how wouldst thou that we fast: And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.⁶⁽³⁾ + and: And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.⁶⁽⁴⁾ + how should we pray: When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?⁶⁽⁵⁾ + and: And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.⁶⁽⁶⁾ + how should we give alms: Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.⁶⁽⁷⁾ + what diet should we observe: One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?^6(8-9) [Note: Saying 6 is a special saying containing 3 parts, this is part two - See *Note in PART 2 of Chapter 6 (section 2)]

Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.^6(12-13) + the kingdom is in heaven: Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.⁶⁽¹⁴⁾ + then the birds of the heaven will precede you: When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.⁶⁽¹⁵⁾ + if they say to you, it is in the sea: And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,⁶⁽¹⁶⁾ + then the fish will precede you: And entered into a ship, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.⁶⁽¹⁷⁾ + but the kingdom is within you and it is outside you: And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.⁶⁽¹⁸⁾ + if you will know yourselves: So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.⁶⁽¹⁹⁾ + then you will be known: But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.⁶⁽²⁰⁾ + and you will know that you are the sons of the living Father: Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.⁶⁽²¹⁾ + but if you do know: The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat,^6(22t) + yourselves: but that his disciples were gone away alone;^6(22b) + then you know that you were in poverty: (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)⁶⁽²³⁾ + and you are in poverty: When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.⁶⁽²⁴⁾

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.^6(28-29) + which will not: They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?⁶⁽³⁰⁾ + be manifest: Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.⁶⁽³¹⁾

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.^6(32-33) + so that you inquire about the end: Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.^6(12-13)

NOTE: filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves:

5 x 12 = 60 per measure

which remained over and above (x 2) unto them that hath eaten:

60 x 2 = 120 per measure

Note: Jesus said, see: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his [Moses/Nicodemus] writings, how shall ye believe my words?^5(46-47)

● John 5(36-47): But I have greater witness than that of John [Abel/Aaron/John]: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I [Mother] am come in my Father's name [Jesus/Adam], and ye receive me [the Son] not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I [Mother] will accuse you to the Father: there is one [Nicodemus/Moses] that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

● 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].

● Genesis 2(23): And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

● Genesis 3(20): And Adam [the Father of all living] called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Note: he filled his hand, he threw: And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.⁶⁽²⁾

● John 3(31-35): He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

● John 14(9-14): Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

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

Jesus said: See, the sower went out, he filled his hands, he threw. [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 worm ate them. And others fell on the good earth] on the good earth; and it brought forth good fruit; it bore sixty per measure and one hundred twenty per measure.

● Note - 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.

● Note - Saying 9 of the Gospel of Thomas (Parable of the sower and of the seed) was created by Nicodemus from the Gospel of John (part of it from the Feeding of the five thousand). Since all three Synoptic Gospels contain both “the Parable of the sower and of the seed” and “the Feeding of the five thousand” [Mark 6(31-44), Matthew 14(13-21), Luke 9(10-17)], it is obvious that their authors stole them from the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of John. Since Saying 9 itself has no value except for the secret words which formed it, how is it possible that their authors have Jesus explaining to his disciples the true meaning of the Parable of the sower and of the seed?

The first thief and liar - Mark 4(3-34) - The first false gospel

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, an some an hundred [taken from Thomas Saying 9(3-13) Part 1 of Chapter 6 & Part 1 of Chapter 10]. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear [taken from Thomas Saying 21(19) Part 6 of Chapter 3 or Thomas Saying 8(2-3) Part 3 of Chapter 12]. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable [impossible because the sayings themselves have no value except for the secret words which formed them]. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness: And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick [taken from Thomas Saying 33(13-15) Part 9 of Chapter 4]? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad [taken from Thomas Saying 5(12-14) Part 4 of Chapter 6 or Thomas Saying 6(21-23) Part 5 of Chapter 8]. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear [taken from Thomas Saying 21(19) Part 6 of Chapter 3 or Thomas Saying 8(2-3) Part 3 of Chapter 12]. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath [taken from Thomas Saying 41(16-18) Part 7 of Chapter 4]. And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come [created from Thomas Saying 21(15-18) Part 6 of Chapter 3]. And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it [taken from Thomas Saying 20(26-33) Part 5 of Chapter 3]. And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples [impossible because the sayings themselves have no value except for the secret words which formed them].

