Gospel of Eve • The Lost Books of The Bible

Epiphanius makes this quotation from the Gospel of Eve (Panarion, 26.3.1):

I stood on a lofty mountain and saw a gigantic man, and another, a dwarf; and I heard as it were a voice of thunder, and drew nigh for to hear; and He spake unto me and said: I am thou, and thou art I; and wheresoever thou mayest be I am there. In all am I scattered [that is, the Logos as seed or “members”], and whencesoever thou willest, thou gatherest Me; and gathering Me, thou gatherest Thyself.

It’s possible that this other quotation by Epiphanius derived from the Gospel of Eve: “I saw a tree which bore twelve fruits in the year, and he said to me: This is the Tree of Life.” (Panarion, 26.5.1)

[the only full text we have from the surviving manuscripts themselves is]:

I recognised myself, and gathered myself together from all sides; I sowed no children for the ruler, but I tore up his roots, and gathered together [my] limbs that were scattered abroad; I know thee who thou art, for I am from the realms above.
