Jesus saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb going to Judea: Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.^5(10-11) + but only if he has killed it: Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? And he that was healed wist not who it was, for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.^5(12-13) + and it has become a corpse: Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.⁵⁽¹⁴⁾ + They said, otherwise he will not be able to do it: The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.^5(15-16) + He said to them: But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.⁵⁽¹⁷⁾ + you yourselves seek a place for yourselves in repose: Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.⁵⁽¹⁸⁾ + and he will: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Jesus saw children who were being suckled: 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.⁵⁽²⁴⁾+ He said to his disciples, these children who are being suckled: 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.⁵⁽²⁵⁾ + are like those who enter the kingdom: 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.^5(26-27) + They said to him, shall we then being children enter the kingdom: 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.^5(28-29) + Jesus said to them, when you make the two one: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.^5(30-31) + and when you make the inner as the outer: There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.^5(32-33) + and the outer as the inner: But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.^5(34-35) + and the above as the below: But I have greater witness than that of 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.⁵⁽³⁶⁾ + and when you make the male and the female into a single one: And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.^5(37t) + so that the male will be male: Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.^5(37b) + and the female not be female: And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.⁵⁽³⁸⁾ + when you make eyes in the place of eyes and hands in the place of hands and feet in the place of feet: 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.^5(39-42) + and an image in the place of an image: 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.⁵⁽⁴³⁾ + then shall you enter the kingdom of God: How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?⁵⁽⁴⁴⁾

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

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

● John 5(25-27): 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.

● 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 8(41-42): Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

● John 10(24-38): 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 answered 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.

● Deuteronomy 5(26): For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

Note: Jesus said: So the father [the same Isaac] knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth:^4(53t) + look upon the Living: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.^4(53b-54)

● Isaiah 29(22-24): Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham [the same blind man from birth], concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob [the same impotent man lying on a bed] shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

● Thomas 60(18) Part 2 of Chapter 5: and it has become a corpse [a man]: Afterward Jesus findeth him [the same Jacob] in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing [disease] come unto you.⁵⁽¹⁴⁾

● Thomas 56(30-31) Part 6 of Chapter 2: has found a corpse: But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,²⁽²⁴⁾ + and whoever has found a corpse: And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.²⁽²⁵⁾

Note: as long as you live: After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.⁵⁽¹⁾

● Leviticus 23(1-44): 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 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 of the first month at even is the LORD’S passover. And on the fifteenth day [light/day] of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In the fist 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.^(1-8) Etc.

● Exodus 23(14-17): Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

● Deuteronomy 16(16): Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose [Jerusalem]; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

● 2 Chronicles 6(1-11): Then said Solomon, the LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying, Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart: Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

● 2 Chronicles 8(12-13): Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the alter of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

Note: as long as you live: After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.⁵⁽¹⁾

● Thomas 36(24-26) Part 2 of Chapter 4: from morning until evening: Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;^4(20t) + and from evening [the final Passover]: and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.^4(20b) + until morning [Jesus returns to his Father]: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.⁴⁽²¹⁾

● 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 is 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 [Jerusalem]: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

● Isaiah 66(1-5): 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. Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Jesus saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb going to Judea: Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease [a lamb] he had.^5(2-4) + He said to his disciples, this man carries a lamb with him to Judea: And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity [a lamb] thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?^5(5-6) + They said to him, in order that he may kill it [the lamb/disease]: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.^5(7-8) + and then he will eat [raise] it: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.⁵⁽⁹⁾ + He said to them, as long as it is alive, he will not eat [raise] it: The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.^5(10-11) + but only if he has killed it: Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? And he that was healed wist not who it was, for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.^5(12-13) + and it has become a corpse [a man]: Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worst thing [disease] come upon thee.⁵⁽¹⁴⁾ + They said, otherwise he will not be able to do it: The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.^5(15-16) + He said to them: But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.⁵⁽¹⁷⁾ + you yourselves seek a place for yourselves in repose: Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.⁵⁽¹⁸⁾ + and he will: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.^5(19-20) + become a corpse and be eaten [raised]: For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.⁵⁽²¹⁾

Note: Thomas 60(12-16) Part 2 of Chapter 5: <Jesus saw> a Samaritan carrying a lamb going to Judea. He said to his disciples, this man carries a lamb with him to Judea. They said to him, in order that he may kill it and then he will ear it. [Note: Saying 60 should begin with ‘Jesus saw’ rather than ‘They saw’.

