The
Gospel of
Thomas Translated by Thomas O. Lambdin |
The
Revelation
of Jesus Christ As Seen by St. John The Divine (Perhaps while Meditating on The Gospel of Christ) |
These
are the
secret sayings which the
living Jesus
spoke
and which Didymos
Judas Thomas wrote
down. The living Jesus Didymos Judas Thomas Wrote down |
[1:1]
The Revelation of Jesus
Christ,
which God gave unto
him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: [1:2] Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ John The testimony |

And he said, "Whoever
finds
the interpretation of these sayings will not
experience
death." Finds Whoever... will not experience death |
and
of all things
that he saw. [1:3] Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Saw Blessed is he |
(2)
Jesus said,
"Let him who seeks continue
seeking until he
finds. When he finds, he will
become troubled.
When he becomes troubled,
he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All." Continue... will become Troubled |
[1:4]
John to the
seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be
unto you, and peace,
from him which
is, and which was, and which
is to
come; and from the seven
Spirits which are before his throne; Which is... which is to come Peace |
(3)
Jesus said, "If
those who lead you say to you,
'See,
the
kingdom is in the sky,' then
the birds of the sky will
precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in
the sea,'
then the
fish will
precede you. Rather, the
kingdom
is inside of you, and it is outside of
you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and
you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the
living
father.
But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you
who are that poverty." See In the sea... the fish The kingdom... the kingdom The living father |
[1:5]
And from
Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of the
kings
of the earth. Unto
him that loved us, and washed
us
from our sins in
his own blood, [1:6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. [1:7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Witness... see Washed us... in his own blood The kings... kings Father |

