13 The winds blow where they please; men hear their voices, and may note results; but they know not from whence they come, nor where they go; and so is every one that is born of Holy Breath.
14 The ruler said, I do not understand; pray tell me plainly what you mean.
15 And Jesus said, The kingdom of the Holy One is in the soul; men cannot see it with their carnal eyes; with all their reasoning powers they comprehend it not.
16 It is a life deep hid in God; its recognition is the work of inner consciousness.
17 The kingdoms of the world are kingdoms of the sight; the kingdom of the Holy One is that of faith; its king is love.
18 Men cannot see the love of God unmanifest, and so our Father-God has clothed this love with flesh—flesh of a son of man.
19 And that the world may see and know this love made manifest, the son of man must needs be lifted up.
20 As Moses in the wilderness raised up the serpent for the healing of the flesh, the son of man must be raised up.
21 That all men bitten by the serpent of the dust, the serpent of this carnal life, may live.
22 He who believes in him shall have eternal life.
