Mary again questioneth Iesus.
It came to pass then, when Iesus had finished saying these words unto his disciples, that Mary Magdalene came forward again, continued and said unto Iesus:
"My Lord, in what type will be those who have received the mystery (of the Light) in the midst of the last Helper?"
2. Of those who receive the mystery in the last Helper.
And Iesus answered and said unto Mary in the midst of the disciples:
"They who have received the mystery (of the Light) if they come out of the body (of the matter of the rulers)1, then will every one be in his order according to the mystery which he hath received. Those who have received the higher mysteries, will abide in the higher order; those who have received the lower mysteries will be in the lower orders. In a word, up to what region every one hath received mysteries, there will he abide in his order in the Inheritanc (of the Light). For which cause I have said unto you aforetime: 'Where your heart is, there will your treasure be2,'--that is up to what region every one hath received mysteries, there shall he be."
3. John questioneth Iesus.
It came to pass, when Iesus had finished saying these words unto his disciples, that John came forward and said unto Iesus:
"My Lord and my Saviour, give me also commandment that I discourse before thee, and be not wroth with me if I question concerning all with precision and certainty; for thou, my Lord, hast promised me in a promise to make revelation unto us of all concerning which I shall question thee. Now, therefore, my Lord, hide nothing from us at all in the matter on which we shall question thee."
And Iesus answered in great compassion and said unto John:
"To thee also, blessed John, and beloved, I give commandment to speak the word which pleaseth thee, and I will reveal it unto thee face to face without similitude, and I will say unto thee all on which thou wilt question me with precision and certainty."
And John answered and said unto Iesus:
"My Lord, will then every one abide in the region up to which he hath received the mysteries, and hath he no power to go. into other orders which are above him; and hath he no power to go into the orders which are below him?"
