But before we can appreciate the extraordinary nuances he brought to understanding human transformation, we need first to know something about the context in which he was working. But Jesus was not a priest. He had nothing to do with the temple hierarchy in Jerusalem, and he kept a respectful distance from most ritual observances.
Nor was he a prophet in the usual sense of the term: a messenger sent to the people of Israel to warn them of impending political catastrophe in an attempt to redirect their hearts to God. Jesus was not that interested in the political fate of Israel, nor would he accept the role of Messiah continuously being thrust upon him. Video Audio icon An illustration of an audio speaker.

But they had not yet come to visibility. Now a great difference exists among the imperishables. He called out, saying: "Whoever has ears to hear about the infinities, let him hear!
But whatever came from imperishableness does not perish but becomes imperishable. So, many men went astray because they had not known this difference and they died. The perfect Savior said: "Come you from invisible things to the end of those that are visible, and the very emanation of Thought will reveal to you how faith in those things that are not visible was found in those that are visible, those that belong to Unbegotten Father.
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear! And that whole multitude over which there is no kingdom is called 'Sons of Unbegotten Father, God, Savior, Son of God,' whose likeness is with you. Now he is the unknowable, who is full of ever-imperishable glory and ineffable joy. They all are at rest in him, ever rejoicing in ineffable joy in his unchanging glory and measureless jubilation; this was never heard or known among all the aeons and their worlds until now.
The perfect Savior said: "I want you to know that he who appeared before the universe in infinity, Self-grown, Self-constructed Father, being full of shining light and ineffable, in the beginning, when he decided to have his likeness become a great power, immediately the principle or beginning of that Light appeared as Immortal Androgynous Man, that through that Immortal Androgynous Man they might attain their salvation and awake from forgetfulness through the interpreter who was sent, who is with you until the end of the poverty of the robbers.
And he created a great aeon, whose name is 'Ogdoad', for his own majesty. For from this, God originated divinity and kingdom.
Therefore he was called 'God of gods' and 'King of kings'. All the attributes that exist are perfect and immortal. In respect to imperishableness, they are indeed equal. As I said earlier, among the things that were created, the monad is first. And from what was created, all that was fashioned appeared; from what was fashioned appeared what was formed; from what was formed, what was named.
Thus came the difference among the unbegotten ones from beginning to end. To which of them, then, is this Son related? He reflected with Great Sophia, his consort, and revealed his first-begotten, androgynous son. Some call her 'Love'. Now First-begotten is called 'Christ'. Since he has authority from his father, he created a multitude of angels without number for retinue from Spirit and Light. His disciples said to him: "Lord, reveal to us about the one called 'Man', that we also may know his glory exactly.
The perfect Savior said: "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear. First Begetter Father is called 'Adam, Eye of Light,' because he came from shining Light, and his holy angels, who are ineffable and shadowless, ever rejoice with joy in their reflecting, which they received from their Father. The whole Kingdom of Son of Man, who is called 'Son of God,' is full of ineffable and shadowless joy, and unchanging jubilation, they rejoicing over his imperishable glory, which has never been heard until now, nor has it been revealed in the aeons that came afterward, and their worlds.
