An ancient gospel from Egypt could change the history of Christianity. The ancient gospel from Egypt is on its way to rewrite the entire history of Christianity and church doctrine. In 1945, the Egyptian Mohammed al-Saman, excavating in caves in Jabal al-Tarif, discovers what has been kept hidden from the church for thousands of years, the ancient Gospel, as well as a number of early Christian manuscripts.

The discovery has been kept secret for decades, but today it is finally coming out. We are talking about 12 books, including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Truth, the Treatise on the Resurrection, the Secret Book of James, the Origin of the World, the Book of Tom, the Wisdom of Jesus, the Gospel of the Egyptians, Revelation, St. Paul, the first and second revelation , from Jacob and others.

All of these manuscripts contain information that is not found in the canonical gospels. And most of them are unknown.
Ancient gospel from Egypt rewrites Christian history

The most important is the ancient gospel that was written, according to Tom. The manuscript contains over 114 sayings attributed to Jesus Christ, half of which are in the canonical gospels and the other half are unknown.

“The kingdom of God is within you and outside of you. When you examine yourself, you will understand that you are the sons of the Father. But if you do not know yourself, you will live in poverty and you yourself will be the embodiment of poverty,” says Jesus in the gospel according to Thomas in the text, which indicates that the act of salvation is inextricably linked with the power of introspection and the ability to sincerely be self-critical about one’s own personality. because it is the only way to improve.

This, like other gospels, should make you look differently at the history of Christianity and the canons. And to ask what roads they walked and how their high priests served to consider what is "good" and what is "bad" in the gospel, in order to form Christian doctrine as we know it today.

The holy book of the Egyptians about the great invisible Spirit, the Father, whose name cannot be spoken, he is the one who came from the heights of perfection, the light of the light of the aeons of light, the light of the silence of providence,<и>The Father of silence, the light of the word and truth, the light of incorruptibility, the infinite light, the radiance from the eons of light of the unmanifested, unsigned, ageless, undeclared Father, the eon of eons, the Autogenes, the self-born, giving birth, alien, truly true eon.

Three powers came from him; they are: the Father, the Mother, (and) the Son, from the living silence that proceeds from the incorruptible Father. These came from the silence of the unknown Father.

And from that place came Domedon Doxomedon, the aeon of aeons and the light of each of these powers. And thus the Son arose fourth; Mother - fifth; Father is sixth. He was [...] but not proclaimed; unmarked among all the powers, splendors and incorruptibility.

From that place came three powers, three ogdoads, which the Father in urination, together with his foresight, produced from his bosom, i.e. Father, Mother, (and) Son.

<Первая>ogdoad, that - because of which the thrice-male child came into being, which is the thought, and the word, incorruptibility and eternal life, desire, mind and foresight, the male Father.

The second power-ogdoada is Mother, virgin Barbelon, epititioh [...] ai, memeneimen [...] ruling over the sky, karb [...], power inexplicable, inexpressible Mother. She was born from herself [...]; it arose; she united with the Father of silent silence.

The third power-ogdoada is the Son of silent silence and the crown of silent silence, and the glory of the Father and the virtue of the Mother, he produces from the womb seven forces of great light, these seven voices. And the word is their fullness.

These are the three powers, the three ogdoads, which the Father, through his providence, brought forth from his womb. He produced them in that place.

Domedon Doxomedon arose, an aeon of aeons, and a throne in it, and powers around it, splendor and imperishability. The father of the great light, descended from silence, is the great Doxomedon-eon, in which rests a thrice-male child. And his throne of glory is established in him, on which his secret name is inscribed, on a tablet (with an inscription) [...] there is one word, the Father of the light of all, he who came from silence and rests in silence, he whose name is in invisible symbol. A hidden, invisible mystery arose:

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOO (7 vowels, 22 times each)

And thus these three powers gave praise to the great, invisible, nameless, virginal Spirit and his man and asked for power. The silence of the living silence, glory and incorruptibility in eons [...] eons, myriads were added [...], three times male, three male offspring, the glory of the Father, the glory of the great Christ, and male offspring, filled the great eon Doxomedon with the power of the word of all Pleromas.

Then the thrice-male child of the great Christ, anointed by the great invisible Spirit, whose power was called Ainon, gave praise to the great invisible Spirit and his male virgin Juel, and the silence of the silent silence, and the greatness that [...] inexpressibly [...] inexpressibly [.. .] unrequited and inexplicable, the first manifest and unproclaimed [...] who is beautiful [...] inexpressible [...] who are all greatness from the greatness of the silence of that place. Thrice the male child offered up praise and asked for strength from the great invisible virgin Spirit.

