The Lesser Gospel Written by Buka
1Now after were returned unto Banar Christ spake and saying, Behold, my Father is well pleased in this people. For many people look upon their women as a thing of naught, and they despise them. But this thing is not the will of my Father. For my Father loves women and does not despise them. And you have done well for your women do have a voice and they do have strength, nevertheless they do follow that order which has been established, in that they do follow the rule of their husbands. And their husbands do rule in righteousness for they obey the voice of God. And many other husbands have misused their authority for they do claim to rule righteously but they do mistreat their wives and their children. And these have no place in my Father's Kingdom. But you, my people, do great righteousness in your lives. And even those who did follow me did not understand. For my servant spake unto me saying, Cause Mary to depart from our presence. She is a woman, and women have not the right to live a life. And I spoke unto him saying, Behold, I shall bring woman as well as men. And those who hearken unto me will become a enlightened beings just as you became enlightened beings. For any woman will become righteous like a man who has become righteous will enter the kingdom of heaven. And I spoke this so that they should see that woman may have all the rewards that men have. And that men are not greater than women. And one day as we walked I beheld mothers suckling their young children. And I spoke unto my disciples, Behold these young children for those who shall enter my Father's kingdom must be like unto them. And my disciples did not understand and they asked me, We shall be young children in your Father's kingdom? And I spoke unto them saying, Only when you are joined with another and become one. And when you make your outside clean like unto your inside and you make your inside clean like unto your outside. And when no men and women are no longer single but are one. And when you have replaced your eye with a new eye, and replaced your hand with a new hand, and replaced you foot with a new foot. Only then shall you enter my Father's kingdom. For a young child is new and pure. And you must be pure like unto them.