● Thomas 22(20-24) Part 4 of Chapter 5: Jesus saw children who were being suckled. He said to his disciples, these children who are being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom. They said to him, shall we then being children enter the kingdom?

Note: Jesus saw a Samaritan [the same Jacob] carrying a lamb going to Judea: Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.^5(2-4) + He said to his disciples, this man carries a lamb with him to Judea: And a certain man [the same Jacob] was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?^5(5-6) + They said to him, in order that he may kill it: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.^5(7-8) + and then he will eat it: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.⁵⁽⁹⁾

● John 4(9-14): Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

● Isaiah 29(22-24): Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham [the same impotent man - blind], concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob [the same impotent man - halt] shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

● John 9(1-7): And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man [the same Abraham] with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

● Genesis 32(24-32): And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

Note: They said to him, in order that he may kill it: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.^5(7-8) - and he will: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.^5(19-20)

● John 14(6-14): Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 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 dewelleth 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.

Note: They said to him, in order that he may kill it [the lamb/disease]: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.^5(7-8) + and then he will eat [raise] it: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.⁵⁽⁹⁾ - become a corpse and be eaten [raised]: For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.⁵⁽²¹⁾

Note: and it has become a corpse [a man]: Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing [disease] come unto thee.⁵⁽¹⁴⁾

● Thomas 56(30-31) Part 6 of Chapter 2: has found a corpse: But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,²⁽²⁴⁾ + and whoever has found a corpse: And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.²⁽²⁵⁾

● Isaiah 43(25-28): I [Father], even I [Mother], am he [the LORD] that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

● Isaiah 44(21-22): Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

● Deuteronomy 32(39-40): See now that I [Father], even I [Mother], am he [the LORD], and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

● Note: the secret words of Thomas 19(17-18): Jesus said: Blessed is he who was before he came into being.

● Genesis 27(30-40): And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. And he said, thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shall break his yoke from off thy neck.

● John 14(5-14): Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 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 I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

● John 10(25-42): 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 answered 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 12(26) Part 6 of Chapter 12: who is it: Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him [the Father] that sent me [the Mother]. And he that seeth me [Jesus] seeth him [Lord Adam] that sent me [Lord Eve].^12(44-45)

The first thief and liar - Mark 3(27-35) - The first false gospel

No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house [taken from Thomas Saying 35(20-23) Part 2 of Chapter 1]. Verily I say unto you [always “Verily, verily, I say unto you,” according to the Gospel of John], All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit [taken from Thomas Saying 44(26-31) Part 3 of Chapter 5]. There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother [created from Thomas Saying 99(21-25) Part 10 of Chapter 19].

The second thief and liar - Matthew 12(28-35) - The second false gospel

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house [taken from Thomas Saying 35(20-23) Part 2 of Chapter 1]. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come [taken from Thomas Saying 44(26-31) Part 3 of Chapter 5]. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit [created from Thomas Saying 43(21-26) Part 4 of Chapter 8]. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things [taken from Thomas Saying 45(34-5) Part 6 of Chapter 8].

The third thief and liar - Luke 12(10) - The third false gospel

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.

Note: The word ‘not’ was used 96 times throughout the 115 Sayings contained in the Gospel of Thomas. I removed the word ‘not’ 7 times (in Saying 3, 22, 40, 85 and 91). This was done because of the information contained in the true words of the Gospel of John from which the secret words were originally created from or created for. In Saying 22, I removed the word ‘not’ because it does not belong there.

Note: Jesus saw children who were being suckled: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him [the Father] that sent me [the Mother], hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.⁵⁽²⁴⁾ + he said to his disciples, these children who are being suckled: 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.⁵⁽²⁵⁾ + are like those who enter the kingdom: 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.^5(26-27) + They said to him, shall we then being children enter the kingdom: 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.^5(28-29)

● Isaiah 66(10-14): Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 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, and his indignation toward his enemies.

