Thomas 78-79

78 Jesus said, "Why have you come out to the countryside? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a person dressed in fine clothing, [like your] rulers and your powerful men? They are dressed in fine clothing, and they cannot understand truth."
79 A woman in the crowd said to him, "Blessed are the womb that bore you and the breasts that nourished you."
He said to [her], "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the Father and have truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb that has not conceived and the breasts that have not given milk.'"