The second thief and liar - Matthew 13(3-33) - The second false gospel

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow: And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up, and choked them: But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold [taken from Thomas Saying 9(3-13) Part 1 of Chapter 6 & Part 1 of Chapter 10]. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear [taken from Thomas Saying 21(19) Part 6 of Chapter 3 or Thomas Saying 8(2-3) Part 3 of Chapter 12]. And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath [taken from Thomas Saying 41(16-18) Part 6 of Chapter 4]. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you [always “Verily, verily, I say unto you,” according to the Gospel of John], That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower [impossible because the sayings themselves have no value except for the secret words which formed them]. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the household came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn [taken from Thomas Saying 57(33-7) Part 3 of Chapter 7]. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof [taken from Thomas Saying 20(26-33) Part 5 of Chapter 3]. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened [taken from Thomas Saying 96(2-5) Part 6 of Chapter 16].

The third thief and liar - Luke 8(5-18) - The third false gospel

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And others fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold [taken from Thomas Saying 9(3-13) Part 1 of Chapter 6 & Part 1 of Chapter 10]. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear [taken from Thomas Saying 21(19) Part 6 of Chapter 3 or Thomas Saying 8(2-3) Part 3 of Chapter 12]. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this [impossible because the sayings themselves have no value except for the secret words which formed them]: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light [taken from Thomas Saying 33(13-15) Part 9 of Chapter 4]. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad [taken from Thomas Saying 5(12-14) Part 4 of Chapter 6 or Thomas Saying 6(21-23) Part 5 of Chapter 8]. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have [taken from Thomas Saying 41(16-18) Part 6 of Chapter 4].

Note: The Sayings contained in the Gospel of Thomas have no value, except for keeping the secret words which formed them in a specific order. The Synoptic Gospel writers are not only thieves but also liars because they used many of the Sayings (whole/parts) from the Gospel of Thomas as if they had value. It is the secret words which formed the Sayings that have great value but only when placed back into the Gospel of John revealing the information they were originally created from or created for.

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

● John 17(1-10): These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

Note: John 6(2-9): And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him [Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, - see John 1(45) below]: for he [Jesus] himself knew what he [Nicodemus/Moses] would do [write the Gospels according to John & Thomas]. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five [5] barley loaves, and two [2] small fishes: but what are they among so many?

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses [Moses/Nicodemus] in the law, and the prophets [Gospel according to John], did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one [Nicodemus/Moses] that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he [Moses the same Isaiah/Nicodemus] wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen [this prayer was created by Matthew]. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly [created from Thomas Saying 6(15-16) Part 2 of Chapter 6].

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?

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 [cross/crucifixion] thing that I [Father] will do with thee [Mother/Son - Lord Jesus/Eve].

● John 18(36-37): Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth [the light] heareth my voice.

Note: the kingdom is in heaven: Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.⁶⁽¹⁴⁾ + then the birds of the heaven will precede you [Jesus]: When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.⁶⁽¹⁵⁾

● Psalm 11(1-5): In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

● John 18(33-37): Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

● John 17(16-21): They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pay I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

● John 7(45-51): Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

● John 19(14-20): And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

Note: if they say to you, it is in the sea: And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,⁶⁽¹⁶⁾ + then the fish [the disciples] will precede you [Jesus]: And entered into a ship, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.⁶⁽¹⁷⁾

