The Gospel of Thomas Saying 77
The following text is part of the Gospel of Thomas, a non-canonical (apocryphal) collection of sayings attributed to Jesus. It was discovered among the Nag Hammadi library in Egypt in 1945. It’s written in Coptic and likely dates to the 2nd century CE.
In this lost gospel, Yeshua is sharing that he is the holy “stuff” that is within
:
📜 Coptic (Nag Hammadi Codex II, 32:10–33:2)
(Transliterated from the Sahidic dialect)
ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲉⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟⲓ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̄ⲧⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲛⲁⲓ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟⲓ.ⲕⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲓⲥⲧⲁⲩ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟⲕ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ.ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲡⲱϩ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟⲕ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ̄ⲧⲉϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
(Translation)
Jesus said, “I am the light that is over all things.I am all; all came forth from me, and to me all attained.Split the wood, and I am there.Lift the stone, and you will find me there.”
Take a moment to meditate and contemplate upon this idea. How does this feel for you personally?
