The letter and the revelation (NHC version)

1The letter of Peter that he sent to Philip: Peter, the apostle of Yeshua the Anointed, to Philip, our beloved brother and our fellow apostle, and to the brothers who are with you, greetings.

2Now I want you to know, our brother, that we have received commands from our Lord and saviour of the whole world that we should come together to teach and preach in the salvation that was promised to us by our Lord Yeshua the Anointed. But you yourself were apart from us. If it pleases you, our brother, come.

3When Philip received this letter and read it, he went to Peter rejoicing. Then Peter gathered the others. They went up the mountain that is called the mountain of olives.

4When the apostles had thrown themselves on their knees, they prayed: Father of light, hear us, just as you have taken pleasure in your holy child Yeshua the Anointed. Hear us. Give us power, for they are seeking to kill us.

5Then a great light appeared, and a voice spoke from the light: I am Yeshua the Christ. Listen to me, for I shall speak with you about the deficiency of the aeons. The deficiency came from the disobedience of the Mother. The arrogant ruler took a portion. He set up powers and authorities. The powers do not know the unbegotten Father.

6As for the fullness, it is I. I was sent down for the seed that had fallen. The powers war against the inner human. Be ready, for they will hunt you. They will reproach you, but I shall set you free. Endure for a little while.

7When the apostles heard this, they rejoiced. They came down. They preached. They went out into the world. And the testimony was preserved.
