Saying 101

"Whoever does not hate their father and mother as I do cannot become my disciple. And whoever does not love their father and mother as I do cannot become my disciple. For my mother made me to die, but my true mother gave me life."

Saying 102

"Wretched are the Pharisees. They are like the dog lying in the cow's manger. He cannot eat and will not let the cows eat."

Saying 103

"Blessed are they who know at what time of night the thieves will come. They will be awake, gathering their strength and strapping on their belts before the thieves arrive."

Saying 104

They said to him, "Come let us pray and fast today." Yeshua answered, "What wrong have I done? How have I been defeated? When the bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber, that will be the time to fast and pray."

Saying 105

"He who knows his father and his mother, will they call him the son of a whore?"

Saying 106

"When you make the two into one, you will be a son of man. And when you say, Mountain, move, it will move."

Saying 107

"The kingdom is like the shepherd with a hundred sheep. One of them disappeared. It was the most beautiful. The shepherd left the other ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it. After his great effort, he said to the lamb, I love you more than the other ninety-nine."

Saying 108

"Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me, and I will become them. And what was hidden from them will be revealed."

Saying 109

"The kingdom is like the man who had a hidden treasure in his field. He did not know it was there. When he died, he left the field to his son, who knew nothing and sold the field. The buyer came to plow the field and found the treasure while working. He began to lend money with interest to all who wanted it."

Saying 110

"Whoever has found the world and become wealthy, may they renounce the world."

Saying 111

"The heavens and the earth will roll up before you. The living who come from the living will know neither fear nor death. For it is said, Whoever has self-knowledge, the world cannot contain them."

Saying 112

"Wretched is the flesh that depends on the soul. Wretched is the soul that depends on the flesh."

Saying 113

"When will the kingdom come?" Yeshua answered, "It will not come by watching for it. No one will be saying, Look, here it is, or Look, there it is. The kingdom of the Father is spread out over the whole earth, and people do not see it."

Saying 114

Simon Peter said to him, "Mary should leave us, for women are not worthy of the life." Yeshua answered, "This is how I will guide her so that she becomes man. She too will become a living breath like you men. Any woman who makes herself a man will enter into the kingdom of God."

A QUESTION TO CARRY

How do you approach difficult language while keeping every person’s dignity central?

Read, interpret, and give another person room to answer.

Babylon is offered in devotion to the Father and Yeshua. Every person is sovereign. The reading is presented for study; the learner keeps their own judgement, dignity, and freedom of choice.
