The Acts of Thomas
ActThom
[1]AND he said to them, Amen I say to you, There are some who are standing here, who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the kingdom of Aloha come with power. [No book]
[2]And after six days Jeshu took Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and led them up to a high mountain by themselves. And he was altered before their eyes: [No book]
[3]And his raiment shone, and became exceeding white as the snow; as the sons of man on earth could not make white. [No book]
[4]And there were seen with them Musha and Elia discoursing with Jeshu. [No book]
[5]And Kipha said to him, Rabi, it is good for us here to be: and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one. [No book]
[6]But he knew not what he said, for they were in fear. [No book]
[7]And there was the cloud, and it shadowed over them: and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, him hear. [No book]
[8]And instantly, while the disciples looked, they saw no man, but Jeshu alone with them. [No book]
[9]And while they were descending from the mountain, he charged them to tell no man what they had seen, until the Son of man should have arisen from the dead. [No book]
[10]And they held discourse among themselves, and inquired what was this word, when he should have arisen from among the dead. [No book]
[11]And they asked him, saying, How then say the Sophree that Elia must come before? [No book]
[12]He said to them, Elia doth come before, to restore all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that much he should suffer, and be rejected. [No book]
[13]But I tell you, Elia hath also come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written concerning him. [No book]
[14]AND when he came to his disciples, he saw with them a great crowd, and the Sophree questioning with them. [No book]
[15]And immediately all the crowd saw him, and wondered, and ran to salute him. [No book]
[16]And he inquired of the Sophree, What dispute you with them? [No book]
[17]And one from the company answered and said, Malphona, I had brought my son to thee, because he hath a spirit which speaketh not; [No book]
[18]And when he seizeth him, he dasheth him, and teareth and grindeth his teeth, and he becometh dry. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, but they could not. [No book]
[19]Jeshu answered, and said to him, O generation that believeth not! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I tolerate you? bring him to me. [No book]
[20]And they brought him unto him: and when the spirit saw him, he immediately dashed him, and he fell upon the ground; and was convulsed, and was torn. [No book]
[21]And Jeshu asked the father, How long is it from the time from which it was thus? He saith to him, Behold, from his childhood. [No book]
[22]And many times he casteth him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but whatever thou canst, help me, and have mercy upon me. [No book]
[23]Jeshu saith to him, If thou canst believe, every thing can be to him who believeth. [No book]
[24]And in a moment the father of the youth cried out, weeping and saying, I am believing; help the defect of my faith. [No book]
[25]But when Jeshu saw the people running together, and assembling to him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him, Spirit, deaf and unspeaking! I command thee, come forth from him, and enter not into him again! [No book]
[26]And that devil cried greatly, and crushed him, and went forth. And he became as the dead; as that many would say, He is dead. [No book]
[27]But Jeshu took him by the hand, and raised him. [No book]
[28]But when Jeshu had gone into the house, his disciples inquired of him by themselves, Why could not we cast him out? [No book]
[29]Jeshu said to them, This kind with nothing can be cast out, but by fasting and prayer. [No book]
[30]And when he had gone forth from thence, they passed into Galila: and he was not willing that any man should know of him. [No book]
[31]And he taught his disciples, and told them, That the Son of man would be delivered into the hands of men, and they would kill him; and that when he was slain, on the third day he should arise. [No book]
[32]But they understood not his word, and feared to ask him. [No book]
[33]AND they came to Kapher-nachum: and when they had entered the house, he asked them of what they had argued in the way among themselves. [No book]
[34]But they were silent: for they had contended in the way one with another, who should be greatest among them. [No book]
[35]And Jeshu sat, and he called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wills to be the first, shall be the last of all, and the servant of all. [No book]
[36]And he took a certain child, and made him stand in the midst: and he took him upon his arms, and said to them, [No book]
[37]Every one who receiveth [one who is] as this child in my name, me he receiveth: and whoever me receiveth, not me he receiveth, but Him who sent me. [No book]
[38]Juchanon said to him, Rabi, we saw a man casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he did not adhere to us. [No book]
[39]Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for no man who doeth powerful works in my name, can soon speak of me that which is evil. [No book]
[40]He therefore who is not against you is for you. [No book]
[41]For every one who shall give you only a cup of waters to drink in the name that you are of the Meshicha, Amen I say to you, He shall not lose his reward. [No book]
[42]And every one who shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it had been better for him that an ass-millstone had been set to his neck, and he had been cast forth into the sea. [No book]
[43]But if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: better for thee mutilated to go into life, than having two hands to go into gihana; [No book]
[44]Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. [No book]
[45]And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: better for thee to go into life lame, than having two feet to fall into gihana: [No book]
[46]Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. [No book]
[47]And if thine eye offend thee, root it out: better for thee that with one eye thou enter the kingdom of Aloha, than having two eyes to fall into the gihana of fire: [No book]
[48]Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. [No book]
[49]For every [thing] with fire is salted, and every victim with salt shall be salted. [No book]
[50]Good is salt: but if the salt shall [become] insipid, how shall it be salted? Let there be in you salt, and in peace be one with another. [No book]