● Thomas 8(33-2) Part 3 of Chapter 12: among them he found a large and good fish: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.^12(16b) + that wise fisherman, he threw all the small fish back down into the sea: The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.^12(17-18) + he chose the large fish without regret: The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.¹²⁽¹⁹⁾

Note: but the kingdom is within you and it is outside you: And the sea [water] arose by reason of a great wind [air] that blew.^6(17b)

● Isaiah 57(19-21): I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

● John 6(61-64): When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh [blood/water] profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

● Thomas 78(30) Part 5 of Chapter 11: shaken by the wind: And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.¹¹⁽⁴³⁾

Note: and you will know that you are the sons of the living Father: Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.⁶⁽²¹⁾

● 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/the Father] said unto me [Abel], Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same [Eve/the Mother] 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⁾

● Thomas 61(28-32) Part 1 of Chapter 14: Jesus said: And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.¹⁴⁽⁴⁾ + to her: Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?¹⁴⁽⁵⁾ + I am: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:^14(6t) + he who is from the same: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.^14(6b) + to me was given from the things of my Father: If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:^14(7t) + She [Lord Eve/Jesus - the Son/Mother] said: and from henceforth ye know him [Lord Adam the Father], and have seen him [Lord Adam/Jesus].^14(7b) + I am: Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.¹⁴⁽⁸⁾ + thy disciple: Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?^14(9t) + Jesus: he that hath seen me [Lord Jesus/Eve - the Son] hath seen the Father;^14(9c) + said to her: and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?^14(9b) + therefore: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.^14(10-11) + I say: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto to my Father.¹⁴⁽¹²⁾ + if he is the same: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.¹⁴⁽¹³⁾ + he will: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.¹⁴⁽¹⁴⁾

● 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: then you know that you were in poverty: (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)⁶⁽²³⁾ + and you are in poverty: When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.⁶⁽²⁴⁾

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him [Lazarus]! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.

These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not.

Jesus said: Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.⁶⁽⁴⁹⁾ + love thy brother: This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.⁶⁽⁵⁰⁾ + as thy soul: I am the living bread which came down from heaven:^6(51t) + guard him: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:^6(51c) + as the apple: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.^6(51b) + of thine eye: The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?⁶⁽⁵²⁾

Note: love thy brother: This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may *eat thereof, and not die.⁶⁽⁵⁰⁾

● John 14(12-21): Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that *believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

● John 15(11-17): These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 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.

Note: guard him: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:^6(51c)

● John 10(24-30): 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. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 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.

Note: as thy soul: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.^6(51t) - as the apple: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.^6(51b)

● Genesis 1(11-13): And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and morning were the third day.

● Genesis 6(3): 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.

● Psalm 1(1-6): Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

● Thomas 17(8) Part 9 of Chapter 6: and what has not arisen: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.⁶⁽⁶³⁾

● Psalm 17(6-9): I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

Note: as thy soul: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.^6(51t)

● Isaiah 53(10-12): 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.

● Psalm 30(1-3): I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Note: of thine eye: The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?⁶⁽⁵²⁾

● Thomas 26(14&17) Part 8 of Chapter 6: but the beam that is in thine eye: The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?⁶⁽⁵²⁾ - of thy brother’s eye: not as your fathers did manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.^6(58b)

● 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.

● Thomas 17(5-6) Part 9 of Chapter 6: Jesus said: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.⁶⁽⁵⁷⁾ + I will give you what eye has not seen: 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.⁶⁽⁵⁸⁾

● John 10(19-30): There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 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? And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 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. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 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.

Note: Genesis 9(1-6): And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 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 every 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.

● John 11(21-27): Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus saith unto her, I [Lord Adam and Lord Eve] am the resurrection, and the life: he that *believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and *believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

● Thomas 5(12-13) Part 4 of Chapter 6: will be revealed: Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life,^6(27t) + to thee: which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.^6(27b) + for there is nothing hidden: Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

● John 17(20-26): Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall *believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

● 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?

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 [*eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood]. 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.

