The Gospel according to Thomas

(With The Words of Christ in Blue letters)

1:1 These are the coded words which the Living Jesus spoke and Didymos (twin) Judas Thomas wrote.
1:2 And He said: Whoever finds the explanation of these words will not taste death.
1:3 Jesus said: Let him who seeks, not cease seeking until he finds, and when he finds, he will be troubled, and when he has been troubled, he will marvel and he will reign over the All.
1:4 Jesus said: If those who lead you say to you: "See, The Kingdom is in heaven", then the birds of the heaven will precede you.
1:5 If they say to you: "It is in the sea," then the fish will precede you.
1:6 But The Kingdom is within you and it is without you.
1:7 If you will know yourselves, then you will be known and you will know that you are the sons of the Living Father.
1:8 But if you do not know yourselves, then you are in poverty and you ARE poverty.
1:9 Jesus said: The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a little child of seven days about the place of Life, and he will Live.
1:10 For many who are first shall become last and they shall become a single one.
1:11 Jesus said: Know what is in thy sight, and what is hidden from thee will be revealed to thee. For there is nothing hidden which will not be manifest.
1:12 His disciples asked Him, they said to Him: Wouldst thou that we fast, (see 2:17) and how should we pray and should we give alms, and what diet should we observe?
1:13 Jesus said: Do not lie; and do not do what you hate, for all things are manifest before Heaven. For there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed and there is nothing covered that shall remain without being uncovered.
2:1 Jesus said: Blessed is the lion (Jew) which the Man (Christ) eats and the lion (Jew) will become man (Christ's); and cursed is the man whom the lion (Jew) eats and the man will become lion (a Jew).
2:2 And He said: The Man is like a wise fisherman who cast His net into the sea, He drew it up from the sea full of small fish; among them He found a large and good fish, that wise fisherman, He threw all the small fish down into the sea, He chose the large fish without regret. Whoever has ears to hear let him hear.
2:3 Jesus said: See, the sower went out, he filled his hands, he threw. Some seeds fell on the road; the birds came, they gathered them. Others fell on stony ground and did not strike root in the earth and did not produce ears.
2:4 And others fell on the thorns; they choked the seed and the worm ate them.
2:5 And others fell on the good earth; and it brought forth good fruit; it bore 60 per measure and 120 per measure.
2:6 Jesus said: I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I guard it until the world is afire.
2:7 Jesus said: This heaven shall pass away and the one above it shall pass away, and the dead are not alive and the Living shall not die.
2:8 In the days when you devoured the dead, you made it seem alive; when you come into Light, what will you do? On the day when you were one (human-being) you became two (human+Being). But when you have become two what will you do? (see 4:10)
2:9 The disciples said to Jesus: We know that thou wilt go away from us. Who is it who shall be great over us?
2:10 Jesus said to them: Wherever you have come, you will go to James the Righteous (see James' Gospel); and the righteous are those for whose sake heaven and Earth came into being.
2:11 Jesus said to His disciples: Make a comparison to Me and tell Me whom I am like. Simon Peter said to Him: Thou art like a righteous angel.
2:12 Matthew said to Him: Thou art like a wise man of understanding.
2:13 Thomas said to Him: Master, my mouth will not at all be capable of saying whom Thou art like.
2:14 Jesus said: I am not thy Master. Because thou hast drunk, thou hast become drunk from the bubbling spring which I have dug out. And He took him, He withdrew, He spoke three words to him.
2:15 Now when Thomas came to his companions, they asked him: What did Jesus say to thee?
2:16 Thomas said to them: If I tell you one of the words which He said to me, you will take up stones and throw at me; and fire will come from the stones and burn you up.
2:17 Jesus said to them: If you fast (ritually), you will beget sin for yourselves (Matt. 6), and if you pray (in churches), you will be condemned, and if you give alms (to the churches), you will do evil to your spirits. And if you go into any land and wander in the regions, if they receive you, eat what they set before you, heal the sick among them.
2:18 For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but what comes out of your mouth, that is what will defile you.
3:1 Jesus said: When you see Him who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves upon your face and adore Him: He is your Father.
