It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished saying these words, while Philip sat and wrote all the words that Jesus spake,--thereafter then it came to pass that Philip came forward, fell down and adored the feet of Jesus, saying: "My Lord and Saviour, grant me authority to discourse before thee and to question thee on this word, before that thou discoursest with us concerning the regions whither thou didst go on account of thy ministry."
2And the compassionate Saviour answered and said unto Philip: "Authority is given thee to discourse the word which thou willest." And Philip answered and said unto Jesus: "My Lord, on account of what mystery hast thou changed the courses of the rulers and of their aeons and of their Fate and of their sphere and of all their regions, and made them confounded in confusion on their path and deluded in their course? Hast thou then done this unto them for the salvation of the world, or hast thou not?"