Then appeared in that place [...] who [...] sees glory [...] treasures in [...] invisible secrets in [...] silence, who is courageous Jehuil.

Then a child of a child arose, Esefech.

And in this way, the five seals, named Father, Mother, Son, were filled, an irresistible power, which is the great Christ of all the incorruptible ...

Then Pronoia came from silence, and the living silence of the Spirit, and the Word of the Father, and light. She [...] five seals, those that the Father made from his womb, and she went through all the eons that I mentioned above. And she set up thrones of glory, and myriads of angels countless around them, powers and glories incorruptible, and they sing and praise, all of them, with one voice, with a voice never-silent, [...] the Father, and the Mother, and the Son [ ...] and all the pleromas, as I mentioned before, who is the great Christ, who is from the Silence, who is the incorruptible child, Telmael Telmachael Eli Eli Mahar Mahar Seth, the living force is truly true, and the man of man, who is with him, Jouel, and Esefech the glorious , the child of the child, and the crown of glory of his [...] five seals, the Pleroma that I mentioned before.

The great self-begotten Word appeared, the true god, unbegotten nature, whose name I will say this: [...] ayah [...] invisible and incorruptible Spirit. The son of silence and silence has come...

He praised the great, invisible, virgin Spirit, the silence of the Father, in the silence of the living silence, the stillness, the place where man rests...

Then a cloud of great light appeared from that place, a living force, the mother of saints, indestructible, great power, Mirotoya. And she gave birth to the one whose name I call, saying, Yen Yen Ea Ea Ea, three times.

For he, Adamas, is the light from the light, he is the eye of the light. For he is the first man through whom and (for whose sake) everything came into being, (and) without him nothing would have come into existence.

An inconceivable, incomprehensible Father has come into existence. He descended to make up for a deficiency.

Then the great Logos, the divine Autogenes, and the indestructible man Adamas merged with each other. The Logos of man arose, but man originated through the word.

He gave praise to the great, invisible, incomprehensible, virgin Spirit, and the male virgin, and the thrice male child, and the male virgin Juel, and the glorious Esepheh, he is the child of the child and the holder of his glory, and the great aeon Doxomedon, and the thrones that are in him, and the powers around him, the glories and inviolability, and all their Pleroma, of which I have already spoken, and the land of the air, the abode of God, where holy people take the form of a great light, the people of the Father, the silence of the living silence, the Father and all their Pleroma, as I already said.

The great Logos, the divine Autogenes and incorruptible man gave praise, and they asked for power and eternal power for the Autogenes, for the completion of these four eons, so that through them the glory and power of the invisible Father of the holy people of the great light that is coming in a world that has the image of night. The imperishable man Adamas, asked for them a son from himself, so that he (the son) could become the father of an unshakable, imperishable kind, so that through him (this kind) silence and voice would arise, and thanks to this, the mortal zones would rise to be freed.

And thus came from above the power of the great light, Manifestation. She gave birth to four great lights: Harmozel, Oroyael, David and Elele, and the great imperishable Seth, the son of the imperishable man Adamas.

And thus the perfect hebdomada (week), which exists in hidden secrets, became complete. When she gets fame, she becomes eleven hebdomads.

And the Father approved; the whole Pleroma of lights was pleased. Their spouses came to complete the ogdoad of the divine Autogens: Grace - the first light of Harmozel, Attention - the second light of Oroyael, Understanding - the third light of David, Understanding - the fourth light of Eleleus. Such is the first ogdoad of the divine Autogenes.

And the Father approved; the whole Pleroma of lights was pleased. happened<служители>: the first, the great Gamaliel, of the first great light of Harmozel, and the great Gabriel of the second great light of Oroyael, and the great Samlo of the great light of David, and the great Abrasax of the great light of Eleleus. And their spouses came about, by the will of the consent of the Father: Memory of the great, first Gamaliel, Love, the great second Gabriel, Peace - the great third Samblo, eternal Life, the great fourth Abrasax. In this way, five ogdoads were fulfilled, forty in total, an unfathomable power.