Note: and when you make the inner [Abel] as the outer [John]: There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he [Abel] witnesseth of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.^5(32-33)

● John 1(14-15): And the Word [the LORD God] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his [Adam's/Man's] glory, the glory [Woman/Eve] as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He [Lord Jesus - born of woman] that cometh after me [John] is preferred before me: for he [Lord Eve - not born of woman] was before me [Abel].

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

● Genesis 4(1-2): And Adam [not born of woman - Father of all living] knew Eve [not born of woman - Mother of all living] his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain [born of woman], and said, I [Lord Eve] have gotten a man from the LORD [Lord Adam]. And she again bare his brother Abel [born of woman]. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Note: and the outer [John] as the inner [Aaron]: But I receive not testimony from man [John]: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He [Aaron] was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.^5(34-35)

● Exodus 4(27-31): And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Note: and the above as the below: 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.⁵⁽³⁶⁾

Note: so that the male will be male: Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.^5(37b)

● John 14(7-9): If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 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?

● John 12(44-45): Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him [the Father] that sent me [the Mother]. And he that seeth me [Jesus] seeth him [Lord Adam] that sent me [Lord Eve].

● Genesis 5(1-2): This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

● Genesis 9(1-7): 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 hand 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. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

Note: and the female not be female: And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom [the Mother - Lord Eve] he [the Father - Lord Adam] hath sent, him [the Son - Lord Jesus/Eve] ye believe not.⁵⁽³⁸⁾

● Genesis 2(23-24): 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. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

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

● Thomas 96(2-3) Part 6 of Chapter 16: Jesus said, the kingdom of the Father is like a woman: I [Lord Eve the Mother] came forth from the Father [Lord Adam], and am come into the world: again, I [Lord Jesus/Eve the Son] leave the world, and go to the Father [Lord Adam/Jesus]. His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.^16(28-29)

Note: when you make eyes in the place of eyes and hands in the place of hands and feet in the place of feet: 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.^5(39-42)

● 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.

● John 15(24-27): If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

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

Note: when you make eyes in the place of eyes and hands in the place of hands and feet in the place of feet: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think that ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

● Thomas 49(27-30) 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, 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⁾ + the kingdom: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.³⁽³⁾ + because you [Moses] come from it, you [Nicodemus/Moses] shall go there again: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?³⁽⁴⁾

● Thomas 50(31-1) Part 3 of Chapter 3: Jesus said, if they say to you, from where have you originated? say to them, we have come from the Light where the Light has originated through itself: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.³⁽⁵⁾ + it came: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.³⁽⁶⁾ + and it revealed itself in their image: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.³⁽⁷⁾

● Thomas 64(28-34) Part 2 of Chapter 9: I shall not be able to come, I pray to be excused: We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.⁹⁽²⁹⁾ + the servant came: The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.^9(30-31) + he said to his master, those whom thou hast invited to the dinner [his works] have excused themselves: Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.^9(32-34) + the master said to his servant, go out to the roads, bring those whom thou shalt find: Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?^9(35-36) + so that they may dine: And Jesus said unto him [the same Abraham], Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.^9(37-38)

Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.⁸⁽⁵²⁾ + for out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things: Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?⁸⁽⁵³⁾

Note: and an image [male] in the place of an image [female]: I [Mother] am come in my Father's name [Jesus/Adam], and ye receive me [Lord Jesus/Eve the Mother/Son] not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.⁵⁽⁴³⁾

● Exodus 20(12): Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Note: then shall you enter the kingdom of God: How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?⁵⁽⁴⁴⁾

● Psalm 15(1-5): LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Note: I shall choose you, one out of a thousand [Pharisees]: Do not think that I [Mother] will accuse you to the Father: there is one [Nicodemus] that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye [the Pharisees] trust.⁵⁽⁴⁵⁾ + and two [Eve-Eve] out of ten thousand [words]: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me [Jesus]: for he wrote of me [Eve]. But if ye believe not his [Nicodemus’ the same Noah/Moses/Isaiah] writings, how shall ye believe my words [Lord Jesus/Eve - the Mother/Son]?^5(46-47) + and they shall stand as a single one: After these things Jesus [Mother/Son] went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.⁶⁽¹⁾

● John 20(30-31): And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book [the 3^rd book - the Gospel according to Thomas]: But these are written [the 1^st book - the Gospel according to John], that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing [the 2^nd unsealed book - John + Thomas (not spread upon the earth] ye might have life through his name [Lord Eve].