Jesus said,
"The man old in days will not
hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life,
and he will live. For many who are first
will become last,
and they
will become
one and the same." First Last Become one and the same |
[1:8]
I am Alpha
and Omega,
the beginning and the ending, saith the
Lord, which
is, and which was, and which is to come,
the Almighty. Alpha Omega Which is, and which was, and which is to come |
(5)
Jesus said, "Recognize
what
is in your sight,
and that
which is hidden from you will
become plain to you . For there
is nothing hidden which will not become manifest." Recognize what is in your sight That which is hidden |
[1:9]
I John, who
also am your
brother, and companion in
tribulation,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus
Christ,
was in the isle that
is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus
Christ. [1:10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Your brother Jesus Christ |
(6)
His disciples
questioned him and said to him,
"Do you want us to fast? How shall we pray? Shall we give alms? What
diet shall we
observe?" Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered." We observe Do not tell lies In the sight of heaven Covered... uncovered |
[1:11]
Saying, I am
Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
seest, write
in a book,
and send it unto the seven churches which
are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto
Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. [1:12] And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; [1:13] And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Thou seest Write in a book See the voice that spake... I saw Clothed... girt about |
(7)
Jesus said,
"Blessed is the lion which becomes
man when consumed
by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes,
and the lion becomes man." Consumed Consumes |
[1:14]
His head and
his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a
flame of fire; [1:15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; A flame of fire Burned in a furnace |
(8)
And he said,
"The man is like a wise fisherman
who cast his net into the
sea
and drew it up from the
sea
full of small
fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw
all the small fish back into the
sea
and chose the large fish without
difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear." The sea... the sea... the sea |
and
his voice as
the sound of many
waters. Many waters |
(9)
Jesus said,
"Now the
sower went out, took
a
handful (of seeds), and scattered
them.
Some fell on the road; the
birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take
root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns;
they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good
soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a
hundred and twenty per measure." The sower...took a handful (of seeds) Scattered them (seeds) |
[1:16]
And he
had in his
right hand seven stars: and out
of his
mouth
went a sharp twoedged sword: He had in his right hand seven stars Out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword |
(10)
Jesus said, "I
have cast fire upon the
world, and
see, I am guarding it until
it blazes." Fire... blazes And see |
and
his countenance was as the sun
shineth
in his strength. [1:17] And when I saw him, Sun shineth And... I saw |
(11)
Jesus said,
"This heaven
will
pass
away, and
the one above it will pass
away. The
dead
are not alive,
and the
living
will not die.
In the days when you consumed what is dead,
you made it
what is alive.
When you come to dwell in the
light,
what will you do?
On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two,
what will you do?" Heaven Alive... the living... alive The dead... pass away... pass away... die... dead The light |
I
fell at his feet
as dead.
And he laid his
right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the
last: [1:18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. [1:19] Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; [1:20] The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Hell The living... alive Dead... death Stars... candlesticks... stars... candlesticks |
(12)
The disciples
said to
Jesus, "We know that you
will depart
from us. Who
is to be
our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." To Jesus Depart from us Who is to be our leader? Wherever you are Righteous |
[2:1] Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; [2:2] I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: [2:3] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. [2:4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. [2:5] Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. [2:6] But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Unto the angel Walketh in the midst Apostles Thou hast left thy first love Evil |
(13)
Jesus
said to his disciples, "Compare me to
someone and tell
me
whom I am like
." Simon Peter said to him, "You are like a righteous angel." Matthew said to him, "You are like a wise philosopher." Thomas said to him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are like." Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring which I have measured out." And he took him and withdrew and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?" Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up." Tell me Whom I am like a righteous angel A wise philosopher Incapable of saying whom you are like I am not your master You will pick up stones and throw them at me A fire will come out of the stones Burn you up |
[2:7]
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith
unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
tree of
life, which is in the midst
of the paradise of God. [2:8] And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; [2:9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [2:10] Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. [2:11] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. [2:12] And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; [2:13] I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. The Spirit saith The tree of life The angel of the church I know Blasphemy Them which say they are Jews, and are not Be thou faithful unto death... my faithful martyr, who was slain among you What the Spirit saith... saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges That ye may be tried... the second death |
(14)
Jesus said to
them, "If you fast,
you will give
rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and
if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into
any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat
what
they will set before you, and heal the sick among them. For what goes
into your mouth
will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth
- it is that which will defile you." Fast Eat Mouth |
[2:14]
But I have a
few things against thee, because thou hast there them
that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a
stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat
things sacrificed
unto idols, and to commit fornication. [2:15] So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. [2:16] Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. [2:17] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Eat Eat Mouth |
(15)
Jesus said, "When you see one
who was not
born
of woman, prostrate
yourselves on your
faces and worship
him. That one
is your father." One ... not born of woman Your faces Worship |
[2:18]
And unto the angel of the church in
Thyatira write; These things
saith the
Son of God, who hath his
eyes like unto a flame of
fire, and
his feet are like fine brass; [2:19] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. [2:20] Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. The Son of God His eyes Sacrificed unto idols |
(16)
Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace
which I
have come to cast upon the
world. They do not know that
it is dissension
which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire,
sword,
and war. For there will be
five in a house: three will be against two,
and two
against three, the father
against
the son, and the son against
the father.
And they will stand solitary." Peace (making two into one) Dissension Fire, sword, and war I have come Father... father |
[2:21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. [2:22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. [2:23] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. [2:24] But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. [2:25] But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. [2:26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: [2:27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Fornication... adultery Great tribulation Kill Till I come Father |
(17)
Jesus said, "I shall give
you
what no eye has
seen and what no ear
has heard
and what no
hand has touched and