Then the great Logos, the Autogenes, and the word of the Pleroma of the four lights gave praise to the great, invisible, unnamed, virginal Spirit, and Muzhedeva, and the great aeon Doxomedon, and the thrones in them, and the forces around them, and the authorities and forces,<и>three times a male child, and the virgin husband Jhuil, and the glorious Esefeh, the child of the child and the crown of his glory, all the Pleroma and all the glories in it, the infinite pleromas<и>unnamed aeons, so that they may call the Father the fourth, with an incorruptible generation, (and) that they may call the seed of the father, the seed of the great Seth.

Then everything shook, and trembling seized the incorruptible. Then, the thrice-male child descended from above, into the unbegotten, and self-begotten, and those who are begotten in the begotten. Greatness has happened - all the greatness of the great Christ. He established thrones in glory, countless myriads, in four zones around them, countless myriads, powers and glories and incorruptibility. And that's how they came into existence.

And the incorruptible spiritual church grew in the four lights of the great living Autogen, the god of truth, they praised, sang (and) glorified with one voice, and image, with tireless lips, the Father, and the Mother, and the Son, and the whole Pleroma, as I already said<выше>. Five seals, owning myriads, ruling over the zones and carrying the glory of military leaders, took control and appeared before the worthy. Amen.

Then the great Seth, the son of the imperishable man Adamas, gave praise to the Great invisible, unnamed, nameless, virginal Spirit, and<мужедеве, и трижды мужскому дитяти, и муже>the virgin Jhuil, and the glorious Esephech, and the crown of his glory, (he is) the child of the child, and the great aeons Doxomedon, and the Pleroma, as I said above; and asked for a seed.

Then came from that place the great power of the great light, Plesithea, the thought of the angels, the thought of the lights, the glorious thought; she is a virgin with four breasts, bearing fruit from Gomorrah, the fountain, and Sodom, the fruit of the fountain of Gomorrah, in herself. It happened because of the great Seth.

Then the great Seth rejoiced at the mercy bestowed on him from the incorruptible Child, and received his seed from her, the four-breasted virgin, and placed it with him, in the fourth zone, in the third great light, David.

After five thousand years, the great light of Elele said: "Let someone reign over chaos and the underworld." And a cloud appeared, whose name is material Sophia [...] She looked into the regions of chaos, her face looked like [...] in her cloud [...] blood. And the great angel Gamaliel said to the great Gabriel, the minister of the great light of Oroyael; he said, "Let an angel come to reign over chaos and hell." Then the cloud, according to this, appeared in two monads, each of which had light. [...] the throne she placed in the cloud. Then Sakla (s), the great angel, saw the great demon, who is with him, Nebruel. And together they gave birth to the spirit of the earth. And gave birth to helping angels. Sakla said to the great angel Nebruel, "Let there be twelve aeons in [...] aeon, worlds [...]". [...] the great angel Sakla, in accordance with the will of the Self-begotten, "Let there be [...] the number seven [...]." And he said to the great angels, "Go and reign, each one over his own world." Each of these twelve angels came. The first angel is Athos, whom the great generations call [...] The second is Harmas, which means the eye of fire. The third is Kalila-Umbri. The fourth is Jabel. The fifth is Adonaiu, who is called Sabaoth. The sixth is Cain, whom the generations of men call the Sun. Seventh - Abel. Eighth - Abrizena. The ninth is Iobel. The tenth is Armupiel. Eleventh - Melheir-Adonein. The twelfth is Belias. These are the ones who rule over hell and chaos.

And after the foundation of the world, Saklya said to his angels: "I, I am a jealous god, and nothing has arisen except me." Because he believed in himself.

Then a voice came from on high, saying, "Man exists and the Son of Man." Because of the descent of the image of the heavenly, like its voice in height, the image of the one who looked, through the gaze of the image of the heavens, the first creation was created.

Because of this, Metanoia arose. She received fulfillment and strength by the will of the Father and his good pleasure, with which he favored the great imperishable, unshakable family of the great (5) strong people of the great Seth - let him sow him in the en-born, so that through him the deficiency would be filled. For she descended from above into the world, which has the form of night. When she came, she began to ask for the seed of the archon this zone and (for) the authorities that came from him - that which is corruptible and will perish, (the seed) of the god (25) demon-bearing, and for the seed of Adam and the great Seth, who is like the sun.

Then the great angel Hormos came to prepare this zone through the virgins of perishable birth, in a logo-bearing vessel, holy, through the Holy Spirit, the seed of the great Seth.

Then the great Seth came and brought his seed. And it was sown in the zones of the born, and their number is the measure of Sodom. Others say that Sodom is the place of pasture of the great Seth, it is also Gomorrah; others, that the great Seth took his planting from Gomorrah and planted it in a second place, that which he called Sodom.

