Mary of Magdala, re: "the treasure"

The Gospel of Mary (BG 7, 1-19, 5) 1.1-16
Peter said to Mary, "Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of women. Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember – which you know, (but) we do not, nor have we heard them." Mary answered and said,"What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you." And she began to speak to them these words: "I," she said, "I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to him, 'Lord, I saw you today in a vision.' He answered and said to me, 'Blessed are you that you did not waver at the sight of me. For where the mind is, there is the treasure.'"