● John 3(14-21): And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever *believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever *believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 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. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

● John 5(24-29): Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and *believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

● Thomas 85(29-30) Part 1 of Chapter 13: Jesus said, Adam: For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I [Mother] should say, and what I [Son] should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I [the Son] speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me [the Mother], so I [the LORD] speak.^12(49-50)

● Psalm 78(1-37): Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God and refused to walk in his law; And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitation. So they did eat, and were filled: for he gave them their own desire; They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

The first thief and liar - Mark 14(1-2) & (12-25) - *The first false gospel

After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft and put him to death. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.^14(1-2)

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.^14(12-25)

The second thief and liar - Matthew 26(1-5) & (17-29) - *The second false gospel

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtility, and kill him. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.^26(1-5)

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.^26(17-29)

The third thief and liar - Luke 22(1-2) & (7-20) - *The third false gospel

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.^22(1-2)

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.^22(7-20)

1 Corinthians 11(18-34) - *the false church and the false shepherd

For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be manifest among you. When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I [Paul] set in order when I come.

Note: Psalm 69(20-33): Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they may see not; and make their loins continually to shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

John 19(30-31) - THE TRUE GOSPEL

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation [of the passover - Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)], that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (light/day)], (for that sabbath day was an high day [the sabbath of the LORD and the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD],) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

John 1(29): The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Isaiah 66(1-4): Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol [after the final passover - Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (Jesus the Lamb of God)]. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions [after the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple], and will bring their fears upon them; because when I [Jesus] called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

John 4(19-26): The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

THE TRUE TIME LINE - Gospel according to John

John 1(29): The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

John 12(1): Then Jesus six [6] days before the passover [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)] came to Bethany [Sunday 9^th Day (light/day)], where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

John 12(12-13): On the next day [Monday 10^th Day (light/day)] much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Exodus 12(3-11): Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [10^th] day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day [14^th Day (light/day)] of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening [evening/sunset - 15^th Day (dark/night)]. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night [15^th Day (dark/night)], roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover.

Leviticus 23(1-8): And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [light/day] is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day [14^th Day (light/day)] of the first month at even [sunset] is the LORD'S passover [even/sunset ends the 14^th Day (light/day) and begins the 15^th Day (dark/night)]. And on the fifteenth day [15^th Day (light/day)] of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven [7] days [one week] ye must eat unleavened bread. In the first day [light/day] ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [light/day] is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

John 13(1-2): Now before the feast of the passover [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)], when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper [Thursday 13^th Day (light/day)] being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son to betray him [Friday 14^th Day (dark/night)];

John 13(29-30): For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast [begins Friday 14^th Day (light/day) at evening/sunset which is the beginning of the 15^th Day (Saturday/Sabbath)]; or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night [Friday 14^th Day (dark/night) and then we have Friday 14^th Day (light/day) according to the Hebrew Day].

John 13(38): Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow [Friday 14^th Day (light/day) - morning/sunrise], till thou hast denied me thrice.

John 18(26-27): One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him [Friday 14th Day (dark/night)]? Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew [Friday 14^th Day (light/day) - morning/sunrise].

John 18(28): Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)].

John 19(14): And it was the preparation of the passover [begins Friday 14^th Day (light/day) at evening/sunset which is the beginning of Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)], and about the sixth hour [Friday 14^th Day (light/day) - natural day was divided into twelve hours (temporary hours)]: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

John 11(9-10): Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day [light/day or natural day]? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light [truth] of this world. But if a man walk in the night [darkness/lies], he stumbleth, because there is no light [truth] in him.

John 19(30-33): When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation [of the passover - Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)], that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (light/day)], (for that sabbath day was an high day [the sabbath of the LORD and the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD],) 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:

Numbers 6(1-4): And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD: He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

Numbers 9(9-12): And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD [the passover is not a movable feast - even if it falls on a Saturday/Sabbath Day (dark/night)]. The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.

