Notes:
*** The Sahidic Coptic text omits the second instance of "is above everyone" found in some Greek texts here, but is absent from the early witnesses Sinaiticus, Bezae and p75 (Bodmer)
****The Greek text has "the one who is disobeying the Son," but the Greek word may also signify "refusing to believe." (Complete Biblical Library: Greek-English Lexicon, Alpha-Gamma; BDAG page 99)

The Purpose of this Blog
Many people are familiar with apocryphal Coptic gospels that contain "Jesus sayings." However, this blog will feature sayings from the Canonical Sahidic Coptic Gospels, i.e., Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, about the Lord Jesus Christ, as found in the Holy Bible. The purpose is to highlight the wisdom found in the Sahidic Coptic version (2nd/3rd centuries) of the Canonical Gospels, often overshadowed by the current popularity of possibly Gnostic works like the gospels of Thomas, Philip, or Judas. A secondary purpose is to enhance my continuing study of the Egyptian language (in its Sahidic Coptic form), by means of these practical translating exercises.
The Coptic text used is essentially that found in the Sahidic Coptic New Testament, edited by J. Warren Wells (2006).
