 Salome said to him, Who are You, man, that You, as though from the One, have come up on my couch and eaten from my table?

 Jesus said to her, I am He who exists from the Undivided. I was also given some of these things from my earthly Father.
  
3.
 Salome said, I am Your disciple.
  
4.
 Jesus said to her,Therefore I say, if he is undivided, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness.
  
5.
 Jesus said, It is to those who are worthy of My mysteries that I tell My mysteries.
 
6.
 Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
  
7.
 Jesus said, There was a rich man who had much money. He said, I shall put my money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack nothing.
 
8.
 Such were his intentions, but that same night he died.
 
9.
 Whoever has ears, let them hear!

 Jesus said, A man had received visitors. And when he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant to invite guests.
 
11.
 He went to the first one and said to him, My master invites you.
  
12.
 He said, I have claims against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them my orders. I ask to be excused from the dinner.
 
13.
 He went to another and said, My master has invited you. He said to him, I have just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have any spare time.
 
14.
 He went to another and said to him, My master invites you. He said to him, My friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused from the dinner.
 
15.
 He went to another and said to him, My master invites you. He said to him, I have just bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused.
 
16.
 The servant returned and said to his master, Those whom you invited to the dinner have asked to be excused.
 
17.
 The master said to his servant, Go outside to the streets and bring back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.
 
18.
 Businessmen and merchants will not enter the Places of My Father.
