The Second Treatise of the Great Seth

And I did not die in reality but in appearance, lest I be put to shame by them because these are my kinsfolk … For my death, which they think happened, (happened) to them in their error and blindness, since they nailed their man unto their death … Yes, they saw me; they punished me. It was another, their father, who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon (of Cyrene), who bore the cross on his shoulder. I was another upon Whom they placed the crown of thorns … And I was laughing at their ignorance.
