The Gospel of Thomas Translated by Mark M. Mattison

The Book of Zechariah King James Version

Prologue: The hidden sayings the living Jesus spoke & Thomas wrote down.  The prophetic word of the LORD came unto Zechariah.
These are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.	1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

Saying 1: True Meaning:  He who discovers these sayings won't experience death. Say thou unto them the LORD hath been sore displeased.
And he said, "Whoever discovers the meaning of these sayings won't taste death."	1:2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them,

Saying 2: Seek and Find Jesus said, He who seeks should seek til he finds. They'll be disturbed "Turn ye unto me," saith the LORD. The prophets have cried.
Jesus said, "Whoever seeks shouldn't stop until they find. When they find, they'll be disturbed. When they're disturbed, they'll be […] amazed, and reign over the All."	1:3b    Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 1:4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried,

Saying 3: Seeking Within Jesus said, The kingdom is within & outside. Know you're the sons. Where they live forever says the LORD. My words outlive the fathers.

Jesus said, "If your leaders tell you, 'Look, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they tell you, 'It's in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and outside of you. "When you know yourselves, then you'll be known, and you'll realize that you're the children of the living Father. But if you don't know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty."

1:4b   saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD. 1:5 Your fathers, where are they? and the  prophets, do they live for ever? 1:6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

Saying 4: The First and the Last Jesus said, "Ask a little seven-day-old child." The older man will live. The word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son. And a man stood up.
Jesus said, "The older man won't hesitate to ask a little seven-day-old child about the place of life, and they will live, because many who are first will be last, and they'll become one." (C.f. Zechariah in Hebrew is "Jehovah remembers.")	1:7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom;

Saying 5: Hidden and Revealed  Know what's in front of your face, & what is hidden will be revealed. Behind him, what are these? I will shew thee what.
Jesus said, "Know what's in front of your face, and what's hidden from you will be revealed to you, because there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed."	1:8b and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. 1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.

Saying 6: Public Ritual Jesus said, "Don't lie, everything is revealed in the sight of heaven."  They answered & said, " Behold, All the earth is at rest."
His disciples said to him, "Do you want us to fast? And how should we pray? Should we make donations? And what food should we avoid?" Jesus said, "Don't lie, and don't do what you hate, because everything is revealed in the sight of heaven; for there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed, and nothing covered up that will stay secret."	1:10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

Saying 7: The Lion and the Human How awful for the Lion and the human.  Thou hast had indignation on Judah and the angel.
Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion that's eaten by a human and then becomes human, but how awful for the human  who's eaten by a lion, and the lion becomes human."	1:12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

Saying 8: The Parable of the Fish The wise Fisher found a large fish. The LORD of hosts has great jealousy for Jerusalem.
He said, "The human being is like a wise fisher who cast a net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of little fish. Among them the wise fisher found a fine large fish and cast all the little fish back down into the sea, easily choosing the large fish. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"	1:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and  comfortable words. 1:14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 1:15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease:

Saying 9: The Parable of the Sower A sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them. I am returned with mercies. Prosperity shall yet be spread abroad.

Jesus said, "Look, a sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them. Some fell on the roadside; the birds came and gathered them. Others fell on the rock; they didn't take root in the soil and ears of grain didn't rise toward heaven. Yet others fell on thorns; they choked the seeds and worms ate them. Finally, others fell on good soil; it produced fruit up toward heaven, some sixty times as much and some a hundred and twenty." Scattered Seed: (C.f. See Zechariah 1:19.)

1:15 for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the  affliction. 1:16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my  house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

Saying 10: Jesus and Fire Look, I'm watching over the fire I've cast on the world. Behold, I lifted up mine eyes on the four horns scattering Israel.
Jesus said, "I've cast fire on the world, and look, I'm watching over it until it blazes."	1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 1:19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered  Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 1:20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.

Saying 11: Those Who are Dead Aren't Alive Jesus said, "Heaven disappears. You are divided." What will you do? What come these to do? He said, "The horns have scattered Judah."
Jesus said, "This heaven will disappear, and the one above it will disappear too. Those who are dead aren't alive, and those who are living won't die. In the days when you ate what was dead, you made it alive. When you're in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one, you became divided. But when you become divided, what will you do?"	1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

Saying 12: James the Just Who will lead us ? Wherever you are, you'll go to James the Just. The man with a cord. Where do you go? To measure Jerusalem.
The disciples said to Jesus, "We know you're going to leave us. Who will lead us then?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you'll go to James the Just, for whom heaven and earth came into being."	2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2:2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

Saying 13: Thomas' Confession Jesus said, "I'm not your teacher, since you've become intoxicated." The LORD said, "Deliver thyself, O Zion, from Babylon's daughter."

Jesus said to his disciples, "If you were to compare me to someone, who would you say I'm like?" Simon Peter said to him, "You're like a just angel." Matthew said to him, "You're like a wise philosopher." Thomas said to him, "Teacher, I'm completely unable to say whom you're like." Jesus said, "I'm not your teacher. Because you've drunk, you've become intoxicated by the bubbling spring I've measured out." He took him aside and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked, "What did Jesus say to you?" Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things he said to me, you'll pick up stones and cast them at me, and fire will come out of the stones and burn you up."

2:4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: 2:5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. 2:6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. 2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. 2:9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

Saying 14: What goes into & what comes out of your mouth Harming your spirits, "What comes out of your mouth will defile you." I dwell in the midst of thee, "Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD."

Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you'll bring guilt upon yourselves; and if you pray, you'll be condemned; and if you make donations, you'll harm your spirits. "If they welcome you when you enter any land and go around in the countryside, heal those who are sick among them and eat whatever they give you, because it's not what goes into your mouth that will defile you. What comes out of your mouth is what will defile you."

2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.

Saying 15: Worship Jesus said, "When you see the one, fall down on your face. He shewed me Joshua the high priest standing.
Jesus said, "When you see the one who wasn't born of a woman, fall down on your face and worship that person. That's your Father." (C.f. The name of Jesus in Greek can also be translated as Joshua. See Acts 7:45, & Hebrews 4:8. )	3:1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

Saying 16: Not Peace, but Fire, and War Jesus said, "I've come to cast divisions. They'll stand up and be one."  Joshua spake to those standing. The LORD spoke a "Rebuke."
Jesus said, "Maybe people think that I've come to cast peace on the world, and they don't know that I've come to cast divisions on the earth: fire, sword, and war. Where there are five in a house, there'll be three against two and two against three, father against and son and son against father. They'll stand up and be one."	3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him,

Saying 17: The Divine Gift I'll give you what no human mind has ever thought. I will clothe thee with change of raiment - A fair mitre upon his head.   "Give me my price," Zechariah 11:12.  "Holiness to the Lord," Zechariah 14:20.
Jesus said, "I'll give you what no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, no hand has ever touched, and what no human mind has ever thought." See also 1 Corinthians 2:8-9, Isaiah 64:4, & Isaiah 65:17.)	3:4b saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 3:5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments.

Saying 18: Beginning and End Blessed is the one who will stand up in the beginning. The angel of the LORD stood by saying walk in my ways.
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us about our end. How will it come?" Jesus said, "Have you discovered the beginning so that you can look for the end? Because the end will be where the beginning is. Blessed is the one who will stand up in the beginning. They'll know the end, and won't taste death."	3:5b    And the angel of the LORD stood by. 3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 3:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

Saying 19: Five Trees in Paradise Jesus said, These stones are your servants; five trees in paradise. My servant the BRANCH... Behold the stone laid before Joshua.
Jesus said, "Blessed is the one who came into being before coming into being. If you become my disciples and listen to my message, these stones will become your servants; because there are five trees in paradise which don't change in summer or winter, and their leaves don't fall. Whoever knows them won't taste death."	3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. 3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Saying 20: The Parable of the Mustard Seed Like a plant so large that it shelters the birds of heaven. The fig tree & a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl on the top.

The disciples asked Jesus, "Tell us, what can the kingdom of heaven be compared to?" He said to them, "It can be compared to a mustard seed. Though it's the smallest of all the seeds, when it falls on tilled soil it makes a plant so large that it shelters the birds of heaven."

3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. 4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

Saying 21: The Parables of the Field, the Bandits, & the Reaper Lest the bandit invade the house. Give the field. The reaper comes. Not by might O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, become a plain.

Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are your disciples like?" He said, "They're like little   children living in a field which isn't theirs. When the owners of the field come, they'll say, 'Give our field back to us.' They'll strip naked in front of them to let them have it and give them their field. "So I say that if the owner of the house realizes the bandit is coming, they'll watch out beforehand and won't let the bandit break into the house of their domain and steal their possessions. You, then, watch out for the world! Prepare to defend yourself so that the bandits don't attack you, because what you're expecting will come. May there be a wise person among you! "When the fruit ripened, the reaper came quickly, sickle in hand, and harvested it. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"

4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4:4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 4:5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel   thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. (C.f Zerubbabel in Hebrew is Sown in Baylon.)

Saying 22: Making the Two into One Make the two, the male & the female into one, & enter the kingdom. This is the word of the LORD -  the right & the left of the candlestick of these two olive trees in this house.

Jesus saw some little children nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing children can be compared to those who enter the kingdom." They said to him, "Then we'll enter the kingdom as little children?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and so make the male and the female a single one so that the male won't be male nor the female female; when you make eyes in the place of an eye, a hand in the place of a hand, a foot in the place of a foot, and an image in the place of an image; then you'll enter [the kingdom]."

4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. 4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

Saying 23: Those Who are Chosen "I'll choose one and two and they'll stand as a single one." "These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD."
Jesus said, "I'll choose you, one out of a thousand and two out of ten thousand, and they'll stand as a single one."	4:13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 4:14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.

Saying 24: Light Light exists in a person of light & they shine on the whole world. Look, and behold a flying roll over the face of the whole earth
His disciples said, "Show us the place where you are, because we need to look for it." He said to them, "Anyone who has ears to hear should hear! Light exists within a person of light, and they light up the whole world. If they don't shine, there's darkness."	5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. 5:2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 5:3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth:

Saying 25: Love and Protect Love & Protect them. Every one shall be cut off.
Jesus said, "Love your brother as your own soul. Protect them like the pupil of your eye."	5:3b for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

Saying 26: Speck and Beam The beam & the speck: Get it out of your own eye. Timber & stones, I will bring it forth. Lift up now thine eyes.
Jesus said, "You see the speck that's in your brother's eye, but you don't see the beam in your own eye. When you get the beam out of your own eye, then you'll be able to see clearly to get the speck out of your brother's eye."	5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his  house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. 5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes,

Saying 27: Fasting and Sabbath Fast from the world. See the Father. This is an ephah [filled with the sin of] all the earth. See what this is.
"If you don't fast from the world, you won't find the kingdom. If you don't make the Sabbath into a Sabbath, you won't see the Father."	5:5b and see what is this that goeth forth. 5:6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. (C.f. An ephah - a basket for the measure of grain, flour, or meat - filled with iniquity.)