This is the lineage that came through the Edokles. For according to the Word she gave birth to truth and legality, the beginning of the seed of eternal life, which is with those who abide through the knowledge of their source. This is a great incorruptible race that came out through the three worlds into the world.

And the flood came, as a model of the fulfillment of the aeon. But it will be sent into the world for the sake of this kind. Fire will come to earth. And those who belong to the family will have mercy through the prophets and intercessors who keep the life of the family. For the sake of this kind, there will be famines and pestilences, temptations, the delusion of false prophets.

Then the great Seth saw the actions of the devil, and his many guises, and his plans, coming upon his kind incorruptible, unshakable, the persecution of his forces and his angels, and their delusion that they dared against themselves.

Then the great Seth gave praise to the Great unnamed (25) virgin spirit, and the masculine Barbelon, and the Thrice-male child, Telmael Telmachael Heli Heli Mahar Mahar Seth, the living power is truly true, and the masculine Jehuil; and the glorious Esephech, and the crown of his glory, and the great aeon Doxomedon, and the thrones in it, and the forces around them, and all the pleroma, as I said above, - and he asked intercessors for his seed.

Then four hundred airy angels came out of the great zone, and with them the great Aerosiel and the great Selmekhel, in order to protect the great incorruptible race, its fruit, and the great people of the great Seth from the time and period of Truth and Law until the fulfillment of the aeon and its archons, those whom the great judges condemned to death.

Then the great Seth was sent from the four lights, by the will of the Self-begotten and the entire pleroma, by the giving and favor of the Great invisible spirit, and the five seals, and the entire pleroma.

He went through the three manifestations that I spoke about above - the flood, the fire and the judgment of the archons, forces and authorities - in order to save that erring race by the restoration of the world and baptism through the logo-begotten body, the great Seth prepared him for himself; in mystery, through a virgin, so that the saints would be born by the Holy Spirit, invisible, secret symbols, in the restoration of the world to the world, renunciation of the world and the god of thirteen aeons, and by the saints called, and indescribable, and incorruptible bosoms, and by the great light of the Father, the pre-existing with his providence and established through her holy baptism, which reaches heaven, through the incorruptible Logo-begotten, and the living Jesus, and the one who was given by the great Seth. And he nailed the powers of the thirteen aeons, and through them established those that move to and fro, and armed them with the weapon of the knowledge of truth, the irresistible power of incorruptibility.

The great Upcoming Essene Nazarene Jessedukei, living water, and the great commanders - the great Jacob, Theopempt, Isauel appeared to them; and those who are above the source of truth - Micah, Michar and Mnesinus; and those who are over the baptism of the living, and the purifiers, and the Sesengenfaranges; and those above the gates of the waters are Micah and Mihar; and those above the mountain - Seldao and Eleinoye; and the recipients of the great imperishable kind of strong people of the great Seth, the servants of the four lights - the great Gamaliel, the great Gabriel, the great Samblo and the great Abrasax; and those that are above the Sun at its rising are Olses, Hypnaeus, and Chevremai; and, those who are at the entrance to the rest of eternal life; - rulers Mixanter and Mihanor; - and those that guard the souls of the elect - Akraman and Strempsuhos; and the great power of Heli Heli Ma-har Mahar Sif, and the Great invisible, nameless, nameless, virgin Spirit, and Silence, and the great light of Harmozel - the place of the living Self-begotten, the god of truth, and the imperishable man Adamas who is with him; the second, Oroyael - the place of the great Seth and the life-giving Jesus, who came and crucified that which was according to the law; the third is David, the place of the sons of the great Seth; the fourth, Eleleus - the place where the souls of the sons rest, the fifth, Joel - which is above the name of the one to whom it will be given to be baptized with a saint reaching heaven, incorruptible baptism.

But from now on, through the imperishable man Poimael and worthy of the calling of becoming the five seals by the baptism of the source, these will know their recipients, as instructed about them, and will be known by them; these will not taste death.

IE jeus EO Owa! Truly, truly, O Essei Nazarene Yesedducey. O living water, O Child of a child, O glorious name! Truly truly, O aeon that exists, iiii EEEEE eee oooo uuuu OOOO aaaa. Hey aaaa OOOO, O being who sees the aeons! Truly, truly, aee EEE iiii uuuuuu OOOOOOOOO who is eternally eternal! Truly, truly, iEa, heyO, in the heart that is created, at ay ay ay, oh oh, Son, forever, You are what you are. You are who you are.

