make more joy, because ye are those to whom they gave it for me to speak with you at first from the beginning of the Truth [11^a] even unto its end. Because of this indeed I chose you from at first through the First Mystery. Rejoice therefore and be glad, because having come, coming out unto the World from at first I brought twelve powers with me according as I said unto you from at first, which I received from the twelve Saviours of the Treasury of Light, according to the commandment of the First Mystery. These therefore I cast unto the womb of your mother, from when I come unto the World, these which (are) in your body to-day, for they gave these powers unto you beyond all the World, because ye are those who will save all the World; and that ye should [11^b] prevail to endure the threat of the Rulers of the World with the toils of the World with their dangers and with their persecutions, all which will bring upon you the Rulers of the Height. For I said to you many times that the power which becometh within you, this which I brought out of the twelve Saviours, these who become in the Treasury of the Light. Because of this indeed I said to you from at first that ye are not (such as are) out of the World, this I also, I am not out of it, for every man who (is) in the World received soul out of the Rulers of the Aeons, but the power which becometh [12^a] in you is (something) from me.

But they were thinking that I am Gabriel the angel. It happened therefore, having come unto the midst of the Rulers of the Aeons, I looked down unto the World of the mankind by the command of the First Mystery, I found Elisabet the mother of Iohannes, [12^b] the baptist, before that that (woman) yet conceived him, I sowed a power into her, this which I received from the little Iao, the good, he who (is) in the Middle, that he should prevail to preach in front of us, and prepare my road and baptise in water for forgiving sin. That power therefore, that (is) that which becometh in the body of Iohannes, and also in the Place of the soul of the Rulers, destined to receive it, I found the soul of Helias the prophet in the Aeons of the Sphere, and I took him in, and I took his soul also, I brought it to the Virgin of the Light and she gave it to her Receivers, they brought it unto the Sphere of the [13^a] Rulers and they cast it into the womb of Elisabet. But the power of the little Iao, he of the Middle, and the soul of Helias the prophet, they (are) those which are bound in the body of Iohannes the baptist. Because of this therefore ye doubted, at the time I having said to you, that