3:2 Jesus said: Men possibly think that I have come to throw peace upon the world and they do not know that I have come to throw a division upon the Earth, fire, sword, war. For there shall be five in a house: three shall be against two and two against three, the father against the son and the son against the father, and they will stand as solitaries.
3:3 Jesus said: I will give you what eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what hand has not touched and what has not arisen in the heart of man (Truth).
3:4 The disciples said to Jesus: Tell us how our end will be.
3:5 Jesus said: Have you then discovered the beginning so that you inquire about the end? For where the beginning is, there shall be the end (Alpha & Omega). Blessed is he who shall stand at the beginning, and he shall know the end and he shall not taste death.
3:6 Jesus said: Blessed is he who was before he came into being.
4:1 Jesus said: If you become disciples to Me and hear My words, these stones (Commandments) will minister to you. For you have five trees in Paradise which are unmoved in Summer or in Winter, and their leaves do not fall (the Torah).
4:2 Whoever KNOWS them will not taste death.
4:3 The disciples said to Jesus: Tell us what The Kingdom of Heaven is like. He said to them: It is like a mustard-seed, smaller than all seeds. But when it falls on the tilled earth, it produces a large branch and becomes shelter for the birds of heaven.
4:4 Mary said to Jesus: Whom are thy disciples like?
4:5 He said: They are like little children who have installed themselves in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say: "Release to us our field". They take off their things before them to release the field to them and to give back their field to them.
4:6 Therefore I say: If the lord of the house knows that the thief is coming, he will stay awake before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his kingdom to carry away his goods.
4:7 You then must watch for the world, gird up your loins with great strength (the Truth) (Eph. 6:14) lest the brigands find a way to come to you, because they will find the advantage which you expect.
4:8 Let there be among you a man of understanding; when the fruit ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand he reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear let him hear.
4:9 Jesus saw children who were being suckled. He said to his disciples: These children who are being suckled are like those who enter The Kingdom. (El Shaddai - the Breasted One - God). A baby suckling has only one source of nourishment and can have no other. Those who enter The Kingdom have ONLY God as their supply of Spiritual food and no other.
4:10 They said to Him: Shall we then, being children, enter The Kingdom? Jesus said to them: When you make the two one, and when you make the inner (the Being) as the outer (the human) and the outer (human) as the inner (Being) and the below (you) as the above (God), and when you make the male and the female into a single one, so that the male will not be male and the female not be female, when you make eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in the place of a hand, and a foot in the place of a foot, and an image in the place of an image, . . . . . . . . . . . . . THEN shall you enter The Kingdom.
5:1 Jesus said: I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one.
5:2 His disciples said: Show us the place where Thou art, for it is necessary for us to seek it.
5:3 He said to them: Whoever has ears let him hear. Within a man of Light there is Light and he Lights the whole world. When he does not shine, there is darkness.
5:4 Jesus said: Love thy brother as thy soul, guard him as the apple of thine eye (Enoch 99:2).
5:5 Jesus said: The mote that is in thy brother's eye thou seest, but the beam that is in thine eye, thou seest not. When thou castest the beam out of thine eye, then thou wilt see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye.
5:6 Jesus said: If you fast not from the world, you will not find The Kingdom; if you keep not the Sabbath as Sabbath, you will not see the Father.
5:7 Jesus said: I (Christ) took my stand in the midst of the world and in flesh (inside Jesus) I appeared to them; I found them all drunk, I found none among them athirst. And my soul was afflicted for the sons of men because they are blind in their hearts, and do not see that empty they have come into the world, and that empty they seek to go out of the world again.
5:8 But now they are drunk. (like Thomas had been - in 2:14) When they have shaken off their wine, then will they repent.
6:1 Jesus said: If the flesh has come into existence because of the spirit, it is a marvel; but if the spirit has come into existence because of the body, it is a marvel of marvels (impossible). But I marvel at how this great wealth (the spirit-Being) has made its home in this poverty (the body).
6:2 Jesus said: Where there are three angels (Enoch 89:41), they are angels; where there are two or one, I am with him.
6:3 Jesus said: No prophet is acceptable in his village, no physician heals those who know him.