John 19(41-42): Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

John 20(1): The first day [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (light/day)] of the week [7 Days of unleavened bread] cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night) - dawn], unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

John 20(19): Then the same day [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day] at evening, being the first day [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (light/day) - just before evening] of the week [7 Days of unleavened bread], when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Exodus 12(14-19): And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day [light/day] ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And in the first day [light/day] there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day [light/day] there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. In the first month, on the fourteenth [14^th] day of the month at even [sunset - which begins the 15^th Day (dark/night)], ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth [21^st] day of the month at evening [sunset - which ends the 21^st Day (light/day)]. Seven days [one week] shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

John 14(28-29): 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.

Deuteronomy 18(17-22): 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.

● Thomas 63(8-9) Part 5 of Chapter 13: and that night he died [Saturday/Sabbath 15^th Day (dark/night)]: Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?

Note: According to the true words of the Gospel of John and the secret words of the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus did not eat the Passover meal with his disciples because on that night he was still nailed to the cross (and gave up the ghost) when the Passover lambs were being killed and prepared for eating. Also, according to the Gospel of John + Thomas and certain writings of the Old Testament, Jesus died on the cross, he was taken down and placed into a sepulcher, he rose from the grave, he ascended to his Father and then descended to his disciples all in the same day. It is at this time that his disciples received the Holy Ghost. This day was the 15^th Day (evening to morning and morning to evening) which was not only the Passover but also a Sabbath and the first day of unleavened bread unto the Lord. The Synoptic Gospel writers are not only thieves but also liars.

● Thomas 11(18-19) Part 5 of Chapter 12: and the dead are not alive: Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.¹²⁽³⁰⁾ + and the Living shall not die: Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince [the Prince of Peace] of this world be cast out.¹²⁽³¹⁾ + in the day [dark/night - Passover] when you devoured the dead: And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die [crucification].^12(32-33)

● 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 had spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

● John 6(14): Then those me, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

● John 4(43-44): Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

● John 7(40-52): Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? So there was a division among the people because of him. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

● John 10(19-42) There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 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? And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 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. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 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. 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. Jesus answewd them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 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? 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. 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. 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.

● Thomas 85(29-30) Part 1 of Chapter 13: Jesus said, Adam: For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father [Lord Adam] which sent me [Lord Eve], he gave me a commandment, what I [Mother] should say, and what I [Son] should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I [the Son] speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me [the Mother], so I [the LORD] speak.^12(49-50)

Note: and they do not know that I have come to throw division [believe/believe not] upon the earth: But there are some of you that believe not.^6(64t) + and then fire, sword, war: For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.^6(64b) + for there shall be five in a house, three shall be against two and two against three: And he [the Father] said, Therefore said I [the Mother] unto you, that no man can come unto me [the Son], except it were given unto him of my Father.⁶⁽⁶⁵⁾ + the father [the Father and the Mother - two] against the sons [three] and the sons [three] against the father [the Father and the Mother - two]: From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.⁶⁽⁶⁶⁾

● Isaiah 66(12-16): For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I [Lord Eve] comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants [who believed], and his indignation toward his enemies [who believed not]. For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

● Leviticus 19(1-3): And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. Ye shall fear every man his mother [Lord Eve], and his father [Lord Adam], and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.

● John 10(29-30): 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 [Lord Eve] and my Father [Lord Adam] are one.

Note: and they will stand as solitaries: Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.^6(67-68)

● Thomas 75(12) Part 1 of Chapter 2: but the solitary are the ones: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.²⁽²⁾

● Thomas 49(27-29) Part 1 of Chapter 3: He [Nicodemus] said [wrote]: Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.^2(23-25) + 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⁾

● John 15(18-21): If the world hate you, you 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. 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; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your’s also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

● John 17(7-24): Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

● John 6(57-58): As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth 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.

● John 14(15-24): If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
