Gospel of Judas 6:4
Chaos and the Rulers
Jesus Reveals Everything to Judas · Gospel of Judas 6
Open this scene in the reader →4"Now the crowd of those immortals is called ‘cosmos’—that is, ‘perishable’—by the father and the seventy-two luminaries with the Self-Begotten and his seventy-two realms. That’s where the first human appeared with his incorruptible powers. In the realm that appeared with his generation is the cloud of knowledge and the angel who is called [Eleleth …] After these things [Eleleth] said, ‘Let twelve angels come into being [to] rule over Chaos and [Hades].’ And look, from the cloud there appeared an [angel] whose face flashed with [fire] and whose likeness was [defiled] by blood. His name was Nebro, which means ‘Rebel.’ Others call him Yaldabaoth. And another angel, Saklas, came from the cloud too. So Nebro created six angels—and Saklas (did too)—to be assistants. They brought out twelve angels in the heavens, with each of them receiving a portion in the heavens.