6:4 Jesus said: A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it ever be hidden.
6:5 Jesus said: What thou shalt hear in thine ear and in the other ear, that preach from your housetops; for no-one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but he sets it on the lampstand, so that all who come in and go out may see its Light.
6:6 Jesus said: If a blind man leads a blind man, both of them fall into a pit. Jesus said: It is not possible for one to enter the house of the strong man and take him (or it) by force, unless he bind his hands; then will he ransack his house.
6:7 Jesus said: Take no thought from morning until evening and from evening until morning for what you shall put on.
6:8 His disciples said: When wilt Thou be revealed to us and when will we see Thee (the Christ)?
6:9 Jesus said: When you take off your shame without being ashamed, and take your clothes (bodies) and put them under your feet as the little children and tread on them, then shall you behold the Son of the Living One and you shall not fear.
6:10 Jesus said: Many times have you desired to hear these words which I say to you, and you have no other from whom to hear them. There will be days when you will seek Me and you will not find Me.
7:1 Jesus said: The Pharisees (politicians) and the Scribes (lawyers) have received the Keys of Knowledge, they have hidden them. They did not enter, and they did not let those enter who wished.
7:2 But you, become wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
7:3 Jesus said: A vine has been planted without the Father and, as it is not authorised, it will be pulled up by its roots and be destroyed.
7:4 Jesus said: Whoever has to hand, to him shall be given; and whoever does not have, from him shall be taken even the little which he has.
7:5 Jesus said: Become "Passers-by".
7:6 His disciples said to Him: Who art Thou that Thou should say these things to us.
7:7 Jesus said to them: From what I say to you, you do not know who I am, but you have become as the Jews, for they love the tree, they hate its fruit and they who love the fruit (equality) they hate the (Fig) tree.
7:8 Jesus said: Whoever blasphemes against the Father, it shall be forgiven him, and whoever blasphemes against the Son, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either on Earth or in heaven.
7:9 Jesus said: They do not harvest grapes from thorns, nor do they gather figs from thistles; for they give no fruit.
7:10 A good man brings forth good out of his treasure, an evil man brings forth evil things out of his evil treasure, which is in his heart, and speaks evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things (Jere. 17:9).
8:1 Jesus said: From Adam until John the Baptist there is among those who are born of women none higher than John the Baptist, so that his eyes will not be broken.
8:2 But I have said that whoever among you becomes as a child shall know The Kingdom, and he shall become higher than John.
8:3 Jesus said: It is impossible for a man to mount two horses and to stretch two bows, and it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters, otherwise he will honour the one and offend the other.
8:4 No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine; and they do not put new wine into old wineskins, lest they burst, and they do not put old wine into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it.
8:5 They do not sew an old patch on a new garment, because there would come a tear.
8:6 Jesus said: If two make peace with each other in this one house, they shall say to the government: "Be moved", and it shall be moved.
8:7 Jesus said: Blessed are the solitary and Elect, for you shall find The Kingdom; because you come from it and you shall go there again.
8:8 Jesus said: If they say to you: "From where have you originated?", say to them: "We have come from the Light (Enoch 39:8), where the Light has originated through itself (Enoch 105:25). It stood and it revealed itself in their image".
8:9 If they say to you: "Who are you?", say: "We are His sons and we are the Elect of the Living Father". If they ask you: "What is the sign of your Father in you?", say to them: "It is a movement and a rest".
8:10 His disciples said to Him: When will the repose of the dead come about and when will the new world come? He said to them: What you expect has come, but you know it not.
9:1 His disciples said to Him: twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel and they all spoke about Thee.
9:2 He said to them: You have dismissed the Living One who is before you (Christ) and you have spoken about the dead.
9:3 His disciples asked Him: Is circumcision profitable or not? He said to them: If it were profitable, their father would beget them circumcised from their mother. But the true circumcision in Spirit has become profitable in every way.
9:4 Jesus said: Blessed are the poor [that are rich in spirit], for yours is The Kingdom of Heaven.

