In the Portuguese translation:
Os Actos de João passam a contar como Jesus, na noite anterior à sua prisão, a qual antecipava, se juntou aos discípulos em Getesémani:
(...) ele reuniu-nos a todos, e disse: "Antes que eu lhes seja entregue, cantemos um hino ao Pai, encaminhando-nos para aquilo que se encontra à [nossa] frente." De seguida disse-nos para formarmos um círculo e segurarmos as mãos uns dos outros, ele próprio ficando no meio (...)"
"Respondei-me, Ámen", ordenou Jesus aos discípulos, após o que começou a entoar um cântico místico que diz em parte,
"Ao Universo pertence o dançarino". - "Amén".
"Aquele que não dança desconhece o que se passa". - "Amén" (...)
"Ora se seguirdes a minha dança, se vos virdes a vós próprios em Mim que falo (...)
Vós que dançais, considerai o que eu faço, pois vossa é
Esta paixão do Homem que eu devo sofrer. Pois vós não tinhéis como compreender quanto sofreis
a não ser que eu vos vosse enviado pelo Pai como Logos (...)
Aprendei a sofrer e conseguireis não sofrer".
João prossegue:
Depois de o Senhor ter dançado connosco, meus amados, ele saiu [para sofrer]. (...)

Atribuído a Jesus no Evangelho de Tomé:
"Se exteriorizardes aquilo que está dentro de vós, aquilo que exteriorizardes salvar-vos-á. Se não exteriorizardes aquilo que está dentro de vós, aquilo que não exteriorizardes destruir-vos-á."

I was sent forth from the power,
and I have come to those who reflect upon me,
and I have been found among those who seek after me.
Look upon me, you who reflect upon me,
and you hearers, hear me.
You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves.
(...)
For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am
I am the members of my mother.
I am the barren one
and many are her sons.
I am she whose wedding is great,
and I have not taken a husband.
I am the midwife and she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labor pains.
I am the bride and the bridegroom,
and it is my husband who begot me.
I am the mother of my father
and the sister of my husband
and he is my offspring.
I am the slave of him who prepared me.
I am the ruler of my offspring.
But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday.
And he is my offspring in (due) time,
and my power is from him.
I am the staff of his power in his youth,
and he is the rod of my old age.
And whatever he wills happens to me.
I am the silence that is incomprehensible
and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.
I am the voice whose sound is manifold
and the word whose appearance is multiple.
I am the utterance of my name.
(...)
For many are the pleasant forms which exist in numerous sins,
and incontinencies,
and disgraceful passions,
and fleeting pleasures,
which (men) embrace until they become sober
and go up to their resting place.
And they will find me there,
and they will live,
and they will not die again.
