Saying 67

English

Jesus said, ‘Whoever knows everything, but needs to know himself, is in need of everything.’


Interpretation

Saying 67, from the latest additions to the book, contrasts knowledge of worldly things against the knowledge necessary for salvation. The ignorant person being ‘in need’ implies they are in ‘poverty’, the concept found in other parts of Thomas.
