Jesus saith, [Ye ask (?) who are those] that draw us [to the kingdom, if] the kingdom is in heaven? ...... the fowls of the air, and all the beasts that are under the earth or upon the earth, and the fishes of the sea, [these are they which draw] you, and the kingdom of heaven is within you; and whosoever shall know himself shall find it. [Strive therefore (?)] to know yourselves, and ye shall be aware that ye are the sons of the [Almighty (?)] Father; [and (?)] ye shall know that ye are in [the city of God (?)] and ye are [the city (?)].
The first part of this saying attributes to Christ a saying evidently based on the thought of Job 12:7, 8. Other parts of the saying recall Luke 17:21 and Luke 20:36, though the phrases which remind us of these passages form but a small part of the saying and appear here in quite a different connection.
The third saying runs:
Jesus saith, A man shall not hesitate ...... to ask ...... concerning his place [in the kingdom. Ye shall know] that many that are first shall be last and the last first and [they shall have eternal life (?)].
A part of this saying follows Mark 10:31 and Matt. 19:30; cf. also Luke 13:30. The last clause is conjectural, but, if correct, is similar to John 3:16, 36; 5:24.
The fourth:
Jesus saith, Everything that is not before thy face and that which is hidden from thee shall be revealed to thee. For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest, nor buried which shall not be raised.
The last part of this saying is parallel to Matt. 10:26; Luke 12:2; see also Mark 4:22.
The fifth:
His disciples question him and say, How shall we fast and how shall we [pray (?)] ...... and what [commandment] shall we keep? ...... Jesus saith, ...... do not ...... of truth ...... blessed is he ........
