Final Exhortation and Joyful Preaching
1.Behold! I have instructed you concerning the name of the Perfect One, the entire will of the holy angels and of the Mother, so that the male host may be brought to completion, so that in all the aeons they could appear, from the infinities to those that came into existence in the unfathomable riches of the Great Invisible Spirit, so that they all could partake in his benevolence, even the riches ‹of their place of repose› without any kingdom over it.
2.And I originated from first sent one, that I could disclose to you He Who Is from the beginning, on account of the pride of the arch-begetter and his angels, because they boast about themselves, saying that they are gods.
3.And I came to free them from their blindness, so that I could announce to everyone concerning the God who dwells above the world.
4.Tread, therefore, on their graves, shame their evil intention, break their yoke, and awaken whoever is my own,
5.because I have granted you authority over everything as the Sons of Light, so that with your feet you could tread on their power.”
6.These are the matters the blessed Savior spoke, and he vanished from their midst.
7.And they were in great, unspeakable joy in the Spirit from that day onward.
8.And his disciples began preaching the divine Gospel of the eternal Father, indestructible forever.

Asked of Guide
Why does Jesus tell disciples to 'tread on their graves' and shame the arch-begetter's angels?
Jesus commands the disciples to tread on their graves and shame the arch-begetter’s angels as a call to dismantle the false authorities that claim divinity; he gives them authority “as the Sons of Light” to break that yoke and awaken his own. The language of treading and breaking expresses liberation: the disciples are empowered to expose the pride and blindness of those rulers so others can know the true God who “dwells above the world.”
This chapter frames the mission as revelatory and joyful—after Jesus vanishes the followers enter “great, unspeakable joy” and preach the divine Gospel of the eternal Father. That tone echoes the Gospel of Thomas and the liberated, knowledge-centered preaching found in other Gnostic texts that emphasize awakening through revelation.
