two/one male/female 22, 23, 30, 106, 114

22) Jesus saw some infants at the breast. He said
to his disciples: These little ones at the breast
are like those who enter into the kingdom. They
said to him: If we then be children, shall we
enter the kingdom? Jesus said to them: When you
make the two one , and when you make the inside as
the outside, and the outside as the inside, and
the upper side as the lower; and when you make the
male and the female into a single one , that the
male be not male and the female female; when you
make eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in
place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, an
image in place of an image, then shall you enter
[the kingdom]. Matthew 18:1-3; John 17:11

(23) Jesus said: I shall choose you, one out of a
thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they
shall stand as a single one. Matthew 22:14

(30) Jesus said: Where there are three gods, they
are gods; where there are two or one, I am with
him. Matthew 18:20

(106) Jesus said: When you make the two one, you
shall become sons of man, and when you say:
Mountain, be moved, it shall be moved. Matthew 17:20

(114) Simon Peter said to them: Let Mary go forth
from among us, for women are not worthy of the
life. Jesus said: Behold, I shall lead her, that
I may make her male, in order that she also may
become a living spirit like you males. For every
woman who makes herself male shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven. (Obviously chauvinistic in
the highest degree... but: what else is
here?)
(Leloup directs us to the Gospel of
Mary Magdelene.)(Look again at Saying 22 above.)
