"Simon Peter said to them, ‘Mary should leave us, for females are not worthy of life.’ Jesus said, ‘See, I am going to attract her to make her male so that she too might become a living spirit that resembles you males. For every female (element) that makes itself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."
Layton’s translation. The Coptic text is below. I only took it for a semester so I can only read a little bit of it, lol.
There are more translations and some commentary here. Obviously the internet is not the best place to study religion, I just can’t link you to a book always, lol. I do suggest Karen King’s book on the Gospel of Mary Magdala. I’ve taken a course with her on ancient gender and sexuality; she’s quite brilliant.
