The Gnostics believe that Jesus’ physical body was not real, but only “seemed” to be physical, and that His spirit descended upon Him at His baptism, but left Him just before His crucifixion.
Gnostics kuamini kwamba mwili wa Yesu kimwili si kweli, lakini tu "walionekana" kwa kuwa wa kimwili, na kwamba roho yake alishuka juu yake wakati wa ubatizo wake, lakini aliondoka kwake tu kabla ya kusulubiwa kwake.