Saying 28: The World is Drunk I appeared to them & found them all drunk. They were blind. Behold, this is wickedness. I lifted up mine eyes.

Jesus said, "I stood in the middle of the world and appeared to them in the flesh. I found them all drunk; I didn't find any of them thirsty. My soul ached for the children of humanity, because they were blind in their hearts and couldn't see. They came into the world empty and plan on leaving the world empty. Meanwhile, they're drunk. When they shake off their wine, then they'll change."

5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 5:8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.

Saying 29: Spirit and Body Jesus said, "The spirit, body, & flesh. I'm amazed in this poverty. The angel said, "An house on a base." And I looked on the ephah.
Jesus said, "If the flesh came into existence because of spirit, that's amazing. If spirit came into existence because of the body, that's really amazing! But I'm amazed at how [such] great wealth has been placed in this poverty."	5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 5:11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be  established, and set there upon her own base. 6:1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked,

Saying 30: Divine Presence Where two they are without. Where one - I am with him. Two mountains [joined together] as brass.
Jesus said, "Where there are three deities, they're divine. Where there are two or one, I am with them." Alternate reading: Jesus said, Where there are two they are without God and where there is only one, I say, I am with him," Saying 30, Greek Manuscript.	6:1b  and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. (C.f. Brass is an alloy of two metals, copper and zinc, joined together into one. Jesus said, "When you make the two into one, you'll... say 'Mountain, go away!', it shall go, " Saying 106.)

Saying 31: Prophet and Doctor No prophet. No doctor. The chariot. The chariot.
Jesus said, "No prophet is welcome in their own village. No doctor heals those who know them." (C.f. Judgment in Dissension & Unity: Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man [the prophet & the doctor] to mount two horses," Saying 47.  Consider also Dissension & the color red - "Fire, sword, and war,"  Saying 16.)	6:2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 6:3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

Saying 32: The Parable of the Fortified City Jesus said, [The] "city... [that] can [not] be hidden." [And so it is asked], What are these?... & The angel answered
Jesus said, "A city built and fortified on a high mountain can't fall, nor can it be hidden."	6:4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?

Saying 33: The Parable of the Lamp Put it on the stand so everyone who comes & goes sees its light. Standing before the LORD of all the earth four spirits go forth.
Jesus said, "What you hear with one ear, listen to with both, then proclaim from your rooftops. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket or in a hidden place. Rather, they put it on the stand so that everyone who comes and goes can see its light."	6:5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the LORD of all the earth. 6:6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. 6:7 And the bay went forth,

Saying 34: The Parable of Those Who Can't See Someone who's blind leads into a pit. Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth.
Jesus said, "If someone who's blind leads someone else who's blind, both of them fall into a pit."	6:7b  and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

Saying 35: The Parable of Binding the Strong Break into the house of the strong & take it by force. Go toward the north country. Take of them of the captivity.
Jesus said, "No one can break into the house of the strong and take it by force without tying the hands of the strong. Then they can loot the house."	6:8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. 6:9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 6:10 Take of them of the captivity, (C.f. Quieted: Pacified or given rest.)

Saying 36: Anxiety Don't be anxious from evening to morning about what you'll wear. [Don't be] confused. The same day go into the house.
Jesus said, "Don't be anxious from morning to evening or from evening to morning about what you'll wear."	6:10b   even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon,  and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; (C.f. Babylon in Hebrew is "Confusion by mixing." Heldai in Hebrew is "Worldly.")

Saying 37: Seeing Jesus Throw your clothes on the ground. Then you will see the Son. Set crowns upon the head. Then behold the man.
His disciples said, " will you appear to us? When will we see you?" Jesus said, "When you strip naked without being ashamed, and throw your clothes on the ground and stomp on them as little children would, then [you will] see the Son of the Living One and won't be afraid."	6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

Saying 38: Finding Jesus You've wanted to hear this message that I'm telling you. The counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Jesus said, "Often you've wanted to hear this message that I'm telling you, and you don't have anyone else from whom to hear it. There will be days when you'll look for me, but you won't be able to find me."	6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

Saying 39: The Keys of Knowledge [Hiding] the keys of knowledge. They haven't let others enter. [But] ye shall know. They that are far off shall come.
Jesus said, "The Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and hidden them. They haven't entered, and haven't let others enter who wanted to. So be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."	6:14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 6:15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. (C.f. Jedaiah in (Hebrew is "Jehovah has known.")

Saying 40: A Grapevine A grapevine has been... it will be pulled up. This shall come to pass... it came to pass.
Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the Father. Since it's malnourished, it'll be pulled up by its root and destroyed."	6:15b  And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. 7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,

Saying 41: More and Less Whoever has something will be given more. The word of the LORD came to Zechariah.
Jesus said, "Whoever has something in hand will be given more, but whoever doesn't have anything will lose even what little they do have."	7:1b  that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu; 7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD, (C.f. Regemmelech in Hebrew is "King's heap." Chisleu in Hebrew is "His confidence.")

Saying 42: Passing By  "Become passers-by." The prophets - separating.
Jesus said, "Become passers-by."	7:3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?

