Codex Tchakos 3 [not from Nag Hammadi]
(pp. 755-769) Gospel of Ioudas Iskariotes
the 13 apostles
|
(p. 761) 36. Iesous said unto Ioudas Iskariotes : "somebody else will take your place, so that the twelve [disciples] may be complete once again". |
"the appointment of Matthias to replace Judas in the circle of disciples according to Acts 1:15-26." (fn. 18) |
|
(p. 764) 44. Ioudas Iskariotes said : "I have seen myself in the vision as the twelve disciples were stoning me". |
These stones may have been the meteors said to the Qur>an to be hurled by hand. |
{so, was St. Stephanos simply Ioudas Iskariotes disguised ?}
there is neither sun nor moon in heaven
|
(p. 764) 45. "that place is kept for the saints, where sun and moon will not rule, nor the day, but they will stand there always". |
"they need no ... light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light : and they shall reign for ever and ever." (Apokalupsis of Ioannes 22:5) |
myriads of holy ones / angels
|
(p. 765) 48. the 1st luminary said : " ‘[Let] an eternal being of light come into existence,’ and ... came ... the second luminary ... with ten thousands of angels". |
"And Enoch also ... prophesied ... saying, Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints" (Epistle of Ioudas 14) |
"The Lord ... came from the myriads holy" (DBRYM 33:2) |
{was Iskariotes an incarnation of H.no^k the descendant of S^et ?}
(p. 766) 49-50. luminaries * heavens * firmaments

|
(p. 768) 55. |
Iesous said : "I’m ... laughing ... because these six stars wander around with these five warriors". |
(the laughing Iesous is Basilidean) |
|
56. |
"already your horn has been lifted up, ... and your star ... and your heart". |
"the day star arise in your hearts" (2nd Epistle of Petros 1:19) |
|
(p. 769) 57. |
"behold the cloud and the light that is within it and the stars that are circling it. And the star that leads the way is your star." {if the other stars repraesent the other disciples, those follower-stars must be 11} |
cf. the dream, by Yo^sep, of 11 stars submitting to him, in B-R>S^YT 37:9 |
{was Iskariotes an incarnation of the Yo^sep of B-R>S^YT ? if so, was he also the re-incarnation of the father of Iesous ?}