This great name that belongs to you is above me, the impeccable Self-begotten, inseparable from me, and I see you, invisible to anyone, for who can comprehend you with a different voice? Now, having known you, I have merged with the Immutable, armed myself with a weapon of light and become light. For the Mother of that place was by the beautiful beauty of mercy. Therefore, I stretched out my folded hands and took form in the circle of the riches of the light, which is in my womb and gives form to the multitude of those born in the light, and there is no damage to it. I will proclaim thy glory in truth, for I have comprehended thee sow iEs ide eyiO eyie ois, O Aeon, Aeon, O God of Silence, and I honor you entirely. You are my resting place, Son of Es Es o e, faceless, existing in the faceless, and he exists and exalts the person in whom you will purify me for your life - by your name that is eternal. Therefore, the incense of life is in me, I stirred it in the water according to the pattern of all the archons, in order to live with you with the peace of the saints. Existing forever, truly eternal.

Here is the book that the great Seth wrote, and laid it in the high mountains, above them the sun did not rise and cannot (rise). And since the days of the prophets, apostles and heralds, this name has never risen above their hearts and cannot, and their ear has not heard it. This book was written by the great Seth in writing, in one hundred and thirty years, and laid it on a mountain named Charaxio, so that at the end of times and terms, by the will of the divine Self-begotten and the entire pleroma, by the will of the incomprehensible, divine Father, she would come out and reveal this imperishable, holy generation of the great the Savior, and those who dwell with him in love, and the great invisible, eternal Spirit, and his only-begotten Son, and the Eternal Light, and his great incorruptible wife, and incorruptible Sophia, and Barbelon, and all the pleroma, forever and ever, Amen .

Gospel (for) the Egyptians. God-written book, sacred and secret. Grace, understanding, understanding, prudence (abide) with the one who wrote it - (with me) Eugnostus, full of love in the spirit, in the flesh, my name Gongessos - is incorruptible with my comrades in the world. Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. God-written sacred book of the great invisible Spirit. Amen.

Sacred Book of the Great Invisible Spirit. Amen.

GOSPEL OF THE EGYPTIANS

Two versions of the Gospel of the Egyptians have been found in the Nag Hammadi library. Codex III Gospel
The Egyptians is in second place after the short version of the Apocrypha of John. Code V has another
a fragmentary version of the Gospel of the Egyptians, preceded by an enlarged
version of the Apocryphon of John. In their modern form, both texts go back to the same Greek
original. The text in Codex III is much better preserved, but several
pages. In the Russian translation by E. Smagina, the restoration of lost pages is given according to Code V,
the safety of which is much worse.
The Gospel of the Egyptians from the Nag Hammadi library, apparently, is not connected in any way with another text,
known by the same name, fragments of which are given by Clement of Alexandria in
"Stromatach". The alternative title of the book is The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit.
The text is divided into four sections. The first - the longest section is a story about
the manifestation of the spiritual world of light by the Great Invisible Spirit, manifesting himself as the Father. This
the section ends with the word "Amen". The second part is devoted to the salvation of the heavenly Seth
his offspring, enslaved by the god of this world Saklas. The third section has two
liturgical hymns. According to a number of commentators on the text, these are baptismal hymns. Last
section - a brief story about the writing of the book and its hiding on Mount Charaxio, as well as a colophon with
information about the scribe.
Most researchers attribute the Gospel of the Egyptians to the so-called "Sethian texts"
(Pan, 39, 40). They also include the Three Steles of Seth, Allogene, Marsan, Melchizedek,
untitled text from Codex Bruce, Apocalypse of Adam, Zostrian, Gospel of Judas,
"Trinity Protennoia". The Gospel of the Egyptians also contains common plots with
Apocryphon of John and Wisdom of Jesus Christ.

