section one - JOHN CHAPTER 10 + THOMAS

PART 1 - SAYING 34 - The Secret Words of Thomas Saying (9-part 2) were created from John 9(40-41end)+10(1-16)

Some fell on the road: And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.^9(40-41) + the birds came: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.¹⁰⁽¹⁾ + they gathered them: But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.^10(2-3) + others fell on the rock: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.^10(4-5) + and did not: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.¹⁰⁽⁶⁾ + strike root in the earth: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.^10(7-9) + and did not produce ears: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.^10(10-11) + and others fell on the thorns: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:^10(12t) + they choked the seed: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.^10(12b-13) + and the worms ate them: I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.^10(14-15) + and others fell on the good earth: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.¹⁰⁽¹⁶⁾ [Note: Saying 9 is a special saying containing two parts, this is part two - See *Note in PART 1 of Chapter 6] [Note: The secret words which formed the Sayings contained in the Gospel of Thomas were created either to acknowledge the information they were created from or to reveal something about the information they were created for. The Sayings themselves have no value.]

END: and others fell on the good earth: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.¹⁰⁽¹⁶⁾ BEGIN: Jesus said to his disciples: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.¹⁰⁽¹⁶⁾ [Note: End/Begin - the secret words which begin a new Saying are always created from the true words of the Gospel of John which the previous Saying has already covered.]

PART 2 - SAYING 62 - The Secret Words of Thomas Saying (13) were created from John 10(16-42 end)+11(1)

Jesus said to his disciples: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.¹⁰⁽¹⁶⁾ + make a comparison: Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.^10(17-18) + and tell me whom I am like: There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.¹⁰⁽¹⁹⁾ + Simon Peter said to him, thou art like a righteous angel: And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?^10(20-21) + Matthew said to him, thou art like a wise man of understanding: And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.^10(22-23) + Thomas said to him, Master, my mouth will: Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.¹⁰⁽²⁴⁾ + not at all: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:^10(25t) + be capable of saying whom thou art like: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.^10(25b) + Jesus said, I am: But ye believe not,^10(26t) + not thy Master: because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.^10(26b) + because thou hast drunk thou hast become drunk: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:¹⁰⁽²⁷⁾ + from the bubbling spring: And I give unto them eternal life;^10(28t) + which I have measured out: and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.^10(28b) + and he took him: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.^10(29-30) + they withdrew: Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man makest thyself God.^10(31-33) + he spoke three words: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?¹⁰⁽³⁴⁾ + to him: If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;¹⁰⁽³⁵⁾ + now when Thomas came to his companions, they asked him, what did Jesus say to thee: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?¹⁰⁽³⁶⁾ + Thomas said to them, if I tell you one of the words which he said to me: If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.^10(37-38) + you will take up stones to throw at me: Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.^10(39-40) + and fire will come from the stones: And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. And many believed on him there.^10(41-42) + and burn you up: Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.¹¹⁽¹⁾

Note: Some fell on the road; the birds came, they gathered them. Others fell on the rock and did not strike root in the earth and did not produce ears. And others fell on the thorns; they choked the seed and the worms ate them. And others fell on the good earth.

● Thomas 64(31-35-End) Part 2 of Chapter 9: The master said to his servant: “Go out to the roads, bring those whom thou shalt find, so that they may dine. Tradesmen and merchants shall not enter the place of my Father”.

● Note: the secret words ‘the road’ and ‘the roads’ are only found in these two Sayings. The End of Saying 64 which contains the secret words ‘the roads’ is followed by Saying 9 part 2 which Begins and contains the secret words ‘the road’. This helps to confirm that Saying 64 was created first from John 9(40-41)+10(1-16) and then Saying 9 part 2 was created from John 9(40-41)+10(1-6). Saying 9 is a special saying which contains two parts.

