Gospel of the Hebrews 2

Jewish Tradition

The mother of the Lord and his brothers said to him: 'John the Baptist baptizes for the remission of sins. Let us go and be baptized by him.'

2He said to them: 'What sin have I committed that I should go and be baptized by him?'

3'Unless what I have said is ignorance.'

4He who marvels shall reign, and he who reigns shall rest.

5You will never be joyful, except when you look upon your brother with love.

6In the Gospel according to the Hebrews, the Lord says: 'Just now my mother, the Holy Spirit, took me by one of my hairs.'

7'And carried me to the great Mount Tabor.'
