A Kingdom founded upon the marriage of Wisdom and Jesus of Nazareth, seventh son of Joseph and Mary. This is how the Jesus who lived was adopted by the Father of the Bride—the Father and Source of All: The Ancient of Days, who bestowed him the new name—God Faithful King! 1:2 Mary—whom Jesus called "Magdala“ (The Tower)—said to her disciples, "I will tell you what has been hidden from you. 1:3 These words are the hidden sayings of the Jesus who lived. Whoever interprets these words correctly shall taste death no more.” 1:4 Joseph the carpenter planted a garden because he needed wood for his trade. 1:5 It was Joseph who made The Tau from the trees he had planted. His youngest child was hung from the very tree he had watered with care. 1:6 His child was the Jesus who lived, and the tree he had planted was The Tau. Chapter 2 — 2 · The Agony 2:1 Jesus, along with his disciples—John, whom he called “Beloved”; John’s brother James whom he called "Son of Thunder"; and Simon, whom he called “Pebble,” came to their usual meeting place after supper in Jerusalem, the oil press in Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I pray. 2:2 My Soul–my Soul is aching and yearns to return this body to the earth; wait for me; stay awake this time, Pebble.” 2:3 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if possible, this hour might pass from him. 2:4 Jesus said, “Father, through you all things are possible; take this cup of staggering from my hand and place it into the hands of my tormentors.” Chapter 3 — 3 · The Betrayal 3:1 Immediately – while he continued to pray – Judas of Kerioth, one of the twelve, arrived at the olive press with a crowd carrying swords and torches. 3:2 Judas betrayed Jesus after Jesus called him "scab" (סַפַחַת sappachath) for scolding Magdala for anointing Jesus with costly oil. 3:3 Among the crowd were those infernal serpents who ruled the world, The Builders, watching in secret: Lord Gabrîʾēl, the pontiff (שופט), Lord Mîkāʾēl, the bailiff (סוהר), and Lord Balmāʾēl the sheriff (שטנ). 3:4 Judas had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss, that’s him.” 3:5 Judas immediately approached Jesus and said, “Rebbe, Rebbe,” and kissed him on the cheek. 3:6 The crowd seized Jesus, and restrained him. 3:7 Pebble, standing by, drew his short sword, and cut off Judas's right ear. 3:8 Jesus rebuked the mob, saying, “Have you really come out with swords and torches to arrest me as you would a robber? 3:9 I occupied the Holy Temple for days teaching a new Shema yet you did not arrest me then, did you? But go ahead! Let the vow be fulfilled!” 3:10 Judas had stepped aside while Jesus spoke to tend his wound. He tried to cauterize it with pyromancy—but the fire recoiled within him at the word ‘fulfilled’, consuming him from the inside out. Everyone fled. 3:11 John was following the crowd, hoping to save Jesus. He was wearing nothing but a linen garment when the crowd seized him. 3:12 But John slipped out of the linen, and he ran away naked. 3:13 The crowd led Jesus to Caiaphas, the High Priest of Israel, where all the chief priests, the council of elders, and the scribes who weren’t in the crowd were assembled. 3:14 Pebble followed the crowd from a distance and managed to make it to the inside of the courtyard of the High Priest. He blended in with the servants, and warmed himself near the fire – standing by. Chapter 4 — 4 · The Trials 4:1 Joseph ben Caiaphas, the High Priest, and all the Sanhedrim were seeking testimony against Jesus — to put him to death. And Lord Gabrîʾēl, the pontiff (שופט) stood among them as an imposter. 4:2 The pontiff bore false witness against Jesus saying, "We heard him saying — I'm going to destroy The Temple, and in three days I will build another without hands and without God!" 4:3 The High Priest rose from his seat and questioned Jesus, saying, "Now you have nothing to say, heretic?" 4:4 Jesus remained silent, and did not answer anything. The pontiff took possession of Caiaphas, and questioned Jesus, saying "How many powers are in Heaven?" The chief priests were aghast at the question as the pontiff left him. 4:5 Jesus answered the pontiff and said, "One. And you will see me sitting at the right hand of that power when I ascend to the stars in Heaven!" 4:6 The High Priest tore his clothing and said, "I've heard enough evil. I move we bring him to the governor at dawn." And they all condemned him worthy of death. 