Matthew said, ‘Lord, I wish to see that place of life, this place where there is no wickedness, but rather there is pure light!’
The Lord said, ‘Brother Matthew, you will not be able to see it as long as you are wearing flesh.’
Matthew said, ‘Lord, even if I shall not be able to see it, let me know it!’
