LG53 Are you good enough?
His students told him:
Is circumcision useful or not?
He told them:
If she was useful, their father would already beget them circumcised from their mother.
But the true circumcision in the spirit,
it is certainly useful.
LG52 We are the earth ourselves
His students told him:
Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel,
and all spoke through you.
He told them:
You ignore the living person who is in front of you,
and you talk about the dead.
LG51 The new earth is already there
His students asked him:
When will the dead find rest
and when will the new earth come?
He told them:
What you expect has already come,
but you don’t recognize it.
LG50 A movement and a rest
Jesus said:
If they ask you: Where are you from?
say then: We have come from the light,
from where the light originated from itself.
It has risen and revealed itself in their image.
If they say: Who are you?
then say: We are his children
and the elect of the living father.
If they ask:
What is the sign of the father who is in you?
then say: It is a movement and a rest.
LG49 One with the One as a whole person
Jesus said:
Blessed are the loners
and the chosen ones,
for you will discover the kingdom.
That’s where you come from
and you return there.
LG48 Make peace as two
Jesus said:
When two make peace with each other in one house,
they will say to the mountain: go away,
and he will go.
LG47 Jesus breaks with the Old Testament
Jesus said:
One cannot ride two horses,
neither stretch two arches.
And a servant cannot serve two masters,
otherwise he honors one and despises the other.
Nobody drinks old wine and immediately craves for new wine.
And they don’t pour new wine into old bags,
because then they burst.
Nor do you pour old wine into a new bag,
because that will spoil the bag.
People don’t sew an old piece of cloth on a new rug,
because then a crack will arise.
LG46 The child in you is the most important
Jesus said:
Among those born of a woman,
from Adam to John the Baptist,
there is nobody against whom John the Baptist
should look up.
But I said
who of you will become like a child,
will know the kingdom,
and he will be higher than John.
LG45 keeping up appearances hurts
Jesus said:
They do not harvest grapes from thorns
and figs not from thistles,
for they bear no fruit.
A good person brings out of his treasure room
the good.
A bad man brings out of his bad treasure room,
who is his thinking,
the evil forth,
and he says evil things.
Because what his thinking is full of
from it he produces evil.