what
has never occurred to the
human mind." Give Ear... Heard No hand has touched The human mind |
[2:28]
And I will give
him the morning star. [2:29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. [3:1] And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. [3:2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [3:3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Give Ear... Hear... heard Hold fast I know... know |
(18)
The disciples
said to Jesus, "Tell
us how our
end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death." Tell us how our end will be The end Where the beginning is, there will the end be Take his place He will know the end Will not experience death |
[3:4]
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their
garments; and
they
shall walk
with me in white: for
they are worthy. [3:5] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. [3:6] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. [3:7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; [3:8] I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. [3:9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. [3:10] Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, They shall walk with me in white\ He... shall be clothed in white raiment The key of David (The key to the kingdom) I have set before thee an open door Know that I have loved thee Will keep thee from the hour of temptation |
(19)
Jesus said,
"Blessed is he who came
into being
before he came
into being. If
you become
my disciples and listen to my
words, these
stones
will minister to you. For
there are five trees for
you in Paradise
which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose
leaves do not fall. Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not
experience death." Came into being... Came into being Become my disciples and listen to my words These stones will minister Paradise |
which
shall come
upon all the
world,
to try them that dwell upon the earth. [3:11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. [3:12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, Come upon...the world I come quickly Hold that fast which thou hast A pillar in the temple of my God The city of my God, which is new Jerusalem |
(20)
The disciples
said to Jesus, "Tell
us what the
kingdom of heaven
is like." He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky." Heaven The smallest of all seeds Tilled soil |
which
cometh down out of heaven
from my God: and I will write upon him my new
name. [3:13] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. [3:14] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, Heaven The faithful and true witness The creation of God |
(21)
Mary
said to Jesus, "Whom
are your
disciples
like?" He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.' They (will) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them. Therefore I say, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear." Whom are your disciples like? A field... the field... our field... their field Carry away his goods Let there be among you a man of understanding Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear |
the
beginning
of the
creation of God; [3:15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [3:16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [3:17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [3:18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [3:19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [3:20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [3:21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [3:22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. The beginning The creation of God Increased with goods I counsel thee He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches |
(22)
Jesus
saw
infants being suckled. He
said to his
disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the
kingdom." They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom." Jesus saw infants The kingdom Enter the kingdom Other dualities made One The outside The inside Inside... outside The above Male Eyes A hand in place of a hand A likeness Enter the kingdom |
[4:1]
After this I
looked, and,
behold, a
door was
opened in
heaven:
and
the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with
me; which said, Come
up hither,
and I
will shew
thee things which must
be hereafter. [4:2] And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. [4:3] And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. [4:4] And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. [4:5] And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. [4:6] And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. [4:7] And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. [4:8] And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. [4:9] And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, [4:10] The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, I looked, and, behold... I will shew thee things... behold A throne was set in heaven... One sat on the throne Come up hither...come... a door was opened Day and night... before and behind Clothed in white raiment... on their heads Within In the midst of the throne, and round about the throne A rainbow A man Eyes... eyes Cast their crowns Like... like... like... like Round about the throne... out of the throne... before the throne... the throne... the throne... the throne |
(23)
Jesus said, "I
shall choose
you,
one out of a
thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single
one." I shall choose you |
[4:11]
Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honour and power: Thou art worthy |
(24)
His disciples
said to him, "Show
us
the place where
you are, since it is
necessary for us to seek
it." He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness." Show us... where you are Seek it Whoever... let him hear He is darkness |
for
thou
hast
created all things, and for
thy pleasure
they are and
were created. [5:1] And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. [5:2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? [5:3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. [5:4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. Thou hast created all things... for thy pleasure I saw... a book A strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice No man was found worthy |
(25)
Jesus said, "Love
your
brother like
your soul,
guard him like the
pupil of
your eye." Love your brother The pupil of your eye |
[5:5]
And one
of the
elders saith unto me, Weep
not: behold,
the Lion
of
the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof. One of the elders Weep not: behold |
(26)
Jesus said,
"You see
the mote in
your brother's eye,
but you do not see
the
beam in
your own eye.
When you cast the
beam out of your own eye,
then you will see clearly to cast the mote
from your brother's eye." See... eye...see... eye... eye... see... eye (mentioned seven times) The beam |
[5:6]
And I beheld,
and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain, having seven horns and seven
eyes,
which are the seven Spirits
of God sent forth into all the earth. [5:7] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. [5:8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. [5:9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, Seven eyes Thou wast slain |
(27)
<Jesus
said,> "If you
do not fast as
regards the
world, you will not find the
kingdom.
If you do not observe
the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you
will not see the father." The world The kingdom Observe the Sabbath |
and
hast redeemed
us to God by thy blood out of every
kindred,
and tongue, and people,
and nation; [5:10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. [5:11] And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation Made us... kings... and we shall reign on the earth I beheld... the voice of many angels round about the throne |
(28)
Jesus said, "I
took my place
in the
midst of
the world, and I appeared to them in
flesh. I
found all of them
intoxicated; I found none of
them thirsty. And my
soul
became afflicted
for the sons of men, because
they are blind in their hearts and
do not
have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek
to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When
they shake
off their wine, then they
will repent." I took my place... in flesh I found all of them intoxicated My soul... afflicted for the sons of men Shake off their wine |
[5:12]
Saying with
a loud voice, Worthy
is the
Lamb that was slain to
receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and
glory, and blessing. [5:13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. [5:14] And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. [6:1] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain And every creature which... are in the sea The Lamb The noise of thunder |

