEMPLE

 Jesus said to them, “Why are youtroubled? Truly I say to you, all thepriests who stand before that altar

through the human generations.[And they] have planted treeswithout fruit, in my name, in ashameful manner.”

Jesus said to them, “Those youhave seen receiving the offerings atthe altar—that is who you are. Thatis the god you serve, and you arethose twelve men you have seen. The cattle you have seen broughtfor sacrifice are the many peopleyou lead astray [40] before thataltar. […] will stand and make useof my name in this way, andgenerations of the pious will remain

loyal to him. After hi another manwill stand there from [thefornicators], and another [will] standthere from the slayers of children,and another from those who sleep

with men, and those who abstain,and the rest of the people of pollution and lawlessness and error,and those who say, ‘We are like

angels’; they are the stars thatbring everything to its conclusion.For to the human generations it hasbeen said, ‘Look, God has receivedyour sacrifice from the hands of apriest’—that is, a minister of error.But it is the Lord, the Lord of theuniverse, who commands, ‘On thelast day they will be put to shame.’”[41] Jesus said [to them], “Stop sac[rificing …] which you have […] overthe altar, since they are over yourstars and your angels and havealready come to their conclusion

there.So let them be [ensnared] beforeyou, and let them go [—about 15lines missing—] generations […]. Abaker cannot feed all creation [42]

star, and every[body—about 17lines missing—] [43] in […] who hascome [… spring] for the tree[…] of this aeon […] for a time […] but hehas come to water God’s paradise,and the[generation] that will last,because [he] will not defile the[walk of life of] that generation, but[…] for all eternity.”

 JUDAS ASKS JESUS ABOUT THAT GENERATION AND HUMANGENERATIONS

 Judas said to [him, “Rabbi]i, what

kind of fruit does this generationproduce?” Jesus said, “The souls of everyhuman generation will die. Whenthese people, however, have

completed the time of thekingdom and the spirit leaves them,their bodies will die but their soulswill be alive, and they will be taken

up.”

 Judas said, “And what will the rest of the human generations do?” Jesussaid, “It is impossible [44] to sowseed on [rock] and harvest its fruit.[This] is also the way […] the[defiled] generation […] andcorruptible Sophia […] the hand thathas created mortal people, so thattheir souls go up to the eternalrealms above. [Truly] Isay to you,[…] angel […] power will be able tosee that […] these to whom […]holy generations […].

 Judas said, “Master, as you havelistened to all of them, now alsolisten to me. For I have seen a greatvision.”

When Jesus heard this, he laughedand said to him, “You thirteenthspirit, why do you try so hard? Butspeak up, and I shall bear with you.” Judas said to him, “In the vision Isaw myself as the twelve discipleswere stoning me and [45]persecuting [me severely]. And Ialso came to the place where […]after you. I saw [a house …], andmy eyes could not [comprehend] itssize. Great people were surroundingit, and that house <had> a roof of greenery, and in the middle of thehouse was [a crowd—two lines

the day, but the holy will abidethere always, in the eternal realmwith the holy angels. Look, I haveexplained to you the mysteries of the kingdom [46] and I have taughtyou about the error of the stars; and[…] send it […] on the twelveaeons.”

 JUDAS ASKS ABOUT HIS OWNFATE

 Judas said, “Master, could it be thatmy seed is under the control of therulers?” Jesus answered and said to

him, “Come, that I [—two linesmissing—], but that you will grievemuch when you see the kingdomand all its generation.” When heheard this, Judas said to him, “What

become the thirteenth, and you willbe cursed by the other generations—and you will come to rule overthem. In the last days they willcurse your ascent [47] to the holy[generation].”

 JESUS TEACHES JUDAS ABOUT COSMOLOGY: THE SPIRIT ANDTHE SELF-GENERATED

Which no eye of an angel hasever seen,no thought of the heart has ever comprehended,

and it was never called by any name.

“And a luminous cloud appearedthere. He said, ‘Let an angel comeinto being as my attendant.’“A great angel, the enlighteneddivine Self-Generated, emergedfrom the cloud.Because of him, four other angelscame into being from another cloud,and they became attendants for theangelic Self-Generated. The Self-Generated said, [48] ‘Let […] comeinto being […],’ and it came into

heavens, with each one receiving aportion in the heavens.

“The twelve rulers spoke with thetwelve angels: ‘Let each of you [52][…] and let them […] generation[—one line lost—] angels’:

The first is [S]eth, who is calledChrist.The [second] is Harmathoth, who is

 Yobel.

THE CREATION OF HUMANITY 

“Then Saklas said to his angels,‘Let us create a human being after

the likeness and after the image.’ They fashioned Adam and his wifeEve, who is called, in the cloud, Zoe.For by this name all the generationsseek the man, and each of themcalls the woman by these names.Now, Sakla did not [53] com [mand…] except […] the gene[rations …]

this […].And the [ruler] said to Adam, ‘Youshall live long, with your children.’”

 Jesus said, “Why are youwondering about this, that Adam,with his generation, has lived hisspan of life in the place where he

has received his kingdom, withlongevity with his ruler?” Judas said to Jesus, “Does thehuman spirit die?” Jesus said, “This is why God orderedMichael to give the spirits of peopleto them as a loan, so that theymight offer service, but the Great

One ordered Gabriel to grant spiritsto the great generation with no rulerover it—that is, the spirit and thesoul. Therefore, the [rest] of thesouls [54] [—one line missing—].

him, so that the kings of chaos andthe underworld might not lord itover them.” Judas said to Jesus, “So what willthose generations do?” Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, for allof them the stars bring matters tocompletion.

When Saklas completes the span of time assigned for him, their first starwill appear with the generations,and they will finish what they saidthey would do. Then they willfornicate in my name and slay theirchildren [55] and they will […] and