Note: Some fell on the road: And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.^9(40-41)

● John 9(13-17): They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

● John 9(24-34): Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

Note: the birds came: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber [should read: and a liar].¹⁰⁽¹⁾

● Thomas 20(31-33) Part 5 of Chapter 3: it produces a large branch: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.³⁽²¹⁾ + and becomes shelter for the birds of heaven: After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.³⁽²²⁾

● Thomas 21t(34-1) Part 6 of Chapter 3: Mary said to Jesus: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.^3(19-20) + whom are thy disciples like: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.³⁽²¹⁾ + He said, they are like little children: After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.³⁽²²⁾

● Thomas 86(34-4) Part 4 of Chapter 15: Jesus said: Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoevr I command you.¹⁵⁽¹⁴⁾ + the foxes have their hole: Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:^15(15t) + and the birds: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.^15(15b) + have their nest: Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another.^15(16-17) + but the Son of man has: If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.^15(18-19) + no place to lay his head: Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;^15(20t) + and to rest: if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also.^15(20b)

● Isaiah 8(16-18): Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Note: others fell on the rock: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.^10(4-5)

● Deuteronomy 32(1-9): Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the LORD’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Note: strike root in the earth: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers [should read: and liars]: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.^10(7-9)

● Thomas 40(14-15) Part 1 of Chapter 1: and as it is established: In him [Lord Adam the Father of all living] was life [spirit]; and the life [Lord Eve the Mother of all living] was the light [the truth] of men. And the light [the spirit] shineth in darkness [the flesh]; and the darkness comprehended it [the spirit - the word] not.^1(3-4) + it [the spirit] will be pulled up by its roots: There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same [Abel] came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.^1(6-7)

Note: and others fell on the thorns: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:^10(12t) + they choked the seed: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.^10(12b-13)

● Numbers 33(55-56): But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

● Judges 2(1-4): And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their alters: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

● Isaiah 55(6-13): Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Note: and the worms ate them [believed them]: I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father [Lord Adam] knoweth me [Lord Eve the Mother], even so know I [Jesus/Eve the Son] the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.^10(14-15)

● Isaiah 41(14): Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

● John 6(57-58): As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth [believeth] me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

● Thomas 37(34-1) Part 5 of Chapter 1: then shall you know: And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I [John] knew him [Jesus] not: but he [the LORD] that sent me [Aaron] to baptize with water, the same [Adam] said unto me [Abel], Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same [Eve] is he [Jesus] which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.^1(32-33) + the Son of the Living: And I [John the same Abel/Aaron] saw, and bare record that this [Jesus/Eve] is the Son of God.¹⁽³⁴⁾

● Numbers 32(28-33): So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel: And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be our’s. And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.^11(44b-45) + and your great ones: But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.¹¹⁽⁴⁶⁾ + are those who are clothed in soft garments: Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.^11(47-48) + and they were not able to know: And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.^11(49-50) + the truth: And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.^11(51-52)

● Isaiah 8(16-18): Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD. that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Note: make a comparison: Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)], and I have power to take it again [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (light/day)]. This commandment have I received of my Father.^10(17-18)

● John 14(25-31): These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)], and come again unto you [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (light/day)]. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day], ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince [should read: ruler] of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

● John 19(28-30): After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

● Deuteronomy 18(15-22): The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he [Lord Jesus/Eve - the Son] shall speak in my name [Lord Adam/Jesus - the Father], I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

● Isaiah 53(1-12): Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation [Nicodemus the same Moses/Isaiah]? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Note: Simon Peter said to him, thou art like a righteous angel: And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?^10(20-21) + Matthew said to him, thou art like a wise man of understanding: And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.^10(22-23)

● Thomas 19(23) Part 6 of Chapter 1: in summer: Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.^148-49) + in winter: Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.¹⁽⁵⁰⁾

● John 2(13-17): And the Jews passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

● Thomas 21b(16-18) Part 6 of Chapter 3: a man of understanding: For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:^3(34t) + when the fruit ripened he came quickly: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.^3(34b) + with his sickle in his hand: The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.^3(3(35) + he reaped it: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.³⁽³⁶⁾

● Thomas 78(32) Part 5 of Chapter 11: see, your king: Jesus saith unto them, Loose him [Lazarus], and let him go. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.^11(44b-45)

Note: and he took him: My Father, which gave them me [Mother], is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I [Lord Eve] and my Father [Lord Adam] are one.^10(29-30)

● Genesis 4(25-26): And Adam [the Father of all living] knew his wife [Eve - the mother of all living] again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God [Lord Adam], said she, hath appointed me [Lord Eve] another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon [Adam] the name of the LORD.

