' The Gospel of Thomas '...

Translated by Stephen J. Patterson and James M. Robinson*

These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke.

And Didymos Judas Thomas wrote them down.

(1) And he said: “Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death.”

(2) Jesus says:
(1) “The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds.
(2) And when he finds, he will be dismayed.
(3) And when he is dismayed, he will be astonished.
(4) And he will be king over the All.”
