The Dialogue of the Savior 54-59

The disciples said to him, "What is the fullness and what is the deficiency?"
He said to them, "You are from the fullness and you dwell in the place where the deficiency is. And lo! His light has poured [down] upon me!"
[Matthew] said, "Tell me, Lord, how the dead die [and] how the living live."
The [Lord] said, "[You have] asked me about a saying [...] which eye has not seen, [nor] have I heard it, except from you. But I say to you that when what invigorates a man is removed, he will be called 'dead'. And when what is alive leaves what is dead, what is alive will be called upon."
Judas said, "Why else, for the sake of truth, do they and live?"
The Lord said, "Whatever is born of truth does not die. Whatever is born of woman dies."
