Paul asks the Other Apostles to Teach him the Secret Mysteries

45) The apostles brought Mary to the tomb, and after they placed her inside, they sat down to wait for the Lord together, as he had commanded them. And Paul said to Peter, “Father Peter, you know that I am a neophyte, and that this is the beginning of my father in Christ Jesus. For I did not gain possession of the teacher, so that he could tell me the precious mysteries. But I have heard that he revealed everything to you on the Mount of Olives. Therefore, I implore you to reveal them to me.” Then Peter said to Paul, “it is clear that we rejoice greatly that you have come to the faith of Christ, but we cannot reveal these mysteries to you: you are not able to hear them. But wait, for behold, we will remain here for three days, just as the Lord told us. For he will come with his angels to take up Mary’s body, and if he orders us, then we will gladly reveal these things to you.”

46) And while they were seated at the doors of the tomb, debating with each other about doctrine, faith, and many other things, behold, the Lord Jesus Christ came from the heavens, and Michael and Gabriel with him. He sat in the midst of the apostles and said to Paul, “Paul, my beloved, do not be distressed that my apostles have not revealed the glorious mysteries to you. For I revealed them to them on earth: I will teach them to you in the heavens.

47) Then he nodded to Michael, [and Michael spoke] in a truly angelic voice, and the clouds descended to him. And the number of angels on each cloud with a thousand angels, and they uttered praises before the Savior. And the Lord told Michael to take the body of Mary up onto the cloud and to set it down in Paradise. And when the body was taken up, the Lord told the apostles to come closer to it. And when they came onto the cloud, they were singing with the voice of angels, and the Lord commanded the clouds to depart for the East, to the regions of Paradise.

48) And when they came to Paradise, they placed the body of Mary under the tree of life. And Michael brought her holy soul, and they placed it in her body. And the Lord returned the apostles to their places for the conversion and salvation of humankind.
