It came to pass then, when Mary had heard the Saviour say these words, that she came forward and said unto Jesus: My Lord, of what type then is the second Helper, and of what type are the third, fourth and fifth Helpers?

2And Jesus answered and said unto Mary: The second Helper is in like manner in great and immeasurable glory, and the third and fourth and fifth Helpers are each in his order, expanded according to the glory which the First Mystery hath bestowed upon them.

3And every one of them ruleth over his order, and their light is ten thousand times greater than the light of the whole Treasury of the Light. And of all their regions and their orders will I discourse with you progressively, when I come to the expansion of the universe.