Saying 43: The Tree and the Fruit I say to you, "Hate its fruit. Love the fruit." Speak to the people. Fast unto me. Ye eat & drink.
His disciples said to him, "Who are you to say these things to us?" "You don't realize who I am from what I say to you, but you've become like those Judeans who either love the tree but hate its fruit, or love the fruit but hate the tree."	7:4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, 7:5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? 7:6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

Saying 44: Blasphemy Whoever blasphemes will be forgiven [when] earth [&] heaven [unite]. The prophets cried the words when in Jerusalem & the plain.
Jesus said, "Whoever blasphemes the Father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes the Son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, neither on earth nor in heaven."	7:7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?

Saying 45: Good and Evil A good person brings out of their treasure good things. Every man saying the word executes true judgment.
Jesus said, "Grapes aren't harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, because they don't produce fruit. [A person who's good] brings good things out of their treasure, and a person who's [evil] brings evil things out of their evil treasure. They say evil things because their heart is full of evil."	7:8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, 7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: (C.f. Zechariah - Hebrew: Jehovah remembers.)

Saying 46: Greater than John the Baptizer From Adam to John the Baptizer become greater. The fatherless, the poor... oppress not.
Jesus said, "From Adam to John the Baptizer, no one's been born who's so much greater than John the Baptizer that they shouldn't avert their eyes. But I say that whoever among you will become a little child will know the kingdom and become greater than John."	7:10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Saying 47: The Parables of Divided Loyalties, New Wine in Old Wineskins, and New Patch on Old Cloth Drink new wine. It's not possible to follow old wine in old wineskins. Hear his spirit... Lest they [only] hear the law by the former prophets.

Jesus said, "It's not possible for anyone to mount two horses or stretch two bows, and it's not possible for a servant to follow two leaders, because they'll respect one and despise the other. "No one drinks old wine and immediately wants to drink new wine. And new wine isn't put in old wineskins, because they'd burst. Nor is old wine put in new wineskins, because it'd spoil. "A new patch of cloth isn't sewn onto an old coat, because it'd tear apart."

7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: 7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

Saying 48: Unity Making peace with each other the two say to the mountain "Go away" With great jealousy the word came to me [concerning] Zion
Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in a single house, they'll say to the mountain, 'Go away,' and it will."	8:1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 8:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

Saying 49: Those Who Are Chosen "Those who are one who are chosen will return to the kingdom. I am returned & Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth.
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are one – those who are chosen, because you'll find the kingdom. You've come from there and will return there."	8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

Saying 50: Our Origin and Identity We are its children & we're chosen by our living Father Boys and girls playing, & the remnant saith the LORD of hosts

Jesus said, "If they ask you, 'Where do you come from?' tell them, 'We've come from the light, the place where light came into being by itself, [established] itself, and appeared in their image.' "If they ask you, 'Is it you?' then say, 'We are its children, and we're chosen by our living Father.' "If they ask you, 'What's the sign of your Father in you?' then say, 'It's movement and rest.'"

8:4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. 8:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. 8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts;

Saying 51: The New World What you're looking for has come. The dead have rest. Behold, I will bring them. I will save.
His disciples said to him, "When will the dead have rest, and when will the new world come?" He said to them, "What you're looking for has already come, but you don't know it."	8:7b Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; 8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Let your hands be strong, ye that hear

Saying 52: Twenty-Four Prophets Prophets have spoken in Israel but the Living One is in front of you. The Words of the prophets in the house of the LORD.

His disciples said to him, "Twenty-four prophets have spoken in Israel, and they all spoke of you." He said to them, "You've ignored the Living One right in front of you, and you've talked about those who are dead."

8:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts;   in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. 8:10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

Saying 53: True Circumcision The true circumcision in spirit have children & become profitable. The vine shall give her fruit & the seed shall be prosperous.
His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision useful, or not?" He said to them, "If it were useful, parents would have children who are born circumcised. But the true circumcision in spirit has become profitable in every way."	8:11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. 8:12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase,

Saying 54: Those Who Are Poor "Blessed are those who are poor. Yours is the kingdom of heaven." I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
Jesus said, "Blessed are  those who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven."	8:12b   and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

Saying 55: Discipleship Become my disciple, and Take up the cross like I do. Ye shall be a blessing, but Let your hands be strong.
Jesus said, "Whoever doesn't hate their father and mother can't become my disciple, and whoever doesn't hate their brothers and sisters and take up their cross like I do isn't worthy of me."	8:13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of  Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. 8:14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:

Saying 56: The World is a Corpse Whoever has known the world has found a corpse. I thought to do well to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Jesus said, "Whoever has known the world has found a corpse. Whoever has found a corpse, of them the world isn't worthy."	8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

Saying 57: The Parable of the Weeds In my Fathers' kingdom - the weeds will be pulled out & burned. In your hearts - evil imaginations are things that I hate.
Jesus said, "My Fathers' kingdom can be compared to someone who had [good] seed. Their enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The person didn't let anyone pull out the weeds, 'so that you don't pull out the wheat along with the weeds,' they said to them. 'On the day of the harvest, the weeds will be obvious. Then they'll be pulled out and burned.'"	8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. 8:18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, 8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth,

Saying 58: Finding Life Blessed is the person going to a lot of trouble. They've found life. Joy & gladness to the house of Judah. So love truth & peace.
Jesus said, "Blessed is the person who's gone to a lot of trouble. They've found life." (C.f. A True Fast: Isaiah 58:5,7.)	8:19b   and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

Saying 59: The Living One Look for the Living One while you're alive or you won't be able. Let us go pray to the LORD. It comes to pass for the inhabitants.
Jesus said, "Look for the Living One while you're still alive. If you die and then try to look for him, you won't be able to."	8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 8:21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD,

Saying 60: Don't Become a Corpse A Samaritan was carrying a lamb to Judea. Look for a resting place. The burden of strong nations coming to seek the LORD in Jerusalem.

