The Gospel of Thomas

[Oracle] [Nag Hammadi II,2] [LNV, from the Coptic]

A hundred and fourteen sayings, with no story around them and no order to follow. Thomas does not explain — it hands you a thing and stops. Which is why it takes to being met one line at a time.

From the LNV rendering, made from the Coptic of Nag Hammadi Codex II. Turn the saying over to see the Coptic behind it and what the reading turns on.

Saying 37

His students said: “On what day will you appear to us? And on what day will we see you?”

Jesus said: “When you strip yourselves naked without being ashamed, and take your garments and lay them under your feet like little children, and trample on them — then you will see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid.”
