ut cast herself, with a childlike sense of reclining, in the lap of a divine consciousness which sustained her own’; Graham Greene, The Third Man: ‘He never grew up; the world grew up around him, that’s all.’) 5. Yeshua says: Recognize Him who (is) in front of thy face, and what is hidden from thee shall be revealed to thee. For there is nothing concealed which shall not be manifest, {and nothing buried that shall not be raised¹}. (Ps 16:8, =Mt 10:26; in his scriptural Traditions the Apostle Matthias [Ac 1:21-26] relates Christ's logion: ‘Wonder at what is in front of you’— quoted by Clement of Alexandria, Stromata II.9; cp. also Jalaloddin Rumi [XIII century Afghanistan], ‘The Question’, Spiritual Couplets: ‘God's presence is there in front of me’; ¹anti-Gnostic°) 6. His Disciples ask him,¹ they say to him: How do thou want us to fast, and how shall we pray? And how shall we give alms, and what diet shall we maintain? || Yeshua says: Do not lie, and do not practice what you hate²— for everything° is revealed before the face of the sky. For there is nothing concealed that shall not be manifest, and there is nothing covered that shall remain without being exposed.³ (Lev 19:11, Psa 139:1-16, Zech 8:16, Th 14; ¹asyndeton, or omission of conjunctions, characterizing the Semitic languages and Coptic but not Greek— thus signaling an original Semitic text underlying the Greek from which Coptic Thomas was in turn translated; see P338: ‘Asyndeton is commonplace in the Semitic languages, although not characteristic of Greek’, and Matthew Black, An Aramaic Approach to the Gospels and Acts: ‘Asyndeton is, on the whole, contrary to the spirit of the Greek language ... but is highly characteristic of Aramaic’; ²Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov II.2: ‘First and foremost, do not lie!’; Tobit 4:15: ‘Do not practice what thou hate’; Confucius, Analects 8.15: ‘Is there any one word ... which could be adopted as a lifelong rule of conduct?... Is not Empathy the word? Do not to others what you would not like yourself’; Alan Turing, ‘Computing Machinery And Intelligence’, Mind 1950: ‘It is not possible to produce a set of rules purporting to describe what a man should do in every conceivable set of circumstances. One might for instance have a rule that one is to stop when one sees a red traffic light, and to go if one sees a green one; but what if ... both appear 24
together?’; ³the Qur’án 27:75: ‘There is nothing concealed in the heaven and the earth, but it is in a clear book.’) 7. Yeshua says: Blest° is the lion which the human eats— and the lion shall become human. And defiled° is the human which the lion eats— and the [human] shall become [lion]. (Ps 7:1-2) 8. And he says: The [Sovereignty] 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 good fish.¹ That wise fisherman, he threw all the small fish back into the sea,² he chose the large fish without hesitation. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear! (=Mt 13:47-48; ¹Coptic tbt [C401b] = Gk ΙΧΘΥΣ; ²asyndeton;) 9. Yeshua says: Behold, the sower came forth— he filled his hand, he threw. Some indeed fell upon the road— the birds came, they gathered them. Others fell on the bedrock— and they did not take root down into the soil, and did not sprout grain skyward. And others fell among the thorns— they choked the seed, and the worm ate them. And others fell upon the good earth— and it produced good fruit up toward the sky, it bore 60-fold and 120- fold. (multiple asyndeta; Mt 13:18-23, =Mk 4:3-9) 10. Yeshua says: I have cast fire upon the world/system°— and behold, I guard it until it is ablaze. (Joel 2:3, Mt 3:11, Lk 12:49) 11. Yeshua says: This sky shall pass away, and the one above it shall pass away. (I-Ki 8:27!, Isa 65:17, Rev/Ap 21:1, Ph 123) And the dead are not alive, and the living shall not die. (Jn 11:25-26) In the days when you consumed the dead, you transformed it to life— when you come into the Light, what will you do? On the day when you were unitary, you became separated— yet when you have become separated, what will you do? (Mt 24:35, Ph 86!) 12. The Disciples say to Yeshua: We know that thou shall go away from us. Who is it that shall be Rabbi° over us? || Yeshua 25