They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb to Judea. He said to his disciples, "What do you think he's going to do with that lamb?" They said to him, "He's going to kill it and eat it." He said to them, "While it's living, he won't eat it, but only after he kills it and it becomes a corpse." They said, "He can't do it any other way." He said to them, "You, too, look for a resting place, so that you won't become a corpse and be eaten."

8:21b   and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. 9:1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach,

Saying 61: Jesus and Salome Two will rest. One will die. Who are you? I'm one existing in equality. Damascus shall rest. As for Tyrus, the LORD shall devour with fire.

Jesus said, "Two will rest on a couch. One will die, the other will live." Salome said, "Who are you, Sir, to climb onto my couch and eat off my table as if you're from someone?" Jesus said to her, "I'm the one who exists in equality [or an undivided complete fulness]. Some of what belongs to my Father was given to me." "I'm your disciple." "So I'm telling you, if someone is [destroyed and reunited], they'll be full of light; but if they're divided, they'll be full of darkness." (C.f. Destroyed and reunited - See Mark M. Mattison's footnote on Equality in Saying 61.)

9:1 and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD. 9:2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. 9:3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 9:4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 9:5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. (C.f. Rest: Damascus in Hebrew is "the sackcloth weaver," Zechariah 9:1.)

Saying 62: Mysteries I tell mysteries. Don't let your left know what your right is doing. Abominations out of his mouth in Ashdod. I will cut off the Philistines.
Jesus said, "I tell my mysteries to those who are worthy of my mysteries. Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."	9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 9:7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: (C.f. Ashdod = A fortified or walled castle or city. A wall divides. Put the sword through the wall, Saying 98. The Mystery - Make the two into one, Sayings 22, and 106. A bastard - Saying 105.)

Saying 63: The Parable of the Rich Fool A rich man said 'I'll use money, fill my barns, & reap, but he died. He as a governor even in Ekron. I about mine house for passers-by.
Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I'll use my money to sow, reap, plant, and fill my barns with fruit, so that I won't need anything.' That's what he was thinking to himself, but he died that very night. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!" (C.f.  "Become Passers-by," Saying 42.)	9:7b  but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. 9:8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes. (C.f. Ekron = "Torn up by the roots" or Reaped.)

Saying 64: The Parable of the Dinner Party Someone is having guests. They're coming so they can have dinner. Thy King having salvation comes. Great is his goodness. Be filled.

Jesus said, "Someone was planning on having guests. When dinner was ready, they sent their servant to call the visitors. "The servant went to the first and said, 'My master invites you.' "They said, 'Some merchants owe me money. They're coming tonight. I need to go and give them instructions. Excuse me from the dinner.' "The servant went to another one and said, 'My master invites you.' "They said, "I've just bought a house and am needed for the day. I won't have time.' "The servant went to another one and said, 'My master invites you.' "They said, 'My friend is getting married and I'm going to make dinner. I can't come. Excuse me from the dinner.' "The servant went to another one and said, 'My master invites you.' "They said, "I've just bought a farm and am going to collect the rent. I can't come. Excuse me.' "The servant went back and told the master, 'The ones you've invited to the dinner have excused themselves.' "The master said to their servant, 'Go out to the roads and bring whomever you find so that they can have dinner.' "Buyers and merchants won't [enter] the places of my Father."

9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. 9:11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 9:12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; 9:13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 9:14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.  9:17 For how great is his goodness,

Saying 65: The Parable of the Sharecroppers "A creditor in a vineyard. He sent his servant. Sharecroppers killed. The LORD in the field. The men went away. The oppressor battles.

He said, "A [creditor] owned a vineyard. He leased it out to some sharecroppers to work it so he could collect its fruit. "He sent his servant so that the sharecroppers could give him the fruit of the vineyard. They seized his servant, beat him, and nearly killed him. "The servant went back and told his master. His master said, 'Maybe he just didn't know them.' He sent another servant, but the tenants beat that one too. "Then the master sent his son, thinking, 'Maybe they'll show some respect to my son.' "Because they knew that he was the heir of the vineyard, the sharecroppers seized and killed him. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"

9:17b  and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. 10:2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 10:4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

Saying 66: The Rejected Cornerstone Show me the stone the builders rejected. The riders on horses shall be confounded by the LORD.
Jesus said, "Show me the stone the builders rejected; that's the cornerstone."	10:5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

Saying 67: Knowing Isn't Everything Whoever knows the all, but is personally lacking, lacks everything. I am the LORD, and I will strengthen, and have mercy.
Jesus said, "Whoever knows the all, (or everything), but is personally lacking, lacks everything." (C.f. Jesus  said, "I am the all," Saying 77.)	10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

Saying 68: Persecution Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Be like a mighty man. Be glad; & their heart shall rejoice
Jesus said, "Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted, and no place will be found where you've been persecuted."	10:7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through  wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. (C.f. Ephraim in Hebrew = doubly fruitful.)

Saying 69: Those Who Are Persecuted The persecuted have known the Father that they may be filled. I will hiss for them. I have redeemed them. They shall increase.
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who've been persecuted in their own hearts. They've truly known the Father. Blessed are those who are hungry, so that their stomachs may be filled."	10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. (C.f. Hiss in Hebrew = scorn.)

