It is already clear that the examination has falsified the thesis of the Jesus Seminar. The teaching of Jesus cannot be reconstructed from the hypothetical Q source for Matthew and Luke's gospel and the fourth-century Gospel of Thomas. The sayings we have looked at are not atypical of the sayings Jesus is given to speak in the gospels. They belong not to oral tradition, but to a large and important cluster of ancient wisdom sayings and have been used by both the gospel writers and the Jesus Seminar to create their figures of Jesus.
