"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes in to the Father except through me." (My translation)
Many recognize that Jesus is the Way. Fewer recognize that the Father is the Destination. True Christianity does not stop with Jesus. It does not pause along the Way. True Christianity is oriented toward the Father, Who is the Destination, just as Jesus himself was oriented toward, not himself, but his Father.

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).
