Thomas Zitate

Der Apostel Thomas ist einer der zwölf Apostel bzw. Jünger, die Jesus drei Jahre lang als Freunde und Schüler begleiteten . Der Name Thomas leitet sich ab aus dem aramäischen ta'am, was „gepaart“ oder „Zwilling“ bedeutet. Deshalb wird Thomas in der Bibel auch Didymos genannt. In der syrischen Tradition erscheint er als Judas Thomas, da Thomas dort als Beiname verstanden wird.

In der katholischen, der orthodoxen und der anglikanischen Kirche wird der Apostel Thomas als Heiliger und Märtyrer verehrt; auch die evangelischen Kirchen erinnern an ihn. Wikipedia

Thomas: Zitate auf Englisch

“Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.”

Thomas the Apostle

Gospel of Thomas (c. 50? — c. 140?)
Kontext: If those who lead you say, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.

“It will not come by waiting for it. 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.”

Thomas the Apostle