4:7 Finally, in the morning, they bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Caesar’s appointed governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate. As soon as Jesus sat before Pilate, Lord Gabrîʾēl took possession of the governor and interrogated him. 4:8 “Are you the Messiah?” The words left Pilate's lips before he fully grasped them. Jesus answered the pontiff, “You say so.” 4:9 The chief priests were surprised at Pilate's familiarity with the term and accused Jesus of many more things, but the pontiff grew impatient, their control over Pilate wavering. 4:10 The pontiff again pressed Jesus, forcing their words through Pilate's mouth, “Have you no answer? See how many more things they testify against you!” 4:11 But Jesus made no further answer, and the pontiff, astonished, withdrew from Pilate, leaving him uneasy. He washed his hands thinking how he might rid himself of Jesus immediately. 4:12 Now, during the feast of Passover, Pilate customarily released one prisoner to them of the people's choosing. 4:13 There was an insurrectionist who called himself the “Son of the Father,” bound with his fellow insurrectionists—men who, in the insurrection, had committed murder against Roman authorities. 4:14 The mob cried out, urging Pilate to do as he had always done for them. 4:15 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews, or the Son of the Father?” 4:16 The chief priests stirred up the mob so that he would release the Son of the Father to them. 4:17 Wishing to quell the mob, Pilate released the Son of the Father to them. After flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified. 4:18 The soldiers led Jesus away into the Praetorium; together, they assembled the whole cohort of Rome’s most wicked tormentors. 4:19 They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, placing it on him, then removing it repeatedly. 4:20 They spat on him, bent their knees pretending to pay homage, beat him, kicked him, and one soldier struck his head with a reed. 4:21 “The robbers left him half dead on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. 4:22 By chance, a priest saw him and passed him by. 4:23 So likewise, a Levite passed him by. 4:24 But a Samaritan came upon him and was moved with compassion. 4:25 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 4:26 The next day he took out a loan, gave it all to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’ 4:27 Now, Mary, which of these three do you think seemed to be a ‘neighbor’ to the man who was beaten by the robbers?” 4:28 Mary of Bethany sat at Jesus’s feet, clinging to every word. 4:29 “The one who showed mercy and compassion. Yes, now go and be like him.” 4:30 Mary’s sister, Martha, was distracted by her many tasks in the house, so she came to him and asked, “Rebbe, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell Mary to ‘go and be like your sister.’ 4:31 Jesus laughed and said, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things, 4:32 but few things are needed – indeed only one. By sitting at my feet, Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.” 4:33 When Jesus regained consciousness, the floggers stripped him of the purple cloak and dressed him in his own clothes. Then they led him out to crucify him. Chapter 5 — 5 · The Crucifixion 5:1 They compelled a passerby, who was returning from laboring in the fields, to carry The Tau. This day laborer, Simon of Cyrene, was a father to two young boys, Alexander and Rufus. 5:2 Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means “The Cranium of Humanity.” 5:3 Someone offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not drink. Instead, he peered into the cup and his mind began to slip into the past. 5:4 What Jesus saw in the reflection of the glistening mixture was the familiar face of his first evangelist, a Samaritan woman. Jesus began to speak to her as if she were there, and said, “Will you give me a drink?” 5:5 Back then, at Jacob's well, Photine said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” 5:6 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked me for a drink instead, and I would have given you divine water.” 5:7 “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Divine water? 5:8 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?” 5:9 “Everyone who drinks water will be thirsty again, 5:10 But those who drink divine water never thirst, for within you is the spring of divine water gushing with eternal life.” 5:11 “Sir, how do I draw this water? I don’t want to keep coming here.” 5:12 “Go, call your husband, and come back.” 5:13 “I have no husband.” 5:14 “True, you’ve had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. Do I have it right?” 5:15 “I see you’re a lively oracle. 5:16 Well then, oracle, our ancestors worshiped here on Mount Gerizim, but your people say we must worship in Jerusalem.” 