50. Yeshua says: If they say to you: From whence do you come?, say to them: We have come from the Light, the place where the Light has originated thru itself— he [stood] and he himself appeared in their imagery. If they say to you: Who are you?, say: We are his Sons and we are the chosen of the Living Father. If they ask you: What is the sign of your Father in you?, say to them: It is movement with repose. (Isa 28:12 30:15, Lk 16:8, Jn 12:36, Th 27; Bhagavad-Gita 6.27: ‘When his mind is tranquil, perfect joy comes to the person of discipline; his passion is calmed, he is without sin, being one with the Infinite Spirit.’) 51. His Disciples say to him: When will the repose of the dead occur, and when will the New World come? || He says to them: That which you look for has already come, but you do not recognize it. (Th 113) 52. His Disciples say to him: Twenty-four prophets° proclaimed in Israel, and they all spoke within thee. || He says to them: You have ignored the Living-One who is facing you, and you have spoken about the dead. (Th 5; quoted by St Augustine, Contra adversarium legis et prophetarum II.4.14; James Joyce, Ulysses 14.112: ‘You have spoken of the past and its phantoms.... Why think of them?... I ... am lord and giver of their life.’) 53. His Disciples say to him: Is circumcision beneficial or not? || He says to them: If it were beneficial, their father would beget them circumcised from their mother. But the true spiritual circumcision has become entirely beneficial. (Dt 10:6!) 54. Yeshua says: Blest are the poor, for the Sovereignty of the Heavens is yours. (Dt 15:11, Jas 2:5-7, =Lk 6:20; Jack Kerouac, Visions of Cody: ‘Everything belongs to me because I am poor’; note that the Greek of Mt 5:3, ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΙ ΟΙ ΠΤΩΧΟΙ ΤΩ ΠΝΕΥΜΑΤΙ, can be read equally ‘Blest the poor in spirit’ or ‘Blest in spirit the poor’— of which the latter makes more sense, since the parallel at Lk 6:20+24 explicitly concerns economic poverty/wealth rather than spiritual humility/pride) 34
55. Yeshua says: Whoever does not hate his father and his mother will not be able to become a Disciple to me. And whoever does not hate his brothers and his sisters and does not take up his own cross¹ in my way, will not become worthy of me. (¹anti-Gnostic; =Lk 14:26-27) 56. Yeshua says: Whoever has recognized the world-system has found a corpse— and whoever has found a corpse, of him the world is not worthy. (Wis 13:10) 57. Yeshua says: The Sovereignty of the Father is like a person who has [good] seed. His enemy came by night,¹ he sowed a weed among the good seed. The man did not permit them to pull up the weed,¹ he says to them: Lest perhaps you go forth saying: ‘We shall pull up the weed’, and you pull up the wheat along with it. For on the day of harvest the weeds will appear— they pull them and burn them. (¹asyndeton; II-Pt 3:15-17?!, =Mt 13:24-30) 58. Yeshua says: Blest is the person who has suffered— he has found the life! (asyndeton; Mt 5:10-12, Jas 1:12, IPt 3:14; Victor Hugo, Les Misérables: ‘To have suffered, how good it is!’; Naguib Mahfouz, ‘Zaabalawi’, God’s World: ‘Suffering is part of the cure!’) 59. Yeshua says: Behold the Living-One while you are alive, lest you die and seek to perceive him and be unable to see! (Ecc 12:1-8) 60. (They see) a Samaritan° carrying a lamb, entering Judea. Yeshua says to them: Why does he (take) the lamb with him? || They say to him: So that he may kill it and eat it. || He says to them: While it is alive he will not eat it, but only after he kills it and it becomes a corpse. || They say: Otherwise he will not be able to do it. || He says to them: You yourselves— seek a place for yourselves in repose, lest you become corpses and be eaten. (Th 1 50; Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain: ‘The spiritual possibility of finding salvation in repose.’) 35