Saying 70: Salvation is Within What you have will save you. Give birth to what's within you. I will bring them out of Egypt. They shall live with their children.
Jesus said, "If you give birth to what's within you, what you have within you will save you. If you don't have that within [you], what you have don't within you [will] kill you."	10:9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again. 10:10 I will bring them again also the land of out of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria;

Saying 71: Destroying the Temple I will destroy this house. He shall smite. Land and place shall not be found for them.
Jesus said, "I will destroy [this] house, and no one will be able to build it […]" (C.f. "The son of man has no place to lay his head," Thomas 86. And "they shall find no place, Thomas 68.)	10:10b  and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. 10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea,

Saying 72: Not a Divider Tell my brothers to divide. . He turned & said, "Am I a divider? The sceptre will depart away. They'll walk up & down saith the LORD.
[Someone said to him], "Tell my brothers to divide our inheritance with me." He said to him, "Who made me a divider?" He turned to his disciples and said to them, "Am I really a divider?"	10:11b   and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. 10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.

Saying 73: Workers for the Harvest Pray that the Lord will send workers. The harvest is plentiful. Howl & open thy doors. The dense forest is come.
Jesus said, "The harvest really is plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray that the Lord will send workers to the harvest." (C.f. Jesus said, "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?... look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest," John 4:35.)	11:1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 11:2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down. (C.f. Lebanon  in Hebrew is Whiteness.)

Saying 74: The Empty Well There's nothing to drink. There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds.
He said, "Lord, many are gathered around the well, but there's nothing to drink." (C.f. Jesus said, "Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me," Saying 108.)	11:3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

Saying 75: The Bridal Chamber Jesus said, "Those who are one will enter the bridal chamber." Thus saith the LORD my God; "Feed the flock"
Jesus said, "Many are waiting at the door, but those who are one will enter the bridal chamber."	11:4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 11:5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty:

Saying 76: The Parable of the Pearl "The kingdom is like a merchant. He sold & looked for the treasure. The king's hand feeds the poor of the flock. The seller says I am rich.

Jesus said, "The Father's kingdom can be compared to a merchant with merchandise who found a pearl. The merchant was wise; they sold their merchandise and bought that single pearl for themselves. "You, too, look for the treasure that doesn't perish but endures, where no moths come to eat and no worms destroy."

11:5b   and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. 11:6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. 11:7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock.

Saying 77: Jesus is the All Split a log; I'm there. You'll find me. I am the All. All returns to me.  I took two staves called Favour & Union. And I fed the flock.
Jesus said, "I'm the light that's over all. I am the All. The All has come from me and unfolds toward (or returns to) me. "Split a log; I'm there. Lift the stone, and you'll find me there."	11:7b   And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty (or Favour), and the other I called Bands (or Union); and I fed the flock. 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

Saying 78: Into the Desert Like a reed shaken by the wind? They can't know the truth. I will not feed you. My staff is cut asunder, breaking my covenant.
Jesus said, "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? A [person] wearing fancy clothes, [like your] rulers and powerful people? They (wear) fancy [clothes], but can't know the truth."	11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. (C.f. My staff cut asunder - Jesus said, "Split a log; I'm there," Saying 77.)

Saying 79: Listening to the Message Blessed are the breasts that haven't given milk.'" Those who have listened to the message of the Father have kept it. If ye think good, give me my price. Yet the poor of the flock knew that it was the word of the LORD.
A woman in the crowd said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that nourished you." He said to [her], "Blessed are those who have listened to the message of the Father and kept it, because there will be days when you'll say, 'Blessed is the womb that didn't conceive and the breasts that haven't given milk.'" (C.f.  "Thirty pieces of silver," Matthew 26:15.)	11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD. 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it  unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them.

Saying 80: The World is a Body He who has known the world found the body. The world isn't worthy.  Israel cut asunder in the house of the LORD with pieces of silver.
Jesus said, "Whoever has known the world has found the body; but whoever has found the body, of them the world isn't worthy."	11:13b   And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. 11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

Saying 81: Riches and Renunciation He who has riches should rule. He who has power should renounce. Take to thee a foolish shepherd & I will raise up those that be cut off.
Jesus said, "Whoever has become rich should become a ruler, and whoever has power should renounce it."	11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one,

Saying 82: Jesus and Fire Whoever is far from me is far from the kingdom. Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock.
Jesus said, "Whoever is near me is near the fire, and whoever is far from me is far from the kingdom."	11:16b   nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm,

Saying 83: Light and Images Jesus said, "Images are revealed to people, but light is hidden in the image of the Father's light. The word of the LORD for Israel: His right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Jesus said, "Images are revealed to people, but the light within them is hidden in the image of the Father's light. He'll be revealed, but his image will be hidden by his light."	11:17b   and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel,

Saying 84: Our Previous Images Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, & your images.  The LORD saith, When they behold a cup, & the spirit of man.
Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images that came into being before you did – which don't die, and aren't revealed – how much you'll have to bear!"	12:1b   saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

Saying 85: Adam Wasn't Worthy Adam is from power, but not worthy. The worthy wouldn't  taste death.  Though people are gathered together, the burdened are cut in pieces.
Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power and great wealth, but he didn't become worthy of you. If he had been worthy, [he wouldn't have tasted] death."	12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Saying 86: Foxes and Birds Foxes have dens, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest. I will smite every horse. The LORD says open mine eyes on the house.
Jesus said, "The foxes [have dens] and the birds have nests, but the Son of Humanity has nowhere to lay his head and rest."	12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite with every horse astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah,   (C.f. Open eyes & Astonished in Thomas. Jesus said, "Whoever seeks shouldn't stop until they find. When they find, they'll be disturbed. When they're disturbed, they'll be astonished, and reign over the All," Saying 2.)

