(29) Jesus says:
(1) “If the flesh came into being because of the spirit, it is a wonder.
(2) But if the spirit (came into being) because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders.
(3) Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has taken up residence in this poverty.”
(30) Jesus says:
(1) “Where there are three gods, they are gods.
(2) Where there are two or one, I am with him.”
(31) Jesus says:
(1) “No prophet is accepted in his (own) village.
(2) A physician does not heal those who know him.”
(32) Jesus says:
“A city built upon a high mountain (and) fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden.”
(33) Jesus says:
(1) “What you will hear with your ear {with the other ear} proclaim from your rooftops.
(2) For no one lights a lamp (and) puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place.
(3) Rather, he puts it on a lampstand, so that everyone who comes in and goes out will see its light.”
(34) Jesus says:
“If a blind (person) leads a blind (person), both will fall into a pit.”
(35) Jesus says:
(1) “It is not possible for someone to enter the house of a strong (person) (and) take it by force unless he binds his hands.
(2) Then he will loot his house.”
