Abstract

This chapter is in German with a brief English introduction which talks about the Hebrew Gospel In the Gnostic Gospel of Mary. Matthew 6:21 and Luke 12:34 both transmit a Saying of Jesus in the following way: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The same version is transmitted by the Manichaean Kephalaia 223: As the Saviour said: Where your heart is, there will be your treasure also. Jesus was a poet, he quite often used the stylistic device of parallelismus membrorum. Therefore it is possible that the two traditions have preserved each one half of the original two-lines. Both the Jewish version and the Hellenistic version of the Saying could be of Jewish Christian origin.Keywords: Gnostic Gospel of Mary; Hebrew Gospel; Saying of Jesus
