THE 114 SAYINGS OF YESHUA
Gospel of Thomas
These are the words of the secret. They were revealed by the living Yeshua. Didymus Judas Thomas wrote them down.
Saying 1
"Whoever lives the interpretation of these words will no longer taste death."
Saying 2
"Whoever searches must continue to search until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. And being disturbed, they will marvel and will reign over all."
Saying 3
"If those who guide you say, Look, the kingdom is in the sky, then the birds are closer than you. If they say, Look, it is in the sea, then the fish already know it. The kingdom is inside you, and it is outside you. When you know yourself, then you will be known. And you will know that you are the child of the living Father. But if you do not know yourself, you will live in vain, and you will be vanity."
Saying 4
"An aged person will not hesitate to ask a seven-day-old infant about the place of life, and that person will live. Many of the first will make themselves last, and they will become one."
Saying 5
"Recognize what it is in front of you, and what is hidden from you will be revealed. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed."
Saying 6
"Stop lying. Do not do that which is against your love. You are naked before heaven. What you hide will be revealed. Whatever is veiled will be unveiled."
Saying 7
"Fortunate is the lion eaten by a human, for lion becomes human. Unfortunate is the human eaten by a lion, for human becomes lion."
Saying 8
"A human being is like a good fisherman who casts his net into the sea. When he pulls it out, he finds a multitude of little fish. Among them there is one fine, large fish. Without hesitation, he keeps it and throws all the small fish back into the sea. Those who have ears, let them hear."
Saying 9
"Once a sower went out and sowed a handful of seeds. Some fell on the road and were eaten by birds. Some fell among the thorns, which smothered their growth, and the worms devoured them. Some fell among the rocks and could not take root. Others fell on fertile ground, and their fruits grew up toward heaven. They produced 60 and 120 units per measure."
Saying 10
"I have sown fire upon the world, and now I tend it to a blaze."
Saying 11
"This sky will pass away, and the one above it will also pass away. The dead have no life, and the living have no death. On days when you ate what was dead, you made it alive. When you are in the light, what will you do? When you were one, you created two. But now that you are two, what will you do?"
Saying 12
"When you find yourself at that point, go to James, the just. All that concerns heaven and earth is his domain."
Saying 13
"Thomas said: 'Master, my mouth could never utter what you are like.' Yeshua told him: 'I am no longer your master, because you have drunk, and become drunken from the same bubbling source from which I spring.' Then he took him aside and said three words to him. Thomas answered the others: 'If I told you even one of the things he said to me, you would pick up stones and throw them at me, and fire would come out of those stones and consume you.'"
Saying 14
"If you fast, you will be at fault. If you pray, you will be wrong. If you give to charity, you will corrupt your mind. When you go into any land and walk through the countryside, if they welcome you, eat whatever they offer you. You can heal their sick. It is not what goes into your mouth that defiles you. It is what comes out of your mouth that defiles you."
Saying 15
"When you see someone who is not born from a womb, then prostrate yourselves and give worship, for this is your Father."
Saying 16
"People may think that I have come to bring peace to the world. They do not know that I have come to sow division upon the earth, fire, sword, war. When there are five in a house, three will be against two, and two against three, father against son, and son against father. And they will stand, and they will be alone and simple. Monachos."
Saying 17
"I will give you that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no hand has touched, and no human heart has conceived."
Saying 18
"What do you know of the beginning, so that you now seek the end? Where the beginning is, the end will also be. Blessed are those who abide in the beginning, for they will know the end and will not taste death."
Saying 19
"Blessed is the one who is before existing. If you become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will serve you. In paradise there are five trees that do not change from summer to winter. Their leaves do not fall. Whoever knows them will not taste death."
Saying 20
"It is like a grain of mustard, the tiniest of all seeds. When it falls upon well-plowed ground, it becomes a great tree, where birds of heaven will come to rest."
