of my vesture and they hymned all together unto the inward part of the
inward parts, becoming in great fear with great disturbance. And I left
that place behind me, I came even unto the gate of the second Sphere,
this, namely, the Destiny. But were disturbed all her gates, and they
were opened one on another, and I went in unto the houses of the Destiny
enlightening greatly greatly, there being no measure unto the light
which becometh from me. For I was enlightening in the Destiny more than
the Sphere forty-nine of double of time. And were disturbed all the
Rulers with [21^b] all those who become in the Destiny, and they fell
upon one another, they became in great fear greatly, seeing the great
light becoming from me. And they looked at my vesture of light, they saw
the mystery of their name in my vesture, and they were made more
disturbed, they became in great fear saying, In what manner did the Lord
of the Universe pass through us, while we know (it) not? And were

Lords with their [22^b] Authorities and their Tyrants with their powers
with their sparks with their luminaries, with their Unpaired-ones, with
their Invisibles and with their Forefathers, with their
Triple-powered-ones, they saw me enlightening greatly, there being no
measure unto the light which becometh from me: and they were disturbed
one upon another, and great fear fell upon them, seeing the great light
which was becoming from me. And their great disturbance with their great
fear reached even unto the Place of the great invisible Forefather, and

their disturbance continued running hither and thither in his Place the
