The Revelation of the Son
1.The knowledge of the Father, as well as the revelation of his Son, he granted them the means to know (these), because when they had seen and heard him, he enabled them to taste him, to smell him, and to grasp the beloved Son.
2.When he arrived, he told them of the Father, the inconceivable one.
3.When he breathed into them what dwells inside thought, performing his will, many were they who obtained the light.
4.They repented to him.
5.Because being alien, and not having seen his image, the material people did not recognize him.
6.He came with a fleshly form, and nothing obstructed his journey, given that indestructibility is invincible.
7.He furthermore speaks matters that are new, because he speaks concerning what is inside the heart of the Father, who has given birth to the unstained Logos.
8.After light spoke from his mouth, together with his voice that produced life, he granted them thought and perception, and mercy and salvation, and the spirit of power from the infinity and sweetness of the Father.
9.After terminating punishments and thrashings, given that they were driving people away from his face with error and with fetters those in need of mercy, he annihilated them powerfully, and he exposed them with knowledge.
10.He became a path for those who had strayed and knowledge for those who had been ignorant, a finding for those who had been searching and strength for those who had been trembling, purification for those who had been impure.

Why does the Son come
The Son comes to reveal the Father and give inner faculties: “he enabled them to taste him, to smell him, and to grasp the beloved Son,” so sight and hearing become lived knowing. The chapter says his arrival breathes “what dwells inside thought,” granting light, thought, perception, mercy, salvation, and the “spirit of power” from the Father.
He also undoes the powers that misled people: he “annihilated them powerfully, and he exposed them with knowledge,” making a path for the lost and purification for the impure. This matches Valentinian themes found in other texts like the Gospel of Philip, which treats Christ as revealer who transforms perception into gnosis.
