He cites it as a \u201cheretical\u201d Gnostic gospel in which Jesus allegedly reveals secret mysteries to Mary. One of the most controversial claims Epiphanius preserves is that it describes a ritual where Jesus performs a sexual act with Mary Magdalene on a mountain, and has her consume his semen. According to Epiphanius, this was used to justify sacred sexual rites among certain Gnostic groups such as the Borborites\/Phibionites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The preserved fragment reads (Panarion 8:2):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>8:2 For in the so-called &#8216;Greater Questions of Mary&#8217;\u2014there are also &#8216;Lesser&#8217; ones forged by them\u2014they claim that he reveals it to her after taking her aside on the mountain, praying, producing a woman from his side, beginning to have sex with her, and then partaking of his emission, if you please, to show that &#8216;Thus we must do, that we may live.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This shocking description was almost certainly written down by critics to portray the sects as scandalous. Still, some scholars suggest it reflects a&nbsp;<strong>real esoteric teaching<\/strong>&nbsp;where semen was regarded as a&nbsp;<strong>sacred elixir of life<\/strong>\u2014a notion echoed in other Gnostic, Tantric, and alchemical traditions, where sexual fluids are treated as carriers of divine power or gnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Questions of Mary<\/em>, preserved only in Epiphanius\u2019 hostile report, describes Jesus taking Mary up a mountain, producing semen, and having her consume it, saying, \u201cThus must we do, that we may live\u201d (<em>Panarion<\/em>&nbsp;26.8). While likely polemical distortion, it may echo a genuine&nbsp;<strong>Gnostic \u201cBridal Chamber\u201d mystery<\/strong>, where sexual union and the sharing of vital fluids symbolized divine gnosis, the reunion of spirit and matter, and the soul\u2019s ascent to eternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the full text from Epiphanius<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Epiphanius writes the following about the Gnostics, and this is our only source for the contents (<em>Panarion<\/em>, 26.8.1 &#8211; 26.9.5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>8:1 And they too have lots of books.