5:17 “The time is fast approaching you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 5:18 For now, you worship what you do not know. I worship what I know—that Salvation comes from The Father.” 5:19 “I know that The King is coming.” 5:20 Then, coming up out of Jacob’s well, Wisdom appeared like a dove, rested upon Jesus, and said, 5:21 “Salvation! I, Wisdom, have called you to justice! I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a sole covenant for your people and a beacon for the Gentiles, 5:22 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison, and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.” 5:23 Leaving her water jar, the Samaritan woman ran back to the town and said to the people, 5:24 “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! I know he is The King! A spirit spoke and rested upon him! I heard every word! Come and see The King! Praise God! Praise God!” 5:25 At the third hour, the centurion gathered three nine-inch nails to affix Jesus upon The Tau—one through his left palm, another through his right palm, and a single piercing through both ankles. 5:26 The centurion smiled for he took delight in torture. He gripped the nails and raised the hammer. 5:27 But his hand stopped, and his eyes became pitch black. 5:28 Lord Mîkāʾēl, the bailiff, took possession of him. The centurion's mouth hung open without expression. The centurion's hands now moved with unnatural precision. The bailiff knew exactly where to place the nails to both amplify and prolong the suffering. 5:29 The bailiff drove the first nail through Jesus' left hand. The flesh tore open and the bone shattered. But Jesus remained silent. 5:30 The bailiff drove the second nail through Jesus's right hand. The surrounding area was already drenched in blood. But Jesus remained silent, and he stared directly into the blackened eyes of the centurion. 5:31 The bailiff attempted to smile but the centurion's face twisted as the bailiff drove the third and final nail through Jesus' ankles. One nail through the bones would have made any man look up to the heavens and scream. But Jesus remained silent and kept staring at the bailiff. 5:32 The bailiff's mouth closed shut. Their grip over the centurion began to waver as the man's fingers trembled. 5:33 The centurion fell to his knees, clutching his forehead. His eyes returned to their color when the bailiff departed from him. 5:34 Then the centurion parted Jesus's garments among the others, casting lots on them, what each should take. 5:35 The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “The King of the Jews.” 5:36 And with him they crucified two insurrectionists, one on his right and one even farther to his right. 5:37 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were the Three Marys: Magdala ( The Tower); Mary, the mother of Jesus; and Mary Salome, the mother of the apostles James and John—the reason he named the brothers “The Sons of Thunder.” 5:38 These women followed Jesus from Galilee for all three years of ministry, and many more women had followed him to Jerusalem. 5:39 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support Jesus out of their own means. 5:40 Those who passed by mocked him, wagging their heads and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 5:41 save yourself, and come down from The Tau!” 5:42 Let ‘The King’, ‘The King of Israel’, come down from The Tau now, that we may see and believe him.” 5:43 At the sixth hour had come, darkness covered the whole land until the ninth hour. Chapter 6 — 6 · Death and Romance 6:1 At the ninth hour, Jesus felt the Divine Presence of Wisdom separating from him and cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi lamah sabachthani? (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?)” and Wisdom returned to him. 6:2 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, recognized the words of David and said, “Behold, he is calling for Elijah with the psalm!” 6:3 One ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.” But Jesus knew all the words and all the interpretations of all the Scriptures by heart—and they did not. 6:4 Jesus cried out with a loud voice as Wisdom lifted his spirit up while his body died. A rainbow burst from the body of Jesus, piercing through the darkened clouds. The crowd murmured, some fell silent, and the centurion stared upward in awe. 6:5 When the centurion who stood by opposite him saw the rainbow burst forth, he yielded his spear. His voice was hoarse. “The heavens have spoken! This was a king!” 6:6 Pebble noticed the centurion, astonished, had yielded his spear. So he courageously grabbed the spear and claimed the body of Jesus. 