Thomas said to the Lord: 'Therefore I beseech you to answer my question before your ascension.'
2'When I have heard from you about hidden things, I will then be able to speak about them.'
3'For it is clear to me that the Truth is difficult to attain in front of everyone.'
4The Savior answered: 'If what is invisible is still obscure to you, how will you understand what cannot be seen?'
5'If you find difficulty in attuning yourself to the manifestations of Truth visible in the world, how then will you reach what is invisible?'
6'How can you be called workers, if you are apprentices and have not yet reached the height of perfection?'
7The Savior said: 'All bodies of men and animals perish. Whatever is subject to transformation will perish and be lost.'
