Gospel of Thomas Verse 55-60
55) 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.”
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.”
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.”
58) Jesus said, “Blessed is the man who has suffered and found
life.”
59) 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.”
60) <They saw> a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea.
He said to his disciples, “(Why does) that man (carry) the lamb
around?”
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 the Repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten.”