Saying 21
"Mary asked: 'What are your disciples like?' He answered: 'They are like little children who have gone into a field that does not belong to them. When the owners return and say, Give us back our field, they will remove their clothes, see themselves naked before the owners, and leave the field to them. This is why I say, If the master of the house knows that a thief is coming, he will be vigilant and not allow the thief to break into the house of his kingdom or carry off his goods. Thus you should be vigilant toward the world. Strengthen yourselves with great energy, or the robbers will find a way to get to you. May there be a wise person among you. When the crop is ripe, he comes immediately and harvests it with his sickle. Those who have ears, let them hear.'"
Saying 22
"When you make the two into one, when you make the inner like the outer, and the high like the low, when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male is not male and the female is not female, when you have eyes in your eyes, a hand in your hand, a foot in your foot, and an icon in your icon, then you will enter into the kingdom."
Saying 23
"I will choose one of you from a thousand and two of you from ten thousand, and they will stand as one, alone and simple."
Saying 24
"Those who have ears, let them hear. There is light within people of light, and they shine it upon the whole world. If they do not shine it, what darkness?"
Saying 25
"Love your brother and sister as your soul. Protect them as you do the pupil of your eye."
Saying 26
"You see the sliver in your brother's eye, but you do not see the log in your own eye. When you remove the log from your eye, then you will see clearly enough to remove the sliver from your brother's eye."
Saying 27
"If you do not fast from the world, you will not find the kingdom. If you do not celebrate the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not know the Father."
Saying 28
"I stood in the midst of the world and revealed myself to them in the flesh. I found them all intoxicated. Not one of them was thirsty, and my soul grieved for the children of humanity, for they are blind in their hearts. They do not see. They came naked into the world, and naked they will leave it. At this time they are intoxicated. When they have vomited their wine, they will return to themselves."
Saying 29
"If flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of flesh, it is a wonder of wonders. Yet the greatest of wonders is this. How is it that this being, which is, inhabits this nothingness?"
Saying 30
"Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with them."
Saying 31
"No one is a prophet in his own village. No one is a physician in his own home."
Saying 32
"A strong city built upon a high mountain cannot be destroyed, cannot be hidden."
Saying 33
"What you hear with your ears, tell it to other ears, and proclaim it from the rooftops. No one lights a lamp so that it will be put under a basket or hidden somewhere. Rather, one puts it upon a stand so that all who enter and leave may see the light."
Saying 34
"When a blind person leads another blind person, they both fall into a pit."
Saying 35
"One cannot capture the house of the strong except by tying their hands. Then everything can be overturned."
Saying 36
"Do not worry from morning to evening, or from evening to morning, about having clothes to wear."
Saying 37
"On the day when you are naked as newborn infants who trample their clothing, then you will see the Son of the Living One and you will have no more fear."
Saying 38
"Often you have wanted to hear the words I speak to you now. No one else can say them to you. And the days will come when you seek me and do not find me."
Saying 39
"The Pharisees and the scribes have received the keys of knowledge and hidden them. They did not go within, and those who wanted to go there were prevented by them. As for you, be as alert as the serpent and as simple as the dove."
Saying 40
"A grapevine planted away from the Father has no vitality. It will be torn up by its roots and will perish."
Saying 41
"Whoever has something in hand will be given more. Whoever has nothing, even the little they have will be taken away."
Saying 42
"Be passers-by."
Saying 43
"Do you not know me from what I say to you? Or have you become like those Judeans? If they love the tree, they despise the fruit. If they love the fruit, they despise the tree."
Saying 44
"Whoever blasphemes against the Father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the Son will be forgiven. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either on earth or in heaven."
Saying 45
"Grapes are not picked from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, for they do not give fruit. The good offer goodness from the secret of their heart. The perverse offer perversity from the secret of their heart. That which is expressed is what overflows from the heart."
Saying 46
"From Adam to John the Baptist, no one born of a woman is higher than John the Baptist. Thus his eyes will not be destroyed. But I have said, Whoever among you becomes small will know the kingdom and be higher than John."
Saying 47
"A man cannot ride two horses nor bend two bows. A servant cannot serve two masters, for he will honor one and disdain the other. No one drinks an old wine and then desires a new one. New wine is not put into old wineskins, for they will crack. Old wine is not put into new skins, for it will spoil. A patch of old cloth is not sewn onto a new garment, for it will tear."