6:7 “Fellow Jews and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 6:8 This is what is said through the prophet Moses, 'I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.' 6:9 This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses. 6:10 Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him King, this Jesus whom you crucified." 6:11 As Pebble spoke to the crowd Magdala, his mother Mary, Mary Salome, and all the other women, having brought myrrh and aloes ran to him and anointed him for burial. After doing so the women mourned and wept. Except Magdala. She looked to the sky. 6:12 Then, to the astonishment of all, Nicodemus son of Gurion, an honorable counselor who himself was a disciple of Jesus in secret, having brought fine linen, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher that had been hewn out of rock on his own estate. And the eleven rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulcher. 6:13 Meanwhile, a far cry from Heaven, Wisdom carried Jesus at the speed of light to the edge of creation, where light frays into nothingness. Awaiting them at the threshold stood Lord Balmāʾēl, the sheriff (שטנ), with the screech owl (לילית) perched upon their sinister shoulder. 6:14 The sheriff said to Jesus, “I saw God descend that fateful night, and now I see you, Jesus of Nazareth, seventh son of Joseph and Mary, ascend in His stead? No one slips by me. Your Soul...is mine! 6:15 Jesus replied, and said, "I saw you; you neither saw me, nor did you recognize me. To you I was a garment, and you did not recognize me." 6:16 The screech owl's shrills bounced like balls against the firmament, each echo ricocheting wildly, collapsing into silence. The sheriff accused Jesus, and said, “How did you even get this far?! You are fettered in adultery! Absolutely shackled, and you judge God?!” 6:17 And Jesus said, "I have been fettered, yet I have not fettered. I was unrecognized, yet I have recognized that the All is dissolving, both earthly and heavenly things." 6:18 Then the sheriff realized as they began to dissolve, and said, "That Voice... it cannot be?! You bastard!" 6:19 Jesus and Wisdom pierced the veil—faster than the speed of light. Both the sheriff and the owl saw two Wisdoms yet neither was truly there. Chapter 7 — 7 · Matrimony and Coronation 7:1 The Spirit of Jesus ascended to the dawn of creation with Wisdom. His Spirit appeared like a Human Being and They came before The Ancient of Days. Wisdom presented Jesus as Her Bridegroom, speaking these vows: 7:2 “Salvation... I, Wisdom, called to You out of distress, and You answered Me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard My voice. 7:3 I was cast into the deep, into the heart of the dark waters, the flood surrounded Me; the waves and the billows passed over Me. 7:4 Then I said, ‘Have I been banished from Your sight? Will I ever look upon Your face again?’ 7:5 The waters closed in over Me; the deep surrounded Me; weeds were wrapped around My head at the roots of mountains. 7:6 I went to the land whose bars closed upon Me forever; yet you brought My life from the Pit. 7:7 As My life was ebbing away, I remembered You, and My prayer came to You, into Your heart and soul. 7:8 Those who worship the vanities of this world forsake their true loyalty. 7:9 But not I! I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will give Myself to You, and what I have vowed, I will pay: I, Wisdom, belong to Salvation, and You, Salvation, belong to I, Wisdom. ” 7:10 A Voice came out of The Father, The Mother said, “Well pleased Am I with this Sacred Marriage! Salvation, on this day My Child, I have begotten you. I now pronounce you, 'God Faithful King (אל מלך נאמן El Melekh Ne'eman)'. Let the two become one!” 7:11 The Spirit of Jesus became one with Wisdom and dominion was given to him—glory, Kingship. That all the peoples, nations, and languages should follow him. An everlasting dominion which will not pass away. A Kingdom that will not be destroyed. Chapter 8 — 8 · Return 8:1 Three days had passed. After the Sabbath, as the first light of dawn broke on the first day of the week, Magdala and Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to the sepulcher to see the tomb. 8:2 Behold—God Faithful King met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came forward, fell at His feet, and worshiped Him. 8:3 The King turned to His mother and said, “Mary, Magdala is your son now.” Then He said to Magdala, “Magdala, your mother.” And from that time on, Magdala took Mary into her