Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Thomas (c. 50? — c. 140?) attributed to Thomas the Apostle, verse 77

It is I who am the light which is above them All. It is I who am the All. From me did the All come forth, and unto me did the All extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.
— Jesus on Pantheism
