Chapter 15  
     
1.
 They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to Him, Caesars men demand taxes from us.
  
2.
 He said to them, Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God, and give Me what is Mine.
  
3.
 Jesus said,Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to Me.
 
4.
 And whoever does not love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to Me. For My mother gave me falsehood, but My true Mother gave me life.
  
5.
 Jesus said, Woe to the Pharisees, for they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat.
  
6.
 Jesus said, Fortunate is the man who knows where the brigands will enter, so that he may get up, muster his domain, and arm himself before they invade.
  
7.
 They said to Jesus, Come, let us pray today and let us fast.
  
8.
 Jesus said, What is the sin that I have committed, or wherein have I been defeated? But when the bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber, then let them fast and pray.
  
9.
 Jesus said, He who knows the father and the mother will be called the son of a harlot.
  
10.
 Jesus said, When you make the two one, you will become the Sons of Man, and when you say, Mountain, move away, it will move away.
  
11.
 Jesus said, The Kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep.
 
12.
 One of them, the largest, went astray.
 
13.
 He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it.
 
14.
 When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, I care for you more than the ninety-nine.
  
15.
 Jesus said, He who will drink from my mouth will become like Me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will become revealed to him.
  
16.
 Jesus said, The Kingdom is like a man who had a hidden treasure in his field without knowing it.
 
17.
 And after he died, he left it to his son.
 
18.
 The son did not know about the treasure. He inherited the field and sold it.
 
19.
 And the one who bought it went plowing and found the treasure. He began to lend money at interest to whomever he wished.
  
20.
 Jesus said, Whoever finds the world and becomes rich, let him renounce the world.
  
21.
 Jesus said, The heavens and the earth will be rolled up in your presence.
 
22.
 And one who lives from words of the Living One will not see death.
 
23.
 Have I not said before to you, Whoever finds himself is superior to the world?
  
24.
 Jesus said, Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh.
  
25.
 His disciples said to Him, When will the Kingdom come?
  
26.
 Jesus said,It will not come by waiting for it.
 
27.
 It will not be a matter of saying Here it is or There it is. Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.
  
28.
 Simon Peter said to Him, Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of this Life.
  
29.
 Jesus said, I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males.
 
30.
 For every woman who will make herself male will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
