Jack Kerouac, Visions <strong>of</strong> Cody: ‘Everything<br />

belongs to me because I am poor’; note that the<br />

Greek <strong>of</strong> Mt 5:3, ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΙ ΟΙ ΠΤΩΧΟΙ ΤΩ<br />

ΠΝΕΥΜΑΤΙ, can be read equally ‘Blest the poor in<br />

spirit’ or ‘Blest in spirit the poor’— <strong>of</strong> which the<br />

latter makes more sense, since the parallel at Lk<br />

6:20+24 explicitly concerns economic poverty/<br />

wealth rather than spiritual humility/pride)<br />

55. Yeshua says: Whoever does not<br />

hate his father and his mother will not<br />

be able to become a Disciple to me. And<br />

whoever does not hate his brothers and<br />

his sisters and does not take up his<br />

own cross¹ in my way, will not become<br />

worthy <strong>of</strong> me. (¹anti-Gnostic; =Lk 14:26-27)<br />

56. Yeshua says: Whoever has<br />

recognized the world-system has found<br />

a corpse— and whoever has found a<br />

corpse, <strong>of</strong> him the world is not worthy.<br />

(Wis 13:10)<br />