Jesus said,
"If the flesh came
into
being
because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came
into being because
of the
body,
it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at
how this
great wealth has made its
home in this
poverty." Came into being Came into being The body This poverty This great wealth |
Come
and see. [6:2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. [6:3] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. [6:4] And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. [6:5] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. [6:6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. [6:7] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. Come and see Come and see... Come and see The earth A measure of wheat for a penny The oil and the wine |

Jesus said,
"Where there are three
gods, they
are gods. Where there are two or one, I
am with him." Three gods I am with him |
[6:8]
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and
his name that sat on
him
was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them
over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger,
and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. [6:9] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [6:10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Death, and Hell followed with him The souls of them that were slain... cried... saying... O Lord |

Jesus said, "No
prophet is

village; no physician heals those who know him." No prophet is accepted |
[6:11]
And white robes were given unto every one of
them; and it was
said
unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their
fellowservants also and their
brethren,
that should
be killed as they
were, should be fulfilled. [6:12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Their brethren... should be killed as they were |
(32)
Jesus said, "A
city being
built on
a high
mountain
and
fortified
cannot
fall, nor
can it be
hidden." A city being built High Mountain Fortified Cannot fall Nor can it be hidden |
[6:13]
And the
stars of
heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. [6:14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. [6:15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; The heaven... is rolled together Places... great... rich... chief... mighty Mountain... mountains In the rocks The stars of heaven fell Hid themselves |
(33)
Jesus said, "Preach
from
your
housetops that
which you will hear in your ear. For no one lights a lamp and puts it
under a bushel, nor does he put it in a
hidden place,
but rather he
sets it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see
its light." Preach from your housetops A hidden place |
[6:16]
And said to the
mountains
and rocks, Fall on us, and hide
us
from
the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the
Lamb: The mountains and rocks Hide us |

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be
able to
stand? [7:1] And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. [7:2] And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [7:3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Who shall be able to stand? Any tree... the trees I saw... I saw... sealed... in their foreheads The four corners of the earth... the earth... the earth...the sea... the earth...the sea... the earth...the sea |

Jesus said,
"It is not possible for
anyone to enter
the
house of a
strong man and
take it by force unless he binds his
hands;
then he will (be able to) ransack his
house." The house... his house A strong man His hands |

And I heard the number of them which were
sealed: and there were
sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all
the tribes

[7:11] And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, [7:12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. All the tribes of the children... the tribe Israel... no man Their hands |

And one of the elders answered, saying unto
me, What are these
which are arrayed
in white robes? and whence
came they? [7:14] And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. [7:15] Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. [7:16] They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. Day and night Arrayed in white robes... their robes |
(37)
His disciples said, "When will you become
revealed to us and when shall
we see you?" Jesus said, "When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid" Become revealed to us You will not be afraid Then will you see |
[7:17]

was silence in
heaven about the space of
half an hour. [8:2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. There was silence in heaven I saw |

Jesus said, "The pharisees and the
scribes have taken
the
keys of knowledge (gnosis)
and hidden them. They themselves
have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those
who wish
to.
You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves." Taken the keys of knowledge Those who wish |

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having
a golden
censer; and there was given
unto him much incense, that he
should offer
it with the
prayers of all saints Having a golden censer The prayers of all saints |

Jesus said, "A
grapevine
has been
planted outside
of the
father, but being unsound, it
will be pulled up by its
roots and destroyed." A grapevine...outside of the father |

which was before

nothing will be deprived of even
the
little he has." In his hand Will receive more |

And the smoke of the
incense, which
came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended
up before God out
of the
angel's hand. [8:5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. [8:6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. [8:7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Out of the angel's hand... cast upon the earth Took the censer, and filled it with fire |

