61 Jesus said, "Two will recline on a couch; one will die, one will live." 2 Salome said, "Who are you, mister? You have climbed onto my couch and eaten from my table as if you are from someone." 3 Jesus said to her, "I am the one who comes from what is whole. I was granted from the things of my Father." 4"I am your disciple." 5"For this reason I say, if one is (whole), one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness." [Complete Gospels]

Notes

Biblical Parallels

1 Thess 4:13-18

4:13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 4:14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. 4:15 For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. 4:16 For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call and with the sound of God's trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 4:17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. 4:18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
