Gospel of Thomas Verse 98-103

98)  Jesus said, “The Kingdom of the Father is like a certain man
who wanted to kill a powerful man. In his own house he drew his
sword and stuck it into the wall in order to find out whether his
hand could carry through. Then he slew the powerful man.”
 
99)  The disciples said to Him, “Your brothers and Your mother
are standing outside.”
     He said to them, “Those here who do the will of My Father
are My brothers and My mother. It is they who will enter the
Kingdom of My Father.”
 
100) They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to Him, “Caesar’s men
demand taxes from us.”
     He said to them, “Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give
God what belongs to God, and give Me what is Mine.”
 
101) <Jesus said,> “Whoever does not hate his father and his
mother as I do cannot become a disciple to Me. And whoever does
[not] love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a
[disciple] to Me. For My mother [gave me falsehood], but [My]
true [Mother] gave me life.”
 
102) Jesus said, “Woe to the Pharisees, for they are like a dog
sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither does he eat nor does
he let the oxen eat.”
 
103) Jesus said, “Fortunate is the man who knows where the
brigands will enter, so that he may get up, muster his domain,
and arm himself before they invade.”
