The Acts of Thomas
ActThom
[1]AMEN, amen, I say to you, Whosoever entereth not by the door into the fold of the flock, but ascendeth by another place, he is a thief and a robber. [No book]
[2]But he who entereth by the door, he is the shepherd of the flock. [No book]
[3]And to him the keeper of the gate openeth the gate, and the flock heareth his voice, and his sheep he calleth by their names, and he leadeth them forth; [No book]
[4]And when his flock hath gone forth, he goeth before it, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice. [No book]
[5]But after a stranger the flock goeth not, but it fleeth from him; for it knoweth not the voice of a stranger. [No book]
[6]This parable spake Jeshu to them, but they knew not what he said with them. [No book]
[7]Jeshu saith to them again, Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate of the flock; [No book]
[8]And all those who have come were thieves and robbers, but the flock heard them not. [No book]
[9]I am the gate; by me if any man enter, he shall live and shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. [No book]
[10]The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that which is more. [No book]
[11]I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd his life layeth down for his flock. [No book]
[12]The hireling who is not the shepherd, and whose the sheep are not, when he seeth the wolf coming, leaveth the flock and fleeth; and the wolf cometh ravaging and destroying the flock. [No book]
[13]But the hireling fleeth because he is an hireling, and careth not for the flock. [No book]
[14]I am the good shepherd, and know my own, and am known of my own. [No book]
[15]As my Father knoweth me [and] I know my Father, and my life I lay down for the flock. [No book]
[16]But I have other sheep also which are not of this fold; and these also it behoveth me to bring, and they will hear my voice, and all shall become one flock and one shepherd. [No book]
[17]On this account my Father loveth me, because I lay down my life again to take it. [No book]
[18]No man taketh it away from me, but I lay it down from my will; for I am able to lay it down, and I am able to take it again; for this commandment have I received from my Father. [No book]
[19]And there was again a division among the Jihudoyee because of his words: [No book]
[20]And many of them said, He has a devil, and is altogether insane, why do you hear him? [No book]
[21]But others said, These words are not of a demoniac: how can a devil open the eyes of the blind? [No book]
[22]IT was the feast of the renovation at Urishlem, and it was winter. [No book]
[23]And Jeshu walked in the temple in the portico of Shelumun. [No book]
[24]And the Jihudoyee surrounded him, saying to him, How long takest thou our souls? If thou art the Meshicha, tell us openly. [No book]
[25]Jeshu answered and said to them, I have told you, and you believe not. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these witness for me. [No book]
[26]But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, [even] as I told you. [No book]
[27]My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; [No book]
[28]And I give to them the life which is eternal, and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall snatch them from my hands. [No book]
[29]For my Father who gave them to me than all is greater; and no man from the hand of my Father can snatch them. [No book]
[30]I and my Father are One. [No book]
[31]And again the Jihudoyee took up stones to stone him. [No book]
[32]Jeshu saith to them, Many good works from my Father have I showed you: on account of which of these works do you stone me? [No book]
[33]The Jihudoyee say to him, Not on account of the good works do we stone thee, but because thou blasphemest; thou, being a son of man, making thyself Aloha. [No book]
[34]Jeshu saith to them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Alohee? [No book]
[35]If them he calleth Alohee, because with them was the word of Aloha, and the scripture cannot be loosed, [No book]
[36]To him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, Thou blasphemest, because I have said to you, I am the Son of Aloha? [No book]
[37]And if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; [No book]
[38]But if I do, though you believe not me, the works believe, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and [that] I [am] in the Father. [No book]
[39]And they sought again to apprehend him; but he went forth from among their hands: [No book]
[40]And he went beyond Jurdan, to the place where Juchanon at first had baptized, and was there. [No book]
[41]And many came to him, and said, Juchanon did not one sign; but every thing which Juchanon said concerning this man was true. [No book]
[42]And many believed in him. [No book]
