- 49. Jesus said: "Whoever blasphemes the Father will
be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes the Son will be forgiven; however,
he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, not on earth or
in Heaven."
- 50. Jesus said: "Grapes are not harvested from thorns,
and figs are not gathered from thistles, for they do not give fruit! A
good man brings good things out of his treasury. A wicked man brings
evil things out of his wicked treasury - what is in his mind - and he
speaks evil. For out of excess of the mind does he bring out evil things.
"
- 51. Jesus said this: "From Adam to Johann the Baptist,
among those begotten of women, no one is higher than Johann the Baptist!
To lower his eyes, however, I have said this: "He who among you
becomes <as> a little one, he will know the Kingdom and be higher
than Johann!"
- 52. Jesus said: "In no way can a man mount two horses,
nor draw two bows. And in no way can a servant serve two Lords: else he
will honor the one and the other one he will despise! No man drinks old
wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And they don't pour new
wine into old wine skins, lest they burst. And they don't pour old wine
into new wine skins, lest they destroy it. And they don't sow old patches
onto a new garment, because a tear would result."
- 53. Jesus said: "Should two make peace with each other
<and be> alone in this house, they will say to the mountain: 'Move
away!' and it will move."
- 54. Jesus said this: "Blessed are the one and chosen,
for you will find the Kingdom! Because you have come from it, you will
return to it again."
- 55. Jesus said: "If they should say to you: 'From whence
have you come?' say to them: 'We have come from the Light, from the place
where the light emanates of itself, arises and appears in our image.' If
someone says to you: 'Who are you?' say: 'We are the Sons and we are the
chosen of the living Father.' If they should ask you: 'What sign of your
Father is in you?' tell them: 'It is a movement and <yet>
motionless.'"