Saying 87: Body and Soul How miserable is the body or the soul that depends on both ? Should blindness in the heart of the people be my strength ?
Jesus said, "How miserable is the body that depends on a body, and how miserable is the soul that depends on both."	12:4b   and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

Saying 88: Angels and Prophets Angels & prophets take what is theirs. Give what you have. A torch of fire & an hearth shall devour. In her own place is Jerusalem
Jesus said, "The angels and the prophets will come to you and give you what belongs to you. You'll give them what you have and ask yourselves, 'When will they come and take what is theirs?'" (C.f. "Of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire," Hebrews 1:7.)	12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

Saying 89: Inside and Outside Jesus said, Wash the outside of the cup & the inside. The LORD saves the tents & the glory of the house & the inhabitants.
Jesus said, "Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Don't you know that whoever created the inside created the outside too?"	12:7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. (C.f. The house in Hebrew means "within". The tents in Hebrew is "the covering".)

Saying 90: Jesus' Yoke is Easy Jesus said, "Come to me, my yoke is easy. You'll be refreshed." The LORD defends. He that is feeble among them shall be as David.
Jesus said, "Come to me, because my yoke is easy and my requirements are light. You'll be refreshed." (C.f. Be joined with the king, together as one, in the Yoke.)	12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. (C.f. David in Hebrew is "Beloved.")

Saying 91: Reading the Signs Tell us who you are. You can read the sky & earth, but not the present. Supply grace. In that day I will pour upon the house of David spirit.
They said to him, "Tell us who you are so that we may trust you." He said to them, "You read the face of the sky and the earth, but you don't know the one right in front of you, and you don't know how to read the present moment."	12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications:

Saying 92: Look and Find Jesus said, "Look & you'll find. But now you aren't looking. That day they shall look on me whom they have pierced his only son.
Jesus said, "Look and you'll find. I didn't answer your questions before. Now I want to give you answers, but you aren't looking for them."	12:10b    and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, (C.f. Of Jesus, it is written, "They shall look on him whom they pierced," John 19:37.)

Saying 93: Don't Throw Pearls to Pigs Don't give what's holy to the dogs, or it's thrown on the manure pile. The land in the valley of Megiddon shall mourn the house of David.
"Don't give what's holy to the dogs, or else it might be thrown on the manure pile. Don't throw pearls to the pigs, or else they might …" [trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you,]"  Matthew 7:6.	12:11b   as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; (C.f. Megiddon in Hebrew is "a place of crowds." Hadadrimmon in Hebrew is connected to royalty.)

Saying 94: Knock and It Will Be Opened "Whoever looks will find, & whoever knocks, the door will be opened." The family of the house of Levi [is to be alone or] apart.
Jesus [said], "Whoever looks will find, [and whoever knocks], it [the door] will be opened for them." (C.f. Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber," Saying 75.)	12:13 The family of the house of Levi  apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; (C.f. Levi in Hebrew is "be joined to" or "attached". Apart is to be alone - solitary.)

Saying 95: Giving Money If you have money, give it to someone. Mourn for all the families apart. A fountain shall be opened.
[Jesus said], "If you have money, don't lend it at interest. Instead, give  [it to] someone from whom you won't get it back."	12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart. 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened

Saying 96: The Parable of the Yeast The Father's kingdom is like a woman who took a little yeast. To the house of David & Jerusalem for the sin & uncleanness.
Jesus [said], "The Father's kingdom can be compared to a woman who took a little yeast and [hid] it in flour. She made it into large loaves of bread. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"	13:1b  to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets

Saying 97: The Parable of the Jar of Flour Father's kingdom is as a woman with a problem walking on a road. His father & mother shall say lies. Pass out of the land.
Jesus said, "The Father's kingdom can be compared to a woman carrying a jar of flour. While she was walking down [a] long road, the jar's handle broke and the flour spilled out behind her on the road. She didn't know it, and didn't realize there was a problem until she got home, put down the jar, and found it empty." (Note: A jar's handle can look like a person's ear.)	13:2b   and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. 13:3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD:

Saying 98: The Parable of the Assassin The Father's kingdom is as a man wanting to kill someone powerful. His father shall thrust the [false] prophet through.
Jesus said, "The Father's kingdom can be compared to a man who wanted to kill someone powerful. He drew his sword in his house and drove it into the wall to figure out whether his hand was strong enough. Then he killed the powerful one."	13:3 and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. 13:4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: 13:5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

Saying 99: Jesus' True Family Saith the LORD of hosts: Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. He said to them, "The people here who do the will of my Father are my brothers."

The disciples said to him, "Your brothers and mother are standing outside." He said to them, "The people here who do the will of my Father are my brothers and mother; they're the ones who will enter my Father's kingdom." (C.f. "What are these wounds in thine hands?" Zechariah 13:6. See Thomas "standing outside" in John 20:24-27.)

13:6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. (C.f.  "And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered." Mark 14:27. See also Matthew 26:31.)

