Iwould that ye should know what manner of man this was. I WILL TELL the meaning of the tale of the Transfiguration of the Christ,if so ye will it.
And as he spake, we saw Judaswho stood beside the Christ, kiss Him upon the face saying Rabbi! And on each man fell a heavy weariness, and heslept. And not caring for the soul, they becamebut as beasts.
FOR FIRST COMETH THE SPIRITAND OUT OF THE SPIRIT IS THE BODY CREATED.
The priests are wroth at thepopular tumult.
Thus was it with the first three Messengers: First the Body; then theSoul; and then the Spirit.
These three were the first of the Trinities.
And John, being much afraid, said: Who are these, Master?
And he that was the last ofthe three told of that other Trinity the which was to come. Thus had some time passed in which the Christ taught in the gardensround about Jerusalem. Now after three days were past, Jesus spake unto Peter, saying: ARE YEREADY?
Now Moses came first: He it was that gave the Laws. And on each man fell a heavy weariness, and heslept. AND YET ANOTHER HATH BEEN WITH YOU,ALTHOUGH YE KNEW HIM NOT.
FOR THESE THREE ARE ONE AND YET THEY ARETHREE. The Master could tell the purposes of men. This is the meaning here: for I have heard the Christ speak of this.
And after this was accomplished did theChrist take meat with those that were within.
And James, hearing the words spake saying:Will ye not that I come also? FOR NOSOUL SHALL PASS AWAY OUT OF THE BODY WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR EVIL UNTIL ITSTIME IS COME.
And yet another Trinity will come, that cannot yet be told you. And she dried thefeet of the Master with her hair. And she dried thefeet of the Master with her hair. And James cast down his head, again upon the ground, being sore afraid.
At this time was Judas with us, and none might know that evil was withinhim. And James being sore afraid cried out and said: Lord, I am afraid! But Jesusbeing in great heaviness of spirit would not that He should leave thecity. Iwould that ye should know what manner of man this was. In this is much of the mystery of the Trinity revealed unto you. I would have you understand that in the messagelieth a meaning.
Ye must understand that the Blood of Christ still buried within theground is yet another mystery. And as I spake, the dream vanished from before mine eyes and I awoke.
