Messiah, that the original evolution from the sacred being is light and goodness; (98) evil and darkness are separate from him?. 99. Also this, that is, 'just as a shepherd who provides protection for his hundred sheep, (100) and the wolves carry off one from him, (101) goes after that one which the wolves carried off until he leads it back to the flock, (102) and leaves the ninety-nine of them in the wilderness (dast)?, (103) even so I am come to take care of the defiled, not for the just, (104) because it is needless to bring him who is just into the right way.' 105. That implies, if the original evolution be one, and his will be wholly that no one whatever of it shall be astray and defiled, (106) that even the wolf's slaying the sheep is likewise his will, (107) and the wolf itself was also created by him.
108. The word of the Messiah is specially inconsistently a demonstrator as regards the two original evolutions. 109. As they say this is one of those same statements of the Messiah, that there is another original evolution, an enemy of my father, and I am of that sacred being doing good works?' 110. From this statement it is evident that his own father separates from that enemy, and acts differently.
1.God is light, and in him is no darkness at all' (1 John i. 5).
3.What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?' (Luke xv. 4).
3. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost' (Mat. xviii. 11). "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance' (Luke v. 31, 32).
• He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man: the field is the world: the good seed are the children of the kingdom ; but the tares are the children of the wicked one : the enemy that sowed them is the devil' (Mat. xiii. 37-39). .
