Section 13

1What he revealed to us is what he spoke: “When I was about to come here from the Father of all things and passed through the heavens, I put on the wisdom of the Father and the power of his might. I was in heaven, and I passed by the archangels and angels in their likeness, as though I were one of them, among the principalities and powers. I passed through them because I possessed the wisdom of him who had sent me.

2“Michael, the chief captain of the angels, together with Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael, followed me to the fifth firmament, for they thought in their hearts that I was one of them. Such power was given to me by my Father. On that day I adorned the archangels with a wonderful voice so that they would go to the altar of the Father, serve, and fulfill their ministry until I returned to him.

3“Thus I fashioned the likeness by my wisdom, for I became all things to all, so that I might praise the plan of the Father, fulfill the glory of him who sent me, and return to him.”
