The Gospel of Thomas


Translated by Thomas O. Lambdin
1 Timothy (KJV)

Perhaps written while meditating on the
Original Gospel of Christ
______________________________________________________________________

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
(1:1)   Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ

The living Jesus Paul
Didymos Judas Thomas Jesus Christ... Jesus Christ
________________________________________________________________________

(1) And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death."
(1:1b)    which is our hope; 1:2   Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: 
Whoever finds Timothy
Not experience death Our hope
______________________________________________________________________

(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."
(1:2b)   Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Troubled... troubled Peace
The All Jesus Christ

(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." (1:3)   As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

If those who lead you say to you... If they say to you Charge some that they teach no other doctrine
The kingdom... the kingdom Macedonia = "extended land"

(4) 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."
(1:4)   Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions
The man old in days Endless genealogies
Ask Questions
_______________________________________________________________________

(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."
(1:4b)  rather than godly edifying which is in faith:
What is in your sight Godly edifying
Which is hidden... hidden Which is in faith
______________________________________________________________________

(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."
(1:4c)   so do. 1:5   Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Do... do not... do not do Do
Hate Charity
All things are plain in the sight of heaven A pure heart... a good conscience
Hidden... nothing covered will remain without being uncovered Faith unfeigned

(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." (1:6)   From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 1:7   Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
The lion...the lion Teachers of the law
Consumed... consumes Vain jangling
Cursed The law

(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."
(1:8)   But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 1:9   Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
A wise fisherman... a wise fisherman A man... a righteous man
Wise... wise Know... Knowing
A fine large fish A righteous man

(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."
(1:9b)   but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10   For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Seeds... seed(s) Sound doctrine
The birds... worms The lawless... disobedient... the ungodly... sinners... unholy... profane... murderers... murderers... manslayers... whoremongers... them that defile... menstealers... liars... perjured persons

(10) Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes."
(1:11)   According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Fire... see... blazes The glorious gospel
I am guarding it Which was committed to my trust

(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?"
(1:12)   And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
When you come to dwell in the light Putting me into the ministry
What will you do?...  what will you do? Enabled
You were one you became two He counted me

(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."
(1:13)   Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Who is to be our leader? Who was before a blasphemer
The righteous A persecutor, and injurious

(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.
(1:14)   And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:15   This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1:16   Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Whom I am like... whom you are like Of whom I am chief
Tell me... incapable of saying... What did Jesus say to you?... I tell you... he told me This is a faithful saying
A righteous angel Christ Jesus
Philosopher Love... Christ Jesus
Master... master Lord... Jesus Christ
The bubbling spring Life everlasting
Pick up stones and throw them at me Obtained mercy
Come out of the stones Came into the world
A fire... burn you up Save sinners

(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."
(1:17)   Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Your spirits Eternal, immortal, invisible... glory for ever
When Now
Defile... defile Honour

(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."
(1:18)   This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy,
One who was not born of woman Son
Prostrate yourselves Commit unto thee

(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."
(1:18b)   according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
Peace... dissension... war War... warfare
Sword Prophecies

(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."
(1:19)   Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Give Holding... put away
What no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched Faith... faith
The human mind A good conscience

(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."
(1:20)   Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan
Our end... the end?... where the beginning is, there will the end be... he will know the end Hymenaeus = "belonging to marriage". In marriage the end and the beginning are joined in one.
Have you I have
Not experience death Alexander = "man defender"
 I.e. To save from the experience of death
Experience death Delivered unto Satan

(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."
(1:20b)   that they may learn not to blaspheme. 2:1   I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
He who came into being before he came into being All men
Become my disciples... listen to my words, these stones... Whoever becomes acquainted They may learn

(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."
(2:2)   For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
The kingdom of heaven Kings, and... all that are in authority
_______________________________________________________________________

(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."
(2:3)   For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
2:4   Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
2:5   For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
2:6   Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Jesus Jesus

(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."
(2:7)   Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
2:8   I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
2:9   In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

(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."
(2:10)   But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
They shall stand Professing godliness
_______________________________________________________________________

(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."
(2:11)   Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Whoever has ears, let him hear Learn in silence... be in silence
He lights up the whole world Teach

(25) Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye." (2:13)   For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

(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."
(2:14)   And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

(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."
(2:15)   Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Fast as regards the world Sobriety
Find the kingdom Shall be saved
The father Childbearing

(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."
(3:1)   This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
3:2   A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3:3   Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

(29) 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."
(3:4)   One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

(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."
(3:7)   Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
That which you will hear in your ear A good report
Everyone who enters He fall into

(34) Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a pit."

(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"
(3:10b)    being found blameless.
3:11   Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
When will you become revealed Being found

(39) 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."

(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."

(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."

(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."
(4:1)   Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

(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).

(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."
(4:3)    and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

(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.'"
(4:6)   If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
If they say to you... If they say to you If thou put the brethren in remembrance

(51) 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."
(4:7)   But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 4:8   For bodily exercise profiteth little: but  godlness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

(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."
4:9   This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, and all of them spoke in you This is a faithful saying
You have omitted the one living in your presence Worthy of all acceptation

(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."
4:10   For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
Is circumcision beneficial The living God... is the Saviour of all men

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.'