10:2 The man did not permit the workers to pull up the weed.
10:3 He said to them: Lest perhaps you go to pull up the weed and pull up the wheat with it.
10:4 For on the Day of the Harvest the weeds will appear, they will pull them and burn them. Jesus said:
10:5 Blessed is the man who has suffered, he has found the Life.
10:6 Jesus said: Look upon the Living One as long as you live, lest you die and seek to see Him and be unable to see.
10:7 They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judaea.
10:8 He said to His disciples: Why does this man carry the lamb with him? They said to Him: In order that he may kill it and eat it.
10:9 He said to them: As long as it is alive, he will not eat it, but only if he has killed it and it has become a corpse.
10:10 They said: Otherwise he will not be able to do it.
10:11 He said to them: You yourselves, seek a place for yourselves in Repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten.
10:12 Jesus said: Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, the one will Live. Salome said: Who art thou, man, and whose son? Thou didst take thy place upon my bench and eat from my table.
10:13 Jesus said to her: I am He who is from the Same, to Me was given from the things of My Father.

11:4 Jesus said: A Man had guest-friends, and when he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant to invite the guest-friends. He went to the first, he said to him: "My Master invites thee". He said: "I have some claims against some merchants; they will come to me in the evening; I will go and give them my orders. I pray to be excused from the dinner". He went to another, he said to him: "My Master has invited thee". He said to him: "I have bought a house and they request me for a day. I will have no time". He came to another, he said to him: "My Master invites thee". He said to him: "My friend is to be married and I am to arrange a dinner. I shall not be able to come. I pray to be excused from the dinner.
11:5 He went to another, he said to him: "My Master invites thee". He said to him: "I have bought a farm, I go to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I pray to be excused". The servant came, he said to his Master: "Those whom thou hast invited to the dinner have excused themselves".
11:6 The Master said to his servant: "Go out to the roads, bring those whom thou shalt find, so that they may dine. Tradesmen and merchants shall not enter the places of My Father".
12:1 He said: A good man had a vineyard. He gave it to husbandmen so that they would work it and that He would receive its fruit from them.
12:2 He sent His servant so that the husbandmen would give Him the fruit of the vineyard. They seized His servant, they beat him; a little longer and they would have killed him.
12:3 The servant came, he told it to His Master. His Master said: "Perhaps they did not know him".
12:4 He sent another servant; the husbandmen beat him as well. Then the owner sent His Son. He said: "Perhaps they will respect My Son". Since those husbandmen knew that he was the heir of the vineyard, they seized him, they killed him.

12:10 Blessed are the hungry, for they will fill their belly with what they desire.

13:14 Jesus said: Whoever is near to me is near to the fire, and whoever is far from me is far from The Kingdom.
13:15 Jesus said: The images are manifest to man and the Light which is in them is hidden in the Image of the Light of the Father. He will manifest Himself and His Image is concealed by His Light.
13:16 Jesus said: When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into existence before you, which neither die nor are manifested, how much will you bear!
13:17 Jesus said: Adam came into existence from a great power and a great wealth and yet he did not become worthy of you. For if he had been worthy, he would not have tasted death.

15:3 Jesus said: The Kingdom of the Father is like a woman who was carrying a jar full of meal. While she was walking on a foreign road, the handle of the jar broke. The meal streamed out behind her on the road. She did not know it, she had noticed no accident. After she came into her house, she put the jar down, she found it empty.

15:17 Jesus said: The Kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them went astray, which was the largest. He left behind ninety-nine, he sought for the one until he found it. Having tired himself out, he said to the sheep: I love thee more than ninety-nine.

Exerpt from Philip's Gospel

When Eve was in Adam there was no death; but when she was separated from him death came into being. If she go in again, and he take her to himself, death will no longer exist. For this reason a man and woman will leave their parents and cleave one (the woman) to the other (the man) becoming one flesh.

She or he who loves anyone or anything more than me and being part of me (Christ) and allows them, or it, to come in between is unworthy of me and will die.

If the woman had not separated from the man, and had not gone apart from him to talk to Satan, deciding to believe Satan in preference to God, thereby calling God the liar, she would not die with and have caused the man to die. His separation through worshipping the woman first rather than God became the beginning of death. Because of this Christ came, in order that he might remove the separation which was from the beginning, and again unite the two; and that he might give life to those who died in the separation, and unite them (in serving God). But the woman is united to the man in the "Bridal Chamber". Only those who have united in "The Bridal Chamber" (of God) will no longer be separated. Because of this Eve separated from Adam, because she was not united to him in the "Bridal Chamber" of God, and went to serve Satan in his world where he comes between man and woman and between both of them and God.

He whom the woman loves, those whom she will bear are like him: if her husband (or God), they are like her husband (or God); if it is an adulterer (or Satan), they are like the adulterer (or Satan). Often if a woman sleeps with her husband of necessity, but her heart is with the adulterer (or Satan) with whom she is wont to consort (in his world), then what she bears she bears in the likeness of the adulterer (or Satan). But you who are with the Son of God, love not the world but love the Lord, that those you bring forth may not be like unto the world but may be like the Lord.

Man mixes with man, horse mixes with horse, ass mixes with ass. The kinds mix with those of like kind. So also spirit is wont to mix only with spirit and the Word to consort with the Word and the Light to consort with the Light. If thou become man men will love thee. If thou become spirit the Spirit will be joined to thee. If thou become (and not just speak) the Word, it is the Word which will mix with thee. If thou become Light, it is the Light which will consort with thee. If thou become one of those who belong above, those who belong above will find their rest in thee. If thou become horse, or ass, or bull, or dog, or goat, or any other animal of those outside and those below (or as in the case of some people all of them), then neither man nor Spirit, nor the Word nor Light, nor those above nor those within will be able to love thee. They will not be able to find rest in or with thee and thou hast no part in them.

He or she who is a slave against his or her will will be able to become free. He who has become free by the favour of his master and has sold himself again into slavery to his master's enemy will no longer be able to be free. (Seven devils enter the clean house and he is worse then than he was in his first state).