The Holy Book [of the Egyptians], the Great invisible [Spirit], the Father, whose name is indescribable,
[happened] (15) from the heights of [perfection], light [eons] of light, light of [Silence of Pro]noia and
the Father of Silence, [the light] of word and truth, the light of incorruptibility, the light of the infinite, the radiance from
aeons of light of the Father, unmanifested, unsigned, ageless, unevangelized, (5) Aeon
aeons, self-begotten, self-begotten, giving birth, foreign, Aeon truly true.
Three forces came out of him, they are Father, Mother. Son, - (10) from the Silence of the living that comes from
The incorruptible father. These came from the silence of the unknown Father.
[And] from that place came Domedon Doxomedon, (15) [eon] of aeons and [light] of each of [their] forces 2.
[And] behold, the Son came out fourth, Mother - [fifth, Father] - sixth 3; being (20) ... but [he] is not proclaimed,
not marked among all [powers] and incorruptibility. From that place [came out] three powers, (42) three Ogdoads 4,
which he in silence and with his Pronoia5 produced from his womb, they are Father, Mother, Son. (5)

1 Gnostic Triad Father - Mother - Son. Wed correspondences in the "Revelation of Adam", "Threefold
Protennoye”, “Zostrians”, “Three Steles of Seth”. This triad comes from "the silence of the Unknown
Father" through his self-disclosure.
2 Aeon can mean both a spiritual entity and the "abode" of the entities of the spiritual world. IN
In this case, the aeon Domedon Doxomedon appears in the second function: it serves as a "place"
Trinity, whence all other emanations come. Aeon name of Greek origin. Δοξα -
"glory", μεδω - "to manage".
3 The triad is built here not according to headship or seniority, as usual, but in reverse order.
Here you can establish a certain pattern: the order of the heavenly hierarchy is “top down”
accompanies the cosmogonic narrative, and the enumeration "from the bottom up" to the apocalyptic one, where the visionary ascends through the heavenly spheres to the deity. Here
enumeration from lowest to highest as when receiving revelation.
4 Ogdoad - octuplet. Here each ogdoad consists of one element of the triad and seven
accompanying heavenly powers. Perhaps this is not only a collection of entities, but also their
monastery. Cf.: "For the Father, Who is called "Man the Self-Father", this (Father) appeared (and) created
Himself a great Aeon, whose name is Ogdoad, according to His greatness. (The Wisdom of Jesus
Christ).
5 Pronoia - "fishery", "providence". This name appears in the text for the first time as an attribute.
Great invisible spirit (40:17-18). "Silence" and "Pronoia", judging by the context, the designations
female hypostasis of the pre-principle of the Unknown Father; the name Pronoia is further applied to other
female deities. Wed the names of the supreme female hypostasis in the teachings of the Valentinians: Silence and
Ennoia (Irenaeus. 1, 1, 1).
2

The first ogdoad is the one by which the Thrice-male child came into being; she is Ennoia, the Word,
Incorruptibility and Eternal Life, Will, Mind (10) and Foresight, Male Father. 6
The second power-ogdoad Mother, Barbelon, virgin επι τι τιωχ ....αι μεμνεαιμεν7(15) above the sky καρβ...
power inexplicable, Mother inexpressible; [it originated] from itself ... originated; [she] (20)
united with the Father of [Silence] silent.
The third [power]-ogdoad - the Son of Silence [silent] and the crown of Silent Silence, [and] glory
Father, and virtue [of the Mother.] And he produces from the womb seven powers of great light, seven
8 voices, and the fullness of the Word.
These are the three (5) [powers], the three ogdoads, which the Father in his Pronoia produced from his womb: he
produced them in that place.
There came forth Domedon Doxomedon, (10) an eon of aeons, and a throne in it, and powers around it, glory and
incorruptibility. The father of the great light came from Silence. (15) This is the [great] eon Doxomedon, [in]
it also rests [Thrice] a male child 10. And installed [in it] the throne [of glory] of him, [that]

6 The first Ogdoad consists of the Father and 7 of his attributes. They are also found in the Apocryphon of John,
but three of them refer to Christ, and four to Barbelo.
7 Magical names are given, which should personify the seven spiritual powers of the Ogdoada
Mothers. There were probably 7 of them.
8 In the description of the ogdoad of the Son, his seven emanations are not listed, but only characterized
general definitions. The indication of "seven voices", according to E. Smagina, may be due to
with Greek cosmological ideas about the seven celestial spheres, with which
seven notes are identified - "voices" of heavenly harmony or seven vowels of the alphabet.
However, in this case, the Ogdoad of the Son is not connected with the creation of the celestial spheres belonging to
lower deities.
9 E. Smagina: This sums up the description of the three ogdoads. It is noteworthy that the emanations of the central
deities are described according to completely different principles: the Father has philosophically meaningful smart
essence, the Mother has magical powers, the Son has the steps of cosmic harmony. Perhaps the presentation
The three ogdoads are nothing but the characteristics of the universe in three different aspects. Before us, as it were
eight trinities describing the center and different levels of the universe.

