Saying 108: Whoever Drinks From My Mouth

Gospel of Thomas Saying 108 John 4:14; John 7:37–38

Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me, and I will become that person, and what is hidden will be revealed to them.

Commentary

The twin motif of the prologue reaches its conclusion here. The relation is not discipleship but identity, and it runs in both directions.