said, "Become
passers-by." Become passers-by |
[8:8]
And the second angel
sounded, and as it were a great mountain
burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea
became blood; [8:9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. The creatures which... had life, died |
(43)
His disciples
said to him, "Who are
you, that
you should say these things to us?" <Jesus said to them,> "You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit (or) love the fruit and hate the tree." The tree... the tree |
[8:10]
And the
third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of
the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; [8:11] And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. [8:12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Wormwood... wormwood |
(44)
Jesus said,
"Whoever blasphemes
against the
father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the son will be
forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will
not be
forgiven either
on earth
or
in heaven." Will not be forgiven Earth Heaven |
[8:13]
And I
beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice, Woe,
woe, woe,
to the inhabiters of
the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three
angels, which are yet to sound! Woe, woe, woe Earth Heaven |
(45)
Jesus said,
"Grapes are not
harvested from
thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce
fruit. A good man brings forth good from his
storehouse;
an evil man
brings forth evil
things from his
evil
storehouse, which is in his
heart, and says evil things.
For out of the abundance of the
heart
he
brings forth evil
things." His storehouse... His evil storehouse His heart... The heart Evil things Evil things |
[9:1]
And the fifth
angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven
unto
the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless
pit. [9:2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. [9:3] And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. [9:4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, The bottomless pit... The bottomless pit The pit The pit A smoke... the smoke locusts The smoke... the smoke... the scorpions |
(46)
Jesus said,
"Among those
born of
women, from
Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the
Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have
said, whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with
the kingdom and will become superior to John." Those born of women |
neither
any
tree;
but only those
men which have not the seal
of God in their foreheads. [9:5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. Those men... a man... any tree |
(47)
Jesus said, "It is
impossible for a
man to
mount two horses
or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a
servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and
treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately
desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins,
lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil
it. An old patch is not sewn onto a
new garment,
because a tear would
result." Man Horses A new garment |
[9:6]
And in those
days shall men
seek death, and shall not find it;
and
shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. [9:7] And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. [9:8] And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. [9:9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. [9:10] And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. Men... men... men Horses... horses Breastplates... breastplates |
(48) Jesus
said, "If two
make peace with
each other
in this one house, they
will say
to the mountain, 'Move
Away,'
and it
will move
away." Two Make peace They will say Move Away... move away |
[9:11]
And they had a king over them, which
is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the
Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. [9:12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. [9:13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [9:14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. [9:15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. [9:16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. Two... two One... Apollyon (destroy) I heard a voice... I heard the number Loose... loosed |

Jesus said,
"Blessed
are the
solitary and
elect, for you will find the
kingdom. For you are from
it,
and to it you
will return." Blessed are the solitary and elect From it You will return |
[9:17]
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on
them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and
the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their
mouths issued
fire and smoke and brimstone. [9:18] By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. [9:19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. [9:20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [9:21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. The rest of the men... were... killed... Men killed Issued Repented... repented... sorceries |
(50)
Jesus said,
"If they say to you,
'Where did you
come from?', say to them, 'We came from the
light,
the place where the
light came into being on its
own accord and established itself
and
became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?',
say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.' If
they ask you, 'What
is the
sign of your father in you?',
say to them,
'It is movement and repose.'" Say... say... say.... ask The light What is the sign |
[10:1]
And I saw
another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed
with
a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the
sun, and his feet as pillars
of fire: [10:2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [10:3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. [10:4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. (Prophesy again. There are seven voices named in The Little Book known as The Gospel of Thomas. The Seven Thunders: Jesus, Thomas, James, Peter, Matthew, Solome, and Mary.) Cried... voice... cried... uttered their voices... uttered their voices.. voice... uttered The sun... fire Write them not |

His disciples
said to him, "When
will the
repose of the dead come about,
and when
will the
new world come?" He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it." When will the repose of the dead come about When will the new world come |
[10:5]
And the angel which I
saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven, [10:6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: [10:7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Earth... heaven... time no longer Heaven... earth... the mystery of God should be finished |
(52)
His disciples
said to him,
"Twenty-four prophets
spoke in Israel, and all of
them spoke in you." He said to them, "You have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken (only) of the dead." Prophets spoke Spoken (only) of the dead |
[10:8]
And the voice which I
heard from
heaven spake unto me again,
and
said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the
angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. [10:9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. [10:10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [10:11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. [11:1] And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. [11:2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. I heard from heaven... prophesy again Them that worship therein... the temple |
(53)
His disciples
said to him, "Is circumcision
beneficial
or not?" He said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable." Beneficial or not Circumcision...circumcision |
[11:3]
And I will
give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in
sackcloth. [11:4] These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. [11:5] And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. Two olive trees... two candlesticks Any man will hurt... any man will hurt |
(54)
Jesus said, "Blessed
are the
poor,
for yours is
the kingdom of heaven." Blessed are the poor Heaven |

have power to shut heaven,
that it rain not in the days of
their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and
to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. These have power Heaven |