Saying 48
"If two make peace with each other in a single house, then they can say to the mountain, Move, and it will move."
Saying 49
"Blessed are you, the whole ones and the chosen ones. You will find the kingdom, for you came from there and you will return."
Saying 50
"If they ask you from where you come, say, We were born of the light, there where light is born of light. It holds true and is revealed within their image. If they ask you who you are, say, We are its children, the beloved of the Father, the Living One. If they ask you what is the sign of the Father in you, say, It is movement and it is repose."
Saying 51
"What you are waiting for has already come, but you do not see it."
Saying 52
"You have disregarded the Living One who is in your presence, and you have spoken of the dead."
Saying 53
"If it were useful, fathers would engender sons born circumcised from their mothers. Rather, it is the circumcision in spirit that is truly useful."
Saying 54
"Blessed are you, the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven."
Saying 55
"Whoever cannot free themselves from their father and their mother cannot become My disciple. Whoever cannot free themselves from their brother and sister and does not bear their cross as I do is not worthy of Me."
Saying 56
"Whoever knows the world discovers a corpse, and whoever discovers a corpse cannot be contained by the world."
Saying 57
"The Father's kingdom is like a person who had good seed. His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The person did not allow the workers to pull up the weeds, but said to them: No, otherwise you might go to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them. For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be conspicuous, and will be pulled up and burned."

"He saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb and going to Judea. He said to his disciples: That person ... the lamb. They said to him: So that he may kill it and eat it. He said to them: While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse. They said: Otherwise he cannot do it. He said to them: You too, look for a place for yourselves within repose, otherwise you might become a corpse and be eaten."
Saying 62
Yeshua said: I tell my secrets to those who are worthy of my secrets. Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Saying 61
Yeshua said: Two will rest on a bed. One will die, the other will live. Salome said: Who are you, person? You have come from a source and have eaten from my table. Yeshua said to her: I am the one who comes from the one who is the same. I was given from that which belongs to my Father. Salome said: I am your disciple. Yeshua said to her: Therefore I say, If one is the same, one will be filled with light. But if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness.
Saying 63
Yeshua said: There was a rich person who had much money. He said: I will use my money to sow, to reap, to plant, and to fill my storehouses with fruit, so that I will lack nothing. This was what he was thinking in his heart, and that very night he died. Those who have ears, let them hear.
Saying 64
Yeshua said: A person had guests. When he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant to invite the guests. The servant went to the first and said to that one: My master invites you. That one said: I have some business with some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them instructions. I beg to be excused from the dinner. The servant went to another and said to that one: My master invites you. That one said to the servant: I have bought a house and I am needed for a day. I will have no time. The servant went to another and said to that one: My master invites you. That one said to the servant: My friend is to be married and I am the one who will attend to the dinner. I will not be able to come. I beg to be excused from the dinner. The servant went to another and said to that one: My master invites you. That one said to the servant: I have bought a village and I am going to collect the rent. I will not be able to come. I beg to be excused. The servant returned and said to his master: Those whom you invited to the dinner have excused themselves. The master said to his servant: Go out into the streets. Bring those whom you find so that they may dine. Buyers and merchants will not enter the places of my Father.
Saying 65
He said: A good person had a vineyard. He rented it to some farmers so that they would work it and he would collect its fruit from them. He sent his servant so that the farmers would give him the fruit of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him, all but killing him. The servant went back and told his master. The master said: Perhaps he did not know them. He sent another servant. The farmers beat that one as well. Then the master sent his son and said: Perhaps they will show respect to my son. Because the farmers knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Those who have ears, let them hear.

Saying 77
"Yeshua said: I am the light that is over all things. I am all. From me all came forth, and to me all has reached. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."
Saying 78
"Yeshua said: Why have you come out into the desert? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a person dressed in soft clothes, like your kings and your powerful ones? They are dressed in soft clothes, and they will not be able to know the truth."
Saying 79
"A woman in the crowd said to him: Lucky are the womb that bore you and the breasts that fed you. He said to her: Lucky are those who have heard the word of the Father and have truly kept it.
