Letter of Peter to Philip 3
Jesus Explains Divine Fullness
Open in the reader →1Then a bright light became visible, and the mountain glowed because of the sight of the one who had become visible, and a voice cried out to them, and said:
2“Pay attention to my words, so that I can speak to you.
3Why are you looking for me?
4I am Jesus Christ, who abides with you continually.”
5The apostles responded, and said:
6“Lord, it would please us to understand the deficiency of the aeons,
7as well as their fullness,
8and how we are held back in this dwelling-place.
9How have we arrived at this place?
10How will we depart?
11[] How do we come to have authority for boldness of speech?
12Why do the powers battle against us?”
13A voice from the light then cried out to them, and said: “You are the ones who testify that I have spoken all of these things to you, but on account of your unfaithfulness, I will repeat (these things).”