Saying 100: Give to Caesar What Belongs to Caesar They showed Jesus a gold coin. "Give to Caesar, & to God, & to me." Give gold in two ways; to God & [men], but I say, the third is my people

They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to him, "Caesar's men demand tribute from us." He said to them, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give to God what belongs to God, and give to me what belongs to me." (C.f.  The image of God and Caesar on the coin, but the refined gold like the disciples of Jesus.)

13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the  land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Saying 101: Discipleship He who doesn't hate his mother isn't a disciple. But a true Mother gives. All nations will be against Jerusalem & the city shall be taken.
"Whoever doesn't hate their [father] and mother as I do can't become my [disciple], and whoever [doesn't] love their [father] and mother as I do can't become my [disciple]. For my mother [gave me falsehood], but [my] true [Mother] gave me Life."	14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Saying 102: The Dog in the Feeding Trough The Pharisees are like a dog sleeping in a feeding trough. On his feet the LORD shall stand on the mount against those nations.
Jesus said, "How awful for the Pharisees who are like a dog sleeping in a feeding trough for cattle, because the dog doesn't eat, and [doesn't let] the cattle eat either."	14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,

Saying 103: The Parable of the Bandits Where the bandits enter assemble defenses before they arrive. The mount of Olives shall cleave in a great valley. Flee to the valley.
Jesus said, "Blessed is the one who knows where the bandits are going to enter. [They can] get up to assemble their defenses and be prepared to defend themselves before they arrive."	14:4b   which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;

Saying 104: Prayer and Fasting Come, let's pray and fast today." Jesus said, Have I failed? Come, & all the saints with thee in the days of king Uzziah
They said to [Jesus], "Come, let's pray and fast today." Jesus said, "What have I done wrong? Have I failed? "Rather, when the groom leaves the bridal chamber, then people should fast and pray."	14:5b   for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall  come, and all the saints with thee. 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: (C.f. King Uzziah's failure - burning incense - 2 Chronicles 26:16-20.)

Saying 105: Knowing Father and Mother Whoever knows their father. Be known to the LORD.
Jesus said, "Whoever knows their father and mother will be called a bastard."	14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

Saying 106: Unity When two become one - Children. If you say, 'go', it shall go. In that day half & half & One shall be King. The living waters shall go
Jesus said, "When you make the two into one, you'll become Children of Humanity [or sons of man], and if you say 'Mountain, go away!', it shall go."	14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Saying 107: The Parable of the Lost Sheep A kingdom sheep strayed troubling the shepherd. He said, "I love you." Jerusalem,  Benjamin,  Rimmon, & Hananeel
Jesus said, "The kingdom can be compared to a shepherd who  a hundred sheep. strayed. He left the ninety-nine and looked for The largest one that one until he found it. Having gone through the trouble, he said to the sheep: 'I love you more than the ninety-nine.'"	14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba [hill] to Rimmon [a Syrian god of storms] south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's [Son of the right hand] gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel [God has favoured]

Saying 108: Becoming Like Jesus Drink from my mouth. Become like me & I become like you. The king has winepresses. Be safely inhabited & dwell within it.
Jesus said, "Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me, and I myself will become like them; then, what's hidden will be revealed to them." (C.f. The hidden revelation, the Mystery of Christ,  "this mystery... which is Christ in you," Colossians 1: 27. See also Ephesians 1:9-10.)	14:10b   unto the king's winepresses. 14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

Saying 109: The Parable of the Hidden Treasure The kingdom is as a dead man's treasure lent out at interest. Smitten people fought Jerusalem. They lay hold on their neighbour.

Jesus said, "The kingdom can be compared to someone who had a treasure [hidden] in their field. [They] didn't know about it. After they died, they left it to their son. The son didn't know it either. He took the field and sold it. "The buyer plowed the field, [found] the treasure, and began to loan money at interest to whomever they wanted."

14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

Saying 110: Riches and Renunciation He who has found the world & become rich may renounce the world. Gathered together are all the heathen and the wealth at Jerusalem
Jesus said, "Whoever has found the world and become rich should renounce the world."	14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

Saying 111: Those Who are Living Won't Die Heavens & Earth roll up. He who lives from the Living won't see death. In tents & beasts be the plague. Every one goes to worship the King
Jesus said, "The heavens and the earth will roll up in front of you, and whoever lives from the Living One won't see death." Doesn't Jesus say, "Whoever finds themselves, of them the world isn't worthy"?	14:15 And so shall be the plague of the  horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to  keep the feast of tabernacles.

Saying 112: Flesh and Soul Jesus said, "Woe to flesh or soul depending on flesh or soul." Whoso will not worship the King upon them shall be no rain.
Jesus said, "How awful for the flesh that depends on the soul. How awful for the soul that depends on the flesh."	14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not  come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

Saying 113: The Kingdom is Already Present The Father's kingdom is spread over the earth & people don't see it. Heathen of nations come not up to the LORD's feast of tabernacles
His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?" "It won't come by looking for it. They won't say, 'Look over here!' or 'Look over there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is already spread out over the earth, and people don't see it."	14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Saying 114: Peter and Mary Not worthy? Be a living spirit. Women made Man enter the kingdom. HOLINESS? No Canaanite, but pots in the house of the LORD of hosts

Simon Peter said to them, "Mary should leave us, because women aren't worthy of life." Jesus said, "Look, am I to make her a man? So that she may become a living spirit too, she's equal to you men, because every woman who makes herself manly will enter the kingdom of heaven."

14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