10 The appearance of the thrice-male child will be discussed later. Apparently, this entity
identical with or one of the emanations of the Son.

11 7 vowels of the Greek alphabet, each letter is repeated 22 times.
12 Further, the manifestation of the entities of the mountain world occurs according to the following scheme: 1) The entire pantheon
praises the supreme deity and asks him "for strength." 2) At their request, another emanation arises.
3) The new emanation, together with all the previous ones, glorifies the supreme deity and asks him “for strength”, etc. This scheme is present in the "Apocrypha of John", "The Wisdom of Jesus Christ" and
Manichaean Kefalia.
13 Thrice male Child - Filling the great eon of generation have the same qualities,
that the Thrice-male Child. They are characterized as “male offspring”, possessing
trinity qualities. The word "male" is used to characterize the level of the heavenly
hierarchy. The element "thrice" - denotes a superlative degree. The child is probably identical
Son of the Gnostic Trinity.
14 In the text "Muzhedeva Joel". The name "Joel" is most likely put either by mistake, or
restored incorrectly. Juel appears below - this is the Mother of the second triad. "Silence" here is an epithet of the Mother, i.e. most likely we are talking about the Mother of the Gnostic Trinity Father-Mother-Son.
This formula is repeated several times in the text, in this place should be Muzhedeva
Barbelon as in passage 62.1.

16 The scheme of development of emanations is repeated: the Son prays “for strength” and becomes the Father of the second triad.
17 Muzhedeva Yuil - Mother of the second Triad, performs the same function as Barbelo in the First
Trinity. Second Triad: Father (Thrice male child) - Mother (Juel) - Child Child (Esefeh). IN
"Allogene" acts as a spiritual entity - the interpreter of revelation. In pseudepigraph
"Revelation of Abraham" the name of the interpreter angel is Yahoel.
18 The son of the second triad is called the Child of the child (obviously, because the Father of this triad is Thrice
male child). This is the name of the spiritual essence in Pistis Sophia (125, 3; 147, 38) and in the 2nd
book of Jeu” (30b, 11; 31b, 1). "Child of the Child of Ephesech" - Zostrian's companion during the ascent (Zostrian
13, 8). The name is most likely of magical origin.
19 The Greek σφραγις "seal" also has the meaning of an initiation or prohibition imposed
initiation: in early Christianity it is baptism, in Manichaeism it is a commandment-prohibition.
Transformed into an angel, Zostrian undergoes five baptisms, which can be seen as
receiving the "five seals" Thus, the "seals" can mean the abodes of the members of the triad,
the levels that the soul passes through during ascension. The "Five seals" are also mentioned in the Apocrypha
John", "The Trinity Protennoye", "The Book of the Majesty of the Father". The Gospel of Philip says
about the five Gnostic sacraments, but whether they are equivalent to the "five seals" is unknown.
20 The text on pp. 57-58 is poorly preserved, apparently containing a description of related
triad of heavenly powers and their inhabitants
21 Describes the descent of divine providence - Pronoya in the created eons. We
we return to the beginning again, on pages 40 and 42 Pronoya is described as an attribute or hypostasis
First principles, i.e. it comes directly from the Invisible Spirit.

number of which is "Sif". The thrice-male child is also referred to as the "Great Christ

24 The fact that the Logos addresses only the Great Invisible Virgin Spirit points to
especially close relationship between the Logos and the First Principle. Just above it says that the Logos
descended directly from the Great Invisible Spirit. At the same time, it is unprecedentedly called
Son of Christ. The passage is cryptic. Perhaps the Logos is a force emanating from the Father and acting
through Christ.
25 In Gnostic texts, a female entity, such as Sophia, usually takes the form of a cloud.
Here in the cloud is a spiritual entity whose name is Myrothea, possibly Greek
origin. In "Zostriana" "Mirothea is [the one in whom] the divine Autogen [manifested] together
with [Adamas]; she is the thought of a perfect mind about her own existence, (about) who she is, how
it began to exist, and that it exists. Its appearance in the text is apparently caused by
the need to construct another Trinity: Logos - Mirofei - Adamant. in three stelae
Seth Pigeradamant is himself called Mirothea.
26 Possibly distorted. Greek Ει εν - "You are one".
27 Although Adamant is here called the "First Man," this passage says that he is light
descended from Man (Logos? Father?). Further, Adamant is called the Father, since he
acts as the Father of new generations, and in addition performs an important saving
function. Wed “The Wisdom of Jesus Christ”: “(And) immediately the Light of the Beginning of that appeared in the First
Man, immortal, androgynous, so that through that immortal (Man) people would gain
salvation and awakened from oblivion thanks to the Interpreter who was sent to this one,
Who is with you to the end of the Poverty of robbers.