● Genesis 5(21-24): And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God [Lord Adam & Lord Eve]: and he was not; for God took him. [Note: Before Adam died (left this world and entered heaven), he knew Enoch for 308 years. Then 57 years later, Adam took him.]

Note: Thomas [Nicodemus] said to him, Master, *my mouth will: Then came the Jews [the Pharisees] round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.¹⁰⁽²⁴⁾ + not at all: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:^10(25t) + be capable of saying whom thou art like: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.^10(25b)

● Thomas 19(18-20) Part 6 of Chapter 1: he came into being: Again the next day after [about the 10^th hour] John stood, and two of his disciples [Andrew & Nicodemus]; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!^1(35-36) + if you become disciples to me: And the two disciples [Andrew & Nicodemus] heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? He saith unto them, Come and see. They came [after the 12^th hour - dusk] and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour [when John stood with his two disciples].^1(37-39) + and hear: One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.¹⁽⁴⁰⁾ + my words: He [Andrew] first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We [Nicodemus & Andrew] have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.¹⁽⁴¹⁾

● John 1(26-27): John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one [Nicodemus] among you [the Pharisees], whom ye know not [Nicodemus the same Noah/Moses]; He [Noah] it is, who coming after me [Abel] is preferred before me [John], whose [Moses’] shoe's latchet I [Aaron] am not worthy to unloose.

● Thomas (Prologue) These are the secret words [Gospel according to Thomas] which the Living Jesus spoke [Gospel according to John] and Didymos Judas Thomas [153 - Nicodemus the same Moses] wrote.

● John 21(24/End): This is the disciple [Nicodemus] which testifieth of these things [*my mouth will], and wrote these things: and we [the other chosen 10 disciples of Jesus] know that his [Nicodemus’ the same Noah/Moses/Isaiah] testimony is true. - The Gospel according to John [but secretly the Gospel according to Nicodemus]

● Thomas (Prologue): These are the secret words [Gospel according to Thomas] which the Living Jesus spoke [Gospel according to John] and Didymos Judas Thomas [153 - Nicodemus/Moses] wrote.

[saying 021] Part 6 of Chapter 03 - Mary

● Thomas 108(28-29) Part 9 of Chapter 19: *from my [Nicodemus’] mouth: The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he [Nicodemus] that saw it bare record, and his record is true:^19(31-35t) + shall become as I am: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.^19(35b)

● Thomas 49(27-29) Part 1 of Chapter 3: blessed are the solitary and elect: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:³⁽¹⁾ + for you shall find: The same [Nicodemus/Moses] came to Jesus by night [after the 12^th hour], and said unto him, Rabbi [Master], we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.³⁽²⁾

● John 20(30-31): And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book [Gospel according to Thomas]: But these are written [Gospel according to John], that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing [John + Thomas] ye might have life through his name.

● John 21(24/End): This is the disciple [Nicodemus] which testifieth of these things [*my mouth will - *from my mouth], and wrote these things [with the Holy Ghost]: and we [the other chosen 10 disciples of Jesus] know that his [Nicodemus’ the same Noah/Moses/Isaiah] testimony is true. - The Gospel according to John [but secretly the Gospel according to Nicodemus]

Note: Thomas [Nicodemus/Moses/Isaiah] said to him, Master, my mouth will: Then came the Jews [the Pharisees] round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.¹⁰⁽²⁴⁾ + not at all: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:^10(25t) + be capable of saying whom thou art like: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.^10(25b)

● John 12(37-41): But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

● Deuteronomy 29(2-4): And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

Note: he spoke three words: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?¹⁰⁽³⁴⁾ + to him [Moses]: If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;¹⁰⁽³⁵⁾ + now when Thomas came to his companions, they asked him, what did Jesus say to thee: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?¹⁰⁽³⁶⁾

● Genesis 6(1-10): [Moses wrote]: And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; *and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, *I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah [the same Moses/Isaiah/Nicodemus] found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah [9^th son of God/Adam - first born of Lamech] was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem [10^th son of God/Adam], Ham [11^th son of God/Adam], and Japheth [12^th son of God/Adam]. [Note: The twelve sons of God/Adam are gods: Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Mathuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth and each of them begat sons and daughters after their first born son.]