● John 21(1-6)+(11-14): After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself [a single one - Lord Eve/Jesus - the Son/Mother]. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee [James and Matthew], and two other of his disciples [Lazarus and Nicodemus the same Moses - the author]. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when morning was now come, Jesus [Lord Eve the Mother] stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of the fishes.^21(1-6) Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Jesus [the Mother] saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord [Eve]. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself [Man, Man, Woman] to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.^21(11-14)

● Thomas 97(12-14) Part 4 of Chapter 16: she had noticed no accident: And ye now therefore have sorrow:^16(22t) + after she came into her house: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.^16(22b) + she put her jar down: And in that day [the third time] ye shall ask me [Woman/Mother] nothing.^16(23t) she: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father [Lord Adam/Jesus] in my name [Lord Eve], he will give it you.^16(23b) + found it: Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name [Lord Eve the Mother]:^16(24t) + empty: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.^16(24b)

Thomas (23) End - Thomas (9-part 1) Begin

Note: John 5(3-4): The NU-Text omits ‘waiting for the moving of the water’ at the end of verse 3 and all of verse 4. Since I have taken all the secret words from all the Sayings contained in the Gospel of Thomas and placed them with the information contained in the Gospel of John from which the secret words were originally created, I know for a fact that John 5(3b-4) was part of the original writing. The following secret words will confirm this. Also, it was obvious to me that without verse 4, there is no explanation as to why the impotent man had to go into the pool when the water is troubled, or why he did not just go in right after another person went in before him (verse 7).

PART 1 - The Secret Words of Thomas (59) were created from John 4(53-54end)+5(1-9)

PART 2 - The Secret Words of Thomas (60) were created from John 5(2-21)

Jesus saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb going to Judea: Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.^5(2-3-4) + He said to his disciples, this man carries a lamb with him to Judea: And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?^5(5-6) + They said to him, in order that he may kill it: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.^5(7-8) + and then he will eat it: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.⁵⁽⁹⁾ + He said to them, as long as it is alive, he will not eat it: The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.^5(10-11) + but only if he has killed it: Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? And he that was healed wist not who it was, for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.^5(12-13) + and it has become a corpse: Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.⁵⁽¹⁴⁾ + They said, otherwise he will not be able to do it: The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.^5(15-16) + He said to them: But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.⁵⁽¹⁷⁾ + you yourselves seek a place for yourselves in repose: Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.⁵⁽¹⁸⁾ + and he will: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.^5(19-20) + become a corpse and be eaten: For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.⁵⁽²¹⁾

Note: My recreation of John + Thomas contains a total of 1,060 secret words. Certain numbers given in the Gospel of Thomas are secret numbers (1000 + 60 = 1,060 - Sayings 32 & 33 according to the original order). The Gospel of John (King James Version) contains 879 verses (1000 - 1 - 120 = 879). As you can see, Nicodemus with the Holy Ghost prepared these things in the past for this moment in time.

PART 5 - SAYING 33 - The Secret Words of Thomas Saying (23) were created from John 5(44-47end)+6(1)

Jesus said: How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?⁵⁽⁴⁴⁾ + I shall choose you, one [1] out of a thousand [1000]: Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.⁵⁽⁴⁵⁾ + and two out of ten thousand: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?^5(46-47) + and they shall stand as a single one: After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.⁶⁽¹⁾

PART 1 - SAYING 34 - The Secret Words of Thomas Saying (9-part 1) were created from John 5(46-47end)+6(1-2)&(10-13)

Jesus said, see: 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?^5(46-47) + the sower went out: After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.⁶⁽¹⁾ + 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⁾ [for John 6(3-9) see PART 2] + on the good earth: And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place.^6(10t) + and it brought forth much fruit: So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.^6(10b-11) + it bore sixty [60] per measure and one hundred twenty [120] per measure: When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 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: Saying 9 is a special saying containing two parts, this is part 1 - See *Note in PART 1 of Chapter 6 (section two)] [Note: The secret words which formed the Sayings contained in the Gospel of Thomas were created either to acknowledge the information they were created from or to reveal something about the information they were created for. The Sayings themselves have no value.]
