John said: "Master, is there any material universe?"Jesus answered: "No."John asked: "Is there a material body?"Jesus hesitated a long time and finally said: "Saints believed that their bodies were fashioned of clay and this believing brought them death."Jesus said: "Let not him who seeketh cease from seeking until he hath found:"... and when he hath found, he shall be amazed."... and when he hath been amazed, he shall reign."... and when he shall reign, he shall have rest."... the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and whoever shall know himself shall find it."... strive, therefore, to know yourselves and ye shall know that ye are in the City of God, and ye are the City."
This dialogue is translated from a manuscript in the British Museum. The manuscript, which was found in Oxyrynchus in Egypt on the back side of a land-surveyor list of measurements, is very old. It is in a case which is chained to a table. A British officer stands by it all the time. He allows anyone to copy it, but not to touch it.