Jesus said,
"Whoever does not hate
his father
and his mother cannot become a disciple to me. And whoever does not hate
his brothers and sisters and take up his cross
in
my way will not
be worthy of me." Hate... hate Cross |
[11:7]
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast
that
ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make
war
against them, and
shall overcome them, and kill
them. [11:8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Make war against them Crucified... dead bodies... kill them |
(56)
Jesus said,
"Whoever has come to
understand the
world has found (only) a
corpse,
and whoever has found a
corpse
is
superior to the
world." The world... the world A corpse... a corpse |
[11:9]
And they of the
people and
kindreds and tongues and nations
shall
see their dead
bodies three days and an
half, and shall not suffer
their dead
bodies to be put
in graves. [11:10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. The earth... the earth... The people and kindreds and tongues and nations... Dead bodies... dead bodies |
(57)
Jesus said, "The
kingdom of
the
father is like
a man
who had good
seed. His
enemy came
by night and
sowed weeds among
the good seed. The man did not allow them to pull
up
the weeds; he said
to them, 'I am afraid
that you will go intending to pull
up
the weeds
and pull
up the wheat along with
them.' For on
the day of
the harvest
the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled
up
and burned." The kingdom of the father is like a man Pull up... pull up... pull up Good seed His enemy came by night Afraid On the day of the harvest Burned |
[11:11]
And after
three days and an half the
Spirit of
life from God
entered into them, and they
stood upon
their feet; and great fear
fell
upon them which saw them. [11:12] And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. [11:13] And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. [11:14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [11:15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [11:16] And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, [11:17] Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. [11:18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, The Spirit of life from God entered into them Come up hither... ascended up They stood upon their feet... (these two prophets... put in graves) The same hour was there a great earthquake Affrighted The kingdoms of this world... become the kingdoms of our Lord The nations were angry, and thy wrath is come |
(58)
Jesus said,
"Blessed is the
man who
has
suffered
and found
life." The man who has suffered Found life |
and
the time
of the
dead, that they should be
judged, and that thou shouldest give
reward unto thy
servants
the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that
fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which
destroy the earth. [11:19] And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. The dead... thy servants the prophets, and to the saints There was seen in his temple the ark of his testament |

Jesus said, "Take
heed of
the
living one while
you are alive, lest you die and seek to see him and be unable to do so." Take heed of the living one |

And there
appeared a great wonder in heaven; a
woman clothed
with
the sun, and the moon under
her feet, and upon her head a crown
of
twelve stars: [12:2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. A woman clothed with the sun |
(60)
<They saw> a
Samaritan carrying a lamb on
his way to Judea. He said to his disciples, "That
man is
round about
the lamb." They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it." He said to them, "While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse." They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise." He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten." That man is round about the lamb Kill it and eat it... eat it... killed it... be eaten A place... within repose |
[12:3]
And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great
red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads. [12:4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. [12:5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [12:6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. A man child, who was to rule all nations Devour... feed A place prepared of God |

Jesus said, "Two
will rest
on a
bed: the one
will die, and the other will live." Salome said, "Who are you, man, that you ... have come up on my couch and eaten from my table?" Jesus said to her, "I am he who exists from the undivided. I was given some of the things of my father." <...> "I am your disciple." <...> "Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness." Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and the other will live Who are you, man, that you ... have come up on my couch I... exists from the undivided I was given some of the things of my father Light... darkness |
[12:7]
And there
was war
in heaven: Michael and his
angels fought
against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [12:8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [12:9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [12:10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [12:11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. There was war in heaven... Lives... death Neither was their place found any more in heaven The kingdom of our God The word of their testimony Day and night |

Jesus said,
"It is to those
who are
worthy of
my mysteries that I tell my mysteries. Do not let your
left (hand)

Therefore rejoice, ye
heavens, and
ye that dwell in them. Woe
to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come
down
unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a
short time. [12:13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [12:14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [12:15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [12:16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [12:17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them... The man child The inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!... the woman |

Jesus said,
"There was a
rich man
who had much
money. He said, 'I shall put my
money
to use so that I may sow, reap,
plant, and fill
my storehouse with produce,
with the result that I
shall lack nothing.' Such were his intentions, but that same night he
died. Let him who has ears hear." A rich man He died Much money... my money Fill my storehouse Let him who has ears hear |
[13:1]
And I
stood upon the sand of
the sea, and
saw
a
beast rise
up
out
of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. [13:2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. [13:3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [13:4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [13:5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [13:6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. [13:7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. [13:8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. [13:9] If any man have an ear, let him hear. A beast... the beast... the beast... the beast... the beast Wounded to death... slain His power... great authority He opened his mouth in blasphemy against God If any man have an ear, let him hear |

