The disciples said to Jesus: “How should we eat? How should we pray? Should we tithe?”

Jesus said: “Don't lie, and don't do what you hate, because heaven knows, all shall be revealed, and nothing covered up will remain secret.”

– Thomas 6

Jesus said: "Those who seek should not stop until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, they will reign over all, and then they will rest."

– Thomas 2

[Bluegreen]

Jesus said: "I will give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, what has never arisen in the human heart."

– Thomas 17

[Bluegreen]

Jesus said: “Blessed is he who came into being before coming into being. If you pay attention, these stones will serve you.

There are five trees in Paradise for you; they do not change, summer or winter, and their leaves do not fall. Whoever knows them will not taste death."

– Thomas 19

Jesus said: "The person long in years won't hesitate to ask a little child seven days old about the place of life; that person will live.

For many of the first will be last, and will become a single one."

– Thomas 4

Jesus said: "A wise fisherman cast his net into the sea and drew it up full of little fish. Among them he discovered a fine large fish. He threw all the little fish back into the sea, and easily chose the large fish. Anyone with two good ears will hear!"

– Thomas 8

[Bluegreen]

Jesus said: "People think I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war.

There will be five in a house: there will be three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father, and they will stand alone."

– Thomas 16

– Thomas 25

The disciples said to Jesus: "Show us the place where you are, for we must seek it."

Jesus said: "Anyone with two ears will listen! There is light within a person of light, and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine, all is dark."

– Thomas 24

The disciples said to Jesus: "Tell us what the kingdom is like."

Jesus said: "It is like a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, but when it falls on prepared soil, it produces a large plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."

– Thomas 10

Jesus said: "The sower went out and scattered a handful of seeds. Some fell on the road, and the birds gathered them. Others fell on rock, and didn't take root. Others fell on thorns, choked the seeds and worms ate them. Others fell on good soil, and produced a fine crop: sixty per measure and one hundred twenty per measure."

– Thomas 9

[Bluegreen]

Jesus said: "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away.

The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. During the days when you ate what is dead, you made it come alive. When you are in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"

– Thomas 11

[Bluegreen]

Jesus said: "You see the sliver in your friend's eye, but you don't see the wood in your own. Take the wood out of your own eye, then you can see."

– Thomas 26

[Bluegreen]

Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples: "These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom."

The disciples said: "Shall we be as babies to enter the kingdom?"

Jesus said: "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the kingdom."

– Thomas 22
