These therefore having said them Jesus, said he to his disciples, He who
hath ear to hear let him hear. Sprang up again in front Mariham, she
came unto the midst, she stood by Philippos, said she to Jesus, My Lord,
hath ear my companion of light, and I prepare me to hear out of my
power, and I understood the words [66^b] which thou saidst. Now
therefore, My Lord, hear that I may say it boldly. Thou saidst to us, He
who hath ear to hear let him hear. Concerning the word which thou saidst
unto Philippos, Thou with Thomas with Maththaios are those three to whom
it was given by the First Mystery to write every word of the kingdom of
the Light, and (to) bear witness to them: hear therefore that I may
utter the explanation of this word, this (is) that which thy power of
light prophesied once by Mōysēs, that by witness (of) two and three
every thing will be established. The three witnesses are Philippos with
Thomas with Maththaios. It happened therefore, Jesus having heard this
word, said he, Well (done) Maria, this is the explanation [67^a] of the
word. Now therefore thou Philippos, Come forward and utter the
explanation of the mystery of the fifth repentance of the Pistis Sophia.
And afterwards sit (down) and write every word which I shall say, until
is completed the number of thy part which thou wilt write in the words
of the kingdom of the Light. After these (things) thou shalt come
forward and say that which thy spirit will understand. Nevertheless
therefore now utter the explanation of the mystery of the fifth
repentance of the Pistis Sophia.
