The Gospel (Questions) of Bartholomew 3

1And he departed with them unto the mount Mauria, and sat in the midst of them.
2But they doubted to question him, being afraid.
3And Jesus answered and said unto them: Ask me what ye will that I should teach you, and I will show it you. For yet seven days, and I ascend unto my Father, and I shall no more be seen of you in this likeness.
4But they, yet doubting, said unto him: Lord, show us the deep (abyss) according unto thy promise.
5And Jesus said unto them: It is not good for you to see the deep: notwithstanding, if ye desire it, according to my promise, come, follow me and behold.
6And he led them away into a place that is called Cherubim, that is the place of truth.
7And he beckoned unto the angels of the West and the earth was rolled up like a volume of a book and the deep was revealed unto them.
8And when the apostles saw it they fell on their faces upon the earth.
9But Jesus raised them up, saying: Said I not unto you, 'It is not good for you to see the deep'. And again he beckoned unto the angels, and the deep was covered up.
