These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Judas Thomas the Twin wrote down.
1 And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."
2 Jesus said, "Let one who seeks not stop seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be troubled. When he is troubled, he will be astonished and will rule over all."
3 Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the Kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are poverty."
4 Jesus said, "The man old in days won't hesitate to ask a little child seven days old about the place of life, and that person will live. For many of the first will be last, and will become a single one."
5 Jesus said, "Know what is before your eyes, and the mysterious will be revealed to you. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed."
