Dialogue of the Savior 5

1His disciples [said: “Lord], who is it who seeks and [who] is it who reveals?”

2[The Lord] said [to them]: “The one who seeks is [the same one] who reveals.”

3Matthew [once more said to him: “Lord], as I [listen to you], and as I speak, who is it who [speaks, and] who is it who listens?”

4The [Lord] said: “The one who speaks is the same one who [listens], and one who can see is the same one who reveals.”

5Mary said: “Lord, behold, [while I] am wearing a body, from where do my tears flow, from where does my laughter come?”

6The Lord said: “[It is the body that] weeps on account of its deeds, [and on account of] (the deeds) that still remain to be done. It is the mind that laughs [on account of [] the fruits of] the spirit. Whoever [stands] not in the darkness will be [un]able to see [the light].

7I say to you, [whatever is without] the light is the darkness, [and whoever] stands [not] in [the darkness will be] un[able] to see the light. However, [the sons of] deceit were taken out [. . .]. You will put on the light, and [you will thus live] forever [. . .]. [If . . .], then [every] power that is above and below will handle you cruelly. In that place [there will] be weeping and [gnashing] of teeth over the end of [every]thing.”
