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 97

Jesus said: “The kingdom of the Father is like a woman carrying a jar full of meal, walking a long road. The ear of the jar broke, and the meal poured out behind her along the road.

She did not know it. She had felt no trouble. When she got home she set the jar down and found it empty.”
