Saying 37: Seeing Jesus

His disciples said, "When 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'll] see the Son of the Living One and won't be afraid."

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."

Saying 34: The Parable of Those Who Can't See

Jesus said, "If someone who's blind leads someone else who's blind, both of them fall into a pit."

Saying 35: The Parable of Binding the Strong

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."

 tsisa hinegise, "tlagiloi yeliquase ayogi galitsode nahnai nulinigvgvhi yvwi ale agisdi nasgine gasadoyasdi gvdodi nutloyasdvna igvyi dakanete uwoyenidine nulinigvgvhi yvwi vhnai. gila nasgidv yeliquase usiwasgisdi galitsodine.

Saying 36: Anxiety

Jesus said, "Don't be anxious from morning to evening or from evening to morning about what you'll wear."

 tsisa hinegise, "tla gesvu owanvgv sunalei nidvlenvda svhiyeyi didla ale svhiyeyi nidvlenvda sunalei didla gado aniyelvsgv nihi dunuwose."

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.

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."

tsisa hinegise, "gado na nihi advgase saquu galeni gvdodi, hadvdasdu igvla gvdodi, gila hinegu asdaye nihi galvladi hananidi nidvlenvda. tlagiloi atsvsdigisdase atsvsdadine ale wadiyase nasgine talutsa hawinaditlv ale hanani adisgalodita hawina. aseno nasgidv wadiyase nasgine gadogumo nahna, hia-iyv nigadv na nvlase ale anagisdase yelquase gowati nasgihi ulvsadane."

Saying 28: The World is Drunk

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."

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]."