● Exodus 7(1-7): And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.

● Exodus 21(1): Now these are the judgments which thou [Moses] shalt set before them [the children of Israel].

● Exodus 22(28): Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

● Deuteronomy 10(14-18): Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

● Thomas 28(21-23) Part 4 of Chapter 1: Jesus said, I took my stand: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:¹⁽¹²⁾ + in the midst of the world: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.¹⁽¹³⁾ + and in flesh I appeared to them: And the Word [the LORD] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his [Adam’s/Man’s] glory, the glory [Woman/Eve] as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.¹⁽¹⁴⁾ + I found them all drunk: John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He [Jesus] that cometh after me [John] is preferred before me: for he [Lord Eve] was before me [Abel the same Lamech - 8^th son of God/Adam].¹⁽¹⁵⁾

● Psalm 82(1-8): [to him - Asaph wrote]: God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Note: now when Thomas came to his companions, they asked him, what did Jesus say to thee: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemist; because I said, I am the Son of God?¹⁰⁽³⁶⁾

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hands are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of ever man’s brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man.

● Genesis 9(18-19): And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem [James (1 of 3)], and Ham [Simon Peter (2 of 3)], and Japheth [Matthew (3 of 3)]: and Ham [Simon Peter] is the father of Canaan [Judas Iscariot]. These are the three sons of Noah [Moses/Nicodemus]: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

● Genesis 5(28-29): And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same [Noah/Moses] shall comforth us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.

● Exodus 1(11-14): Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

● Exodus 3(7-10): And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee [Moses] unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Note: See Genesis 6(14) & Exodus 2(3) - an ark. See Genesis 7(11-13) & Exodus 24(18) - forty days and forty nights. See Genesis 6(8) & Exodus 33(12) - found grace/know thee [Noah/Moses] by name.

Note: he spoke three words: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?¹⁰⁽³⁴⁾ + to him: If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;¹⁰⁽³⁵⁾ + now when Thomas came to his companions, they asked him, what did Jesus say to thee: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?¹⁰⁽³⁶⁾ + Thomas [Nicodemus/Moses] said to them, if I [Nicodemus] tell you one of the words which he said to me [the same Moses]: If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I *do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.^10(37-38)

● Exodus 34(8-10): And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord [Lord Adam], let my Lord [Lord Eve], I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will *do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [Moses/Nicodemus] art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing [cross/crucifixion] that I [Father] will do with thee [Mother/Son - Lord Jesus/Eve].

● Thomas 49(27-29) Part 1 of Chapter 3: blessed are the solitary and elect: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:³⁽¹⁾ + for you shall find: The same [Nicodemus/Moses] came to Jesus by night [after the 12^th hour], and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can *do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.³⁽²⁾

● Thomas 108(28-29) Part 9 of Chapter 19: from my [Nicodemus’] mouth: The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified withy him.

And he [Nicodemus] that saw it bare record, and his record is true:^19(31-35t) + shall become as I am: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.^19(35b)

● Thomas 9(3) Part 1 of Chapter 6: Jesus said, see: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his [Nicodemus’ the same Moses/Isaiah] writings, how shall ye believe my words?^5(46-47)

● Thomas 23(1-3) Part 5 of Chapter 5: Jesus said: How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? ⁵⁽⁴⁴⁾ + I shall choose you, one out of a thousand: Do not think that I [Mother] will accuse you to the Father: there is one [Nicodemus] that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye [the Pharisees] trust.⁵⁽⁴⁵⁾ + and two out of ten thousand: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his [Nicodemus’ the same Moses/Isaiah] writings, how shall ye believe my words?^5(46-47) + and they shall stand as a single one: After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.⁶⁽¹⁾

● John 21(24/End): This is the disciple [Nicodemus] which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things [with the Holy Ghost]: and we [the other chosen 10 disciples of Jesus] know that his [Nicodemus’ the same Noah/Moses/Isaiah] testimony is true. - The Gospel according to John [but secretly the Gospel according to Nicodemus]

● Isaiah 8(16-20): Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [truth] in them.

Note: they withdrew: Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man makest thyself God.^10(31-33) - you will take up stones to throw at me: Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.^10(39-40)

● John 8(56-59): Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

● John 4(47-52): When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
