The Greater Questions of Mary is a lost Gnostic text mentioned by Epiphanius of Salamis in his work Panarion.
The text is associated with the Borborites or Phibionites, a Gnostic sect.
According to Epiphanius, the text contains an episode where Jesus takes Mary Magdalene to a mountain, engages in a sexual act with a woman he pulls out of his side, and then consumes his own semen, instructing Mary to do the same to achieve spiritual life.
This text was part of the sect's rituals and doctrinal views, emphasizing non-procreative sex to free divine sparks trapped in human bodies.
