Our souls are enflamed

שאף אחד לא יהיה עירום,

כדי שאוכל להתלבש.

Translator's Note: Saying 36 is extant in two versions: the one I've given above, which is the shorter and is the one found in the Coptic text; and a longer. older, fragmentary Greek version, known as P. Oxy. 655 (which depends upon modern reconstructions to make it complete). April D. DeConick, whom I consider to be the world's foremost GTh scholar at present, has shown how the longer, Greek version of Logion 36 came to be replaced by the short version after the accretion of Logion 37 (which also has to do with clothing), in order to avoid the appearance of a contradiction between the two Logia. I have stayed with the version in the Coptic text, since it is in excellent condition and requires no modern, hypothetical reconstructions. An interesting point though, brought out by DeConick and by Guillaumont before her, is that the phrase "from morning until evening and from evening until morning" is a Semitic idiom, meaning "continuously." DeConick points to examples at Ex. 18:13 and 27:21. All of this goes to show that, while the Greek version predated the Coptic one, there was, in all probability, an even older text in Aramaic or Hebrew. I wish we had that older text, but perhaps one day we can do the next best thing by translating GTh back into one of those Semitic languages. I'm sure that it would be quite illuminating.

He took him aside and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked, "What did Jesus say to you?"

Saying 8: The Parable of the Fish

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!"

Saying 9: The Parable of the Sower

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."

Saying 4: First and Last

Jesus said, "The older person won't hesitate to ask a little seven-day-old child about the place of life, and they'll live, because many who are first will be last, and they'll become one."

Saying 5: Hidden and Revealed

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."

Saying 6: Public Ritual

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."
