Pistis Sophia 1

Wisdom of Faith

And it came to pass, when Jesus rose from among the dead, that he spent eleven years discoursing with his disciples.

2Instructing them up to the regions of the First Commandment, up to the regions of the First Mystery.

3Jesus said to his disciples: 'I come forth from the First Mystery, which is the Last Mystery, which is the Twenty-Fourth Mystery.'

4The disciples did not know that there existed anything within that Mystery.

5They thought of that Mystery that it was the head of the Universe and the head of all existence.

6Jesus told them about that Mystery, which involves the Great Light and the Entire Treasury of Light.

7Jesus had not spoken to his disciples of the total expansion of all the regions of the Great Invisible.