gospel of the egyptians

The holy book of the Egyptians about the great invisible Spirit, the Father, whose name cannot be spoken, he is the one who came from the heights of perfection, the light of the light of the aeons of light, the light of the silence of providence,<и>The Father of silence, the light of the word and truth, the light of incorruptibility, the infinite light, the radiance from the eons of light of the unmanifested, unsigned, ageless, undeclared Father, the eon of eons, the Autogenes, the self-born, giving birth, alien, truly true eon.

Three powers came from him; they are: the Father, the Mother, (and) the Son, from the living silence that proceeds from the incorruptible Father. These came from the silence of the unknown Father.

And from that place came Domedon Doxomedon, the aeon of aeons and the light of each of these powers. And thus the Son arose fourth; Mother - fifth; Father is sixth. It was […] but not proclaimed; unmarked among all the powers, splendors and incorruptibility.

From that place came three powers, three ogdoads, which the Father in urination, together with his foresight, produced from his bosom, i.e. Father, Mother, (and) Son.

<Первая>ogdoad, that - because of which the thrice-male child came into being, which is the thought, and the word, incorruptibility and eternal life, desire, mind and foresight, the male Father.

The second power-ogdoada is Mother, virgin Barbelon, epititioh […] ai, memeneimen […] ruling over the sky, karb […], inexplicable force, inexpressible Mother. She was born from herself […]; it arose; she united with the Father of silent silence.

The third power-ogdoada is the Son of silent silence and the crown of silent silence, and the glory of the Father and the virtue of the Mother, he produces from the womb seven forces of great light, these seven voices. And the word is their fullness.

These are the three powers, the three ogdoads, which the Father, through his providence, brought forth from his womb. He produced them in that place.

Domedon Doxomedon arose, an aeon of aeons, and a throne in it, and powers around it, splendor and imperishability. The father of the great light, descended from silence, is the great Doxomedon-eon, in which rests a thrice-male child. And the throne of his glory is established in him, on which his secret name is inscribed, on a tablet (with an inscription) [...] one is the word, the Father of the light of all, he who came from silence and rests in silence, he whose name is in an invisible symbol . A hidden, invisible mystery arose:

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOO (7 vowels, 22 times each)

And thus these three powers gave praise to the great, invisible, nameless, virginal Spirit and his man and asked for power. The silence of living silence, glory and incorruptibility in eons appeared […] eons, myriads were added […], thrice male, three male offspring, the glory of the Father, the glory of the great Christ, and male offspring, filled the great eon Doxomedon with the power of the word of the entire Pleroma.

Then the thrice-male child of the great Christ, anointed by the great invisible Spirit, whose power was called Ainon, gave praise to the great invisible Spirit and his male virgin Juel, and the silence of the silent silence, and the greatness that [...] inexpressibly […] inexpressibly […] unanswerable and inexplicable, the first manifest and unproclaimed […] who is beautiful […] inexpressible […] who are all greatness from the greatness of the silence of that place. Thrice the male child offered up praise and asked for strength from the great invisible virgin Spirit.

Then appeared in that place […] who […] sees glory […] treasures in […] invisible mysteries in […] silence, who is the courageous Jehuil.

Then a child of a child arose, Esefech.

And in this way, the five seals, named Father, Mother, Son, were filled, an irresistible power, which is the great Christ of all the incorruptible ...

Then Pronoia came from silence, and the living silence of the Spirit, and the Word of the Father, and light. She […] five seals, those that the Father made out of his womb, and she went through all the aeons that I mentioned above. And she set up thrones of glory, and myriads of angels countless around them, powers and glories incorruptible, and they sing and praise, all of them, with one voice, with a voice never-silent, […] of the Father, and the Mother, and the Son […] and all the pleromas, as I mentioned before, who is the great Christ, who is from the Silence, who is the incorruptible child, Telmael Telmachael Eli Eli Mahar Mahar Seth, the living power is truly true, and the man of man, who is with him, Jehuil, and Esefech the glorious, the child of the child, and the crown of glory of his […] five seals, the Pleroma that I mentioned before.