Jesus said, "A man had received
visitors. And
when he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant to invite the
guests. He went to the first one and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said, 'I have claims against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them my orders. I ask to be excused from the dinner.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master has invited you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have any spare time.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'My friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused from the dinner.' He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused.' The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the dinner have asked to be excused.' The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.' Businessmen and merchants will not enter the places of my father." Businessmen and merchants... merchants |
13:10]
He that
leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the
patience and the faith of the saints. [13:11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [13:12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. [13:13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [13:14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [13:15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [13:16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [13:17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [13:18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Another beast... the first beast... the beast... an image to the beast... the beast... the image of the beast... the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number... of the beast |

He
said, "There was a
good man who
owned a
vineyard.
He
leased it to
tenant farmers
so that they might work it and
he might collect the produce from them. He sent his
servant
so that the
tenants might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his
servant and beat him, all but killing him. The servant went back and
told his master. The master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them.'
He sent another
servant.
The tenants beat this one as well. Then the
owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my
son.' Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the
heir to the
vineyard,
they seized him and killed him. Let him who has
ears hear." A good man who owned a vineyard He leased it to tenant farmers Another servant... the heir to the vineyard |
[14:1]
And I
looked, and, lo, a
Lamb stood on
the mount Sion, and with
him an
hundred forty and four thousand,
having his Father's name
written in
their foreheads. [14:2] And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: [14:3] And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. [14:4] These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. [14:5] And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. [14:6] And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [14:7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. A Lamb stood on the mount Sion redeemed from the earth... redeemed from among men Another angel... having the everlasting gospel to preach... to every nation |

Jesus said,
"Show me the stone
which the
builders have rejected.
That one is the
cornerstone." Rejected The cornerstone |
[14:8]
And there
followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine
of the wrath of her fornication. [14:9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, [14:10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: [14:11] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Receive... receiveth The Lamb |

deficient." One who knows the all Completely deficient |

Here is the
patience of the
saints:
here are they
that keep the
commandments of God, and the
faith of
Jesus. [14:13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. [14:14] And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. [14:15] And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. [14:16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. [14:17] And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [14:18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. The saints... they that keep... the faith of Jesus Fully ripe... ripe |
(68)
Jesus said,
"Blessed are you when
you are hated
and persecuted. Wherever you have been persecuted they will find no
place." No place |
[14:19]
And the
angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered
the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the
wrath of God. [14:20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. Without the city |
(69)
Jesus said,
"Blessed are they who
have been
persecuted within
themselves. It is they
who
have truly come to know
the father. Blessed are the
hungry, for the belly of him who
desires
will be filled." Within themselves They... know the father |
[15:1]
And I saw
another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven
angels having the seven last plagues; for in
them
is filled up the
wrath of God. [15:2] And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, In them Them that had gotten the victory |
(70)
Jesus said, "That
which you
have
will save you
if you bring
it forth from yourselves.
That which you do not have
within you will kill you if you do not have it within you." That which you have will save you Bring it forth from yourselves |
and
over his image, and
over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of
glass, having
the harps of God. [15:3] And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. [15:4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. [15:5] And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: [15:6] And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. Having the harps of God They sing the song of Moses... And the song of the Lamb... angels came out of the temple |

house, and no
one will be able to build it
[...]." This house No one |
[15:7]
And one of
the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven
golden
vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. [15:8] And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. The temple... the temple No man |
(72)
A man said to
him, "Tell
my
brothers to divide
my father's possessions with me." He said to him, "O man, who has made me a divider?" He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am I?" Tell my brothers to divide I am not a divider, am I |
[16:1]
And I heard
a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven
angels, Go
your ways, and pour out the
vials of the wrath of God upon
the earth. [16:2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [16:3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [16:4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [16:5] And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. Go your ways O Lord... thou hast judged |
(73)
Jesus said,
"The harvest is great
but the
laborers are few. Beseech the
Lord, therefore, to send out laborers
to
the harvest." The laborers... laborers |
[16:6]
For they
have shed the blood of saints
and
prophets, and thou
hast
given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. [16:7] And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. Saints and prophets |