home. 8:4 Then The King said, “Magdala, go and tell our brothers in Galilee; I will see you there—after I walk with Mary for a while.” Chapter 9 — 9 · The Apostle to The Apostles 9:1 Magdala rode to Galilee and told those eleven who had been with the Jesus who lived, as they mourned and wept. 9:2 John asked, "How are we supposed to convince all the Gentiles Jesus had good news for them too?" 9:3 Philip said, "They were quick to kill Him, it's only a matter of time for the rest of us." 9:4 She greeted them and said to her brothers, 9:5 “Do not weep or mourn, nor let your hearts be divided, for grace will be with you all and will protect you. 9:6 Rather, we should praise greatness, for He’s prepared us—made us perfect humans, like the Perfect Man.” 9:7 When she said these things, she turned their hearts toward the Kingdom of Heaven and they started to debate the hidden sayings of Jesus. 9:8 Pebble said to her, “Sister, we know Jesus loved you more than all other women. 9:9 I remember asking Jesus, ‘Why do You love her more than all of us?’ and He replied, ‘Why do you not understand why I love her? When one who is blind and one who sees are both in dark, they are no different from one another. 9:10 But when the light comes, the one who sees will behold the light, 9:11 and the one who is petrified will remain in the dark.’ 9:12 Tell us the words of Jesus that you remember–the things He spoke to you, which we haven’t yet heard.” 9:13 Magdala began to speak to the eleven: “I,” she said, “I saw the Spirit of Jesus in a dream and I said to Him, ‘Rebbe, I can see You! I’m having a vision, aren’t I?’ 9:14 In response, He said to me, ‘Blessed is the one who doesn’t waver at the sight of Me, 9:15 for where the mind is, there is treasure.’ 9:16 I said, ’I want to understand everything, precisely as it is.’ 9:17 He said, ‘Whoever looks for life, this will be their wealth, because the rest the world gives is false, and its gold and silver are deceitful.’ 9:18 I asked him, ‘Rebbe, while I am wearing a body, from where do my tears flow, from where does my laughter come?’ 9:19 He answered, ‘It is the body that weeps on account of its deeds, and on account of the deeds that still remain to be done. 9:20 It is the mind that laughs on account of the fruits of the spirit. 9:21 And know this about the mind: fear is the mind plague. 9:22 If you fear what is soon to overtake you, it will overpower you. 9:23 Look instead at what is inside you, because you, Magdala, have proven to Me mastery every earthly thing.’ 9:24 I said to him, ‘I understand, Rebbe. Now does the one who sees a dream see it in the soul or in the spirit?’ 9:25 He replied, ‘They do not see in the soul or in the spirit, but in the mind. The mind exists in between the soul and the spirit. The mind is what sees the vision in the dream.’ 9:26 ‘Rebbe, you have shown me our spirits are not destroyed—but will our bodies be destroyed, or not?’ 9:27 He said to me, ‘Every creation within creation exists in and with each other. 9:28 But they will all dissolve again into their source of their formation, for the nature of created matter is to dissolve into its roots and its roots are rooted in Our Father, The Ancient of Days. 9:29 Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!’ 9:30 I said to Him, ‘Since You have explained almost everything to me, Rebbe, tell me one more thing—what is the sin of the world?’ 9:31 He said, ‘Sin is not essential to the world. What you call “sin” arises when you act from your nature The Builders made you ashamed of. They taught the laws to Noah and Moses knowing your flesh would transgress them—and so they named you “sinners.” 9:32 You have heard it said that I came to condemn sinners and to fulfill the laws of your Builders. But I tell you, I have come to restore humanity to its root—to awaken the spark in each and every Human Being— 9:33 My Mother, THE Hר200 Oו6 Lח8 Yה5 Sק100 Pד4 I Rש300 I Tר200. 9:34 But you all love what deceives you. 9:35 So you grow sick and die. 9:36 Passions come from the materials of our flesh. They have no analog to the human spirit, for passions come from what is contrary to the spirit’s nature. 9:37 The consequence is confusion in the human flesh. This is why I told you—be content at heart. 9:38 If you remain discontented at heart, then seek contentment in the myriads of places and people this world has to offer—before your separation. 9:39 Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!’ 9:40 I said to Him, ‘Wait, Rebbe! What was the prayer You told me to say to the screech owl when I am separated—to break the wheel?’ And He told me exactly what to say: 9:41 ‘What binds me has been killed. What surrounds me has been overcome. My desires have vanished, and my ignorance has died. 9:42 My soul has been released from the earth, my spirit freed from my body, and my mind lifted from the fog of imaginary amnesia. 9:43 From this moment forward, I will receive the rest of this time, of this season of the age, in silence.’” Chapter 10 — 10 · The Great Commission 10:1 When Magdala had said these words, she fell silent—because the Spirit of Jesus had spoken with her up to this point, before she woke from the dream. 10:2 In response, Andrew said to the eleven, “Say what you will about what Magdala has said, but I do not believe that Jesus said these things—because these teachings seem like strange ideas.” 10:3 Beloved John said, “I believe Her,” and Philip said, "And so do I," and Twin Twin said, "Why shouldn't we believe her?" 10:4 Pebble said, “But Jesus wouldn’t speak with a woman without our knowledge—and not publicly with us... would he? 10:5 What, are we just going to turn around and all listen to her? 10:6 Did he prefer her to us?” 10:7 Then Magdala said to Pebble, “My brother Pebble, what are you thinking? Do you really think that I made this up by myself in my own heart, or that I’m lying about God Faithful King?” The eleven began to murmur, “God... Faithful... King?" 10:8 And as they sat at the table, God Faithful King appeared among them. There were no words. He rebuked the apostles who doubted Magdala for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed Magdala. 10:9 The King said to them, “Peace be with you! Let my peace settle within you. 10:10 Now, be careful not to let anyone mislead you by saying ‘Look over here!’ or ‘Look over there!’ Because I exist within you! Follow me there! 10:11 Those who seek Me within will find Me within. 10:12 Go now. Speak of the Kingdom—not as something far off, but as somewhere near, offered freely to the children of humanity. 10:13 Do not set down new rules beyond what I’ve given. Do not become lawgivers like The Builders, or else you’ll be shackled by your own rules. 10:14 If people ask you, ‘Where have you come from?’ Tell them: ‘We have come from the Light, from the place where the Light is produced of its own accord.’ If someone says to you, ‘ What are you?’ Say: ‘We are the children and the chosen of the One Father.’ If people ask you, ‘What sign of your Father is in you?’ Tell them: ‘We run and return.’ 10:15 Pay the last penny while you are still alive. If you die and then try to pay, you will not be able to.” 10:16 Pebble started to say, “Rebbe—", but then hesitated. He corrected himself, saying, "My Lord, it is time Magdala left! If Eve was not worthy of eternal life—” The King interrupted him, “Look, Pebble, am I to put her back into the man’s side? Must I truly do this so that she may become a living spirit too? Magdala's spirit is equal to you men, because every woman and every man who commingles male and female will enter our Father’s Kingdom.” 10:17 When He said these things, The King began to ascend to the Kingdom. 10:18 Magdala yelled “My Lord! Wait! What day will You appear to us? What day will we see You again?” As He ascended, The King said, “When you make the two become one; when you make the inside like the outside, and the outside like the inside; when you make the male and female one, so that the male is no longer male, and the female no longer female. 10:19 When you strip yourselves without being ashamed, when you take off your clothes and lay them at your feet and trample them like little children— That is when you will see Me, when you forget you were ever afraid.” 10:20 When The King had left them, Levi, whom He called Matthew, “The Gift That Gives,” turned to Pebble and said, “Simon, you have always been angry. And now I see you accusing Magdala—" Matthew stopped himself before comparing Pebble to the sheriff. 10:21 Then he continued saying, "If The King made Her worthy, who are you to rebuke Her? 10:22 Certainly He knows her very well. That’s why He loved Her more than us.” 10:23 Then Matthew lifted up his voice and said, “Rather we should be unashamed—cultivate the Divine Presence of Wisdom, acquiring The Father's light for ourselves as He instructed us, and preaching the Good News of The Kingdom available to every Human Being—not laying down any other commandment other than The Great Commandment: ‘ Love your neighbor, with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength.’” 10:24 When Matthew had said these things, they rose up and began to go out—to teach and to preach. The Good News according to Mary the Magdala (The Tower).
