Gospel of Thomas Verse 38-43
38) Jesus said, “Many times have you desired to hear these words
which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them
from. There will be days when you look for Me and will not find
Me.”
39) Jesus said, “The Pharisees and the scribes have taken the
keys of Knowledge 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.”
40) Jesus said, “A grapevine has been planted outside of the
Father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and
destroyed.”
41) Jesus said, “Whoever has something in his hand will receive
more, and whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little
he has.”
42) Jesus said, “Become passers-by.”
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.”