He said, "O
Lord, there
are many
around the
drinking trough, but there is
nothing
in the
cistern." There are many around the drinking trough, but... nothing in the cistern |
[16:8]
And the fourth angel
poured out his vial
upon the
sun; and power
was given unto him to scorch
men with fire. [16:9] And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. [16:10] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [16:11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. The sun... scorched... and they gnawed their tongues |
(75)
Jesus said,
"Many are standing at the
door, but
it is the solitary who will
enter the
bridal chamber." The door Will enter the bridal chamber |
[16:12]
And the
sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the
way
of the
kings of the east might be prepared. [16:13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. The way Come out of the mouth ... out of the mouth ... out of the mouth... |
(76)
Jesus said, "The
kingdom of
the
father is like
a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and who discovered a
pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the
pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and enduring
treasure where comes near no
mothto devour
and no worm destroys." The kingdom of the father No moth... to devour Destroys |
[16:14]
For they
are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which
go
forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world,
to
gather
them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [16:15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16:16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. The kings of the earth and of the whole world Keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked Armageddon |

is I
who am the
light which is

[16:17]
And the seventh angel
poured out his vial
into the air; and
there
came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne,
saying, It
is done. [16:18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; It is done Lightnings |
(78)
Jesus said,
"Why have you come out
into the
desert? To see a reed shaken
by the wind? And to see a man clothed in
fine garments like your kings and your great
men? Upon
them are the
fine garments, and they are unable
to
discern the truth." Shaken Great men? Upon them are the fine garments Unable to discern the truth |
and
there
was a
great earthquake, such as was
not since men were upon the earth,
so
mighty an
earthquake, and so great. [16:19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [16:20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [16:21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. [17:1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee A great earthquake... an earthquake Upon men a great hail... the plague... was... great I will shew unto thee |

A
woman
from the crowd said to him,
"Blessed
are the
womb which bore you and the
breasts
which nourished you." He said to her, "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and have truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not conceived and the breasts which have not given milk.'" A woman The womb which bore you The breasts which nourished you... milk Those who have heard the word of the father The womb... the breasts |
the
judgment
of the
great whore that sitteth upon
many waters: [17:2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [17:3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [17:4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [17:5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [17:6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [17:7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The great whore Have committed fornication Drunk with the wine of her fornication... Drunken with the blood The saints... The martyrs of Jesus The woman... THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS |

Jesus said,
"He who has recognized the
world
has found the
body, but he who has found the
body
is superior to the
world." The world... the world The body... the body |
[17:8]
The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out
of the
bottomless pit, and go into
perdition: and they that dwell on the
earth shall wonder, whose
names were not written in the
book of life
from the foundation of the
world,
when they behold the beast that was,
and is not, and yet is. [17:9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. The world... the earth... the bottomless pit The book of life... the mind which hath wisdom |

Jesus said,
"Let him who has grown
rich be king,
and let
him who possesses power renounce it." King Let him who possesses power renounce it |
[17:10]
And there are seven kings:
five are fallen, and one is, and the
other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short
space. [17:11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [17:12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [17:13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Kings... kings... kingdom... kings These... shall give their power... unto the beast |
(82)
Jesus said,
"He who is near me
is
near the
fire, and he who is far from me
is
far from the
kingdom." Me The fire The kingdom |

These shall
make war
with the
Lamb, and the
Lamb
shall overcome
them: for he is Lord of lords, and King
of kings:
and they that are
with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [17:15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [17:16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17:17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [17:18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. The Lamb... the Lamb Fire... war King of kings... kingdom... the kings of the earth |

Jesus said,
"The images are
manifest to man,
but the
light in them remains
concealed in the image of the light of
the father. He
will become
manifest, but his image will
remain
concealed by his
light." The light... his light He will become manifest |
[18:1]
And after
these things I saw another angel come down from
heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened
with
his glory. [18:2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. [18:3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. [18:4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [18:5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Lightened with his glory Come out of her, my people |
(84)
Jesus said,
"When
you
see your
likeness, you
rejoice. But when you see
your images which came into being
before you,
and which neither die
not
become manifest, how much you will have to
bear!" When you see your likeness, you rejoice Die |
[18:6]
Reward her even as she
rewarded you, and
double unto her double
according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her
double. [18:7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [18:8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. She hath glorified herself Death |
(85)
Jesus said, "Adam
came into being
from a great
power and a great wealth, but he did not become worthy of you. For had
he been worthy, he would not have experienced
death." Adam Experienced death |
[18:9]
And the
kings of
the earth, who have
committed fornication and
lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when
they shall see the smoke of her burning, [18:10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. The kings of the earth Judgment (is) come |
(86)
Jesus said, "The
foxes have
their
holes and the
birds have their nests, but the
son of man
has no
place to
lay
his head
and rest." The foxes have The son of man No place No place to lay... rest |
[18:11]
And the
merchants
of the earth shall weep
and mourn over her;
for
no man buyeth
