It happened therefore after these (things), commanded Jesus, Let all the
powers of the Left (hand) come unto their Places. And Jesus with his
disciples remained upon the mountain of the Galilaia. Added also the
disciples, they prayed him, How long therefore dost not thou cause them
to forgive our sins which we did with our unlawfulness, and make us
worthy of the kingdom of thy Father. But Jesus, said he to them, Amen I

upon the earth, they shall forgive to him in the heavens, and that which
ye will bind upon the earth it will become being bound in the heavens. I
shall give to you the mystery of the kingdom of the heavens that ye also

me fire with some wood of vine. They brought them to him, he offered up
the Oblation: he put the two jars of wine one on the right hand and the
other on the left of the Oblation. He put the Oblation in front of them.
He put a cup of water by the vessel of wine which (is) on the right, and

of the Treasury of the Light in their hands. He cried out thus, saying,

souls of these disciples who followed me, and purify their unlawfulness,
and cause them to be worthy of being numbered in unto the kingdom of my
