Art of the Gnostic Gospels

The Greater Questions of Mary

"For in the…Greater Questions of Mary…they posit that [Christ] gave a revelation to her: he took her to the mountain, prayed, and removed from his side a woman; he began to mingle [bodily fluids] with her; and thus, of course, partaking of his own emissions [semen], he indicated that

we must act thus, so that we might live

and when Mary was disturbed and fell to the ground, he raised her up and said to her, "O person of little faith, why did you doubt?" [Mt 14:31]"

(St. Epiphanius, Medecine Chest Against Heresies, Chapter 26, from Bentley Layton’s The Gnostic Scriptures, p.209, pub. A.D.1987)
