(28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in the flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And My soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent."

(57) O thou blind, half-dead World, cease from thy Judging; O thou blind Jew, Turk, and Heathen, desist from thy calumniating, and submit thyself in Obedience to God, and walk in the Light, then thou wilt see how thou shouldst rise from thy Fall, and how thou shouldst arm thyself in this World against the hellish Fierceness and Wrath, and how thou mayest overcome, and live with God eternally.

(39) Hearken; if it does not become me to ask, then it does not become thee to judge me. Dost thou boast in the Knowledge of the Light, and art a Leader of the Blind, and yet art blind thyself? How wilt thou show the Way to the Blind? Must you not both fall, in your Blindness? But you will say: We are not blind; for we well see the Way of the Light. Why then do you contend, or dispute about the Way of the Light, as if none can see it rightly?
