Chapter 76

Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the single pearl for himself. You, too, look for his treasure that is unfailing, that is abiding, where no moth comes near to eat and no worm destroys."

Chapter 77​

Jesus said, "It is I who am the light that is above them all. It is I who am the All. From me did the All come forth, and unto me did the All extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."

Chapter 78​

Jesus said, "Why have you come out to the countryside? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a person dressed in soft clothes, like your rulers and your great ones? They are the ones who wear soft clothes, and they are unable to know the truth."
