Metalogos The Gospels of Thomas & Philip & Truth

Adam was. There were in it many
plants as nourishment for the wild
animals, (but¹) it had no wheat as food
for humankind; the human had to be
nourished like the wild animals. But the
Christ was sent, the perfect° person. He
brought forth bread within heaven, so
that humankind could be nourished
with the food of humankind. (¹asyndeton;
Ps 78:25, Jn 6:30-59; NB: ΕΠΙΟΥΣΙΟΝ in Mt 6:11
— its sole occurence in all of Greek literature—
means ‘super-substantial’, not ‘daily’)
16. The authorities were thinking that
by their own power and volition they
enact what they do. Yet the Sacred
Spirit in secret had (all along) been
energizing everything thru them as she
wishes. (e.g. Jer 25:8-9, Jn 19:11!)
17. The truth, which exists from the
origin, is sown everywhere, and the
multitude see it being sown— while yet
few who see it reap it. (Mt 22:14, Th 21)
