Yaşayan İsa'nın Sözleri: İçinizdeki Krallık

Since the publication of the first edition of this work, the rubbish heaps of ancient Oxyrhynchus have yielded yet another battered scrap of papyrus containing material from a similar collection of sayings, the decipherable portions of which run as follows in Grenfell and Hunt's edition (New Sayings of Jesus; London, 1904): These are the . . . words which Jesus the Living One spoke to . . . and Thomas, and He said to them: "Every one who hearkens to these words shall never taste of death." Jesus says: "Let not him who seeks . . . cease until he finds, and when he finds he shall wonder; wondering he shall reign, and reigning shall rest." Jesus says: "(You ask? Who are these) that draw us (to the kingdom if) the kingdom is in Heaven? . . . the fowls of the air, and all beasts that are under the earth or upon the earth, and the fishes of the sea (these are they that draw) you; and the Kingdom of Heaven is within you; and whoever shall know himself shall find it. (Strive therefore?) to know yourselves, and you shall be aware that you are the sons of the . . . Father; (and?) you shall know that you are in (the City of God?), and you are (the City?)." Jesus says: "Everything that is not before your face and that which is hidden from you shall be revealed to you. For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest, nor buried which shall not be raised."
