  • THE GOSPEL of THOMAS REVISITED* I. Introduction This Is
    CHAPTER TWELVE THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS REVISITED* I. Introduction These are the hidden words which the Living Jesus spoke and Didymus Judas Thomas wrote. And he said: ‘Whoever fi nds the deeper mean- ing of these words will not taste death’. This is the reconstructed beginning of a leaf from a papyrusbook in Greek containing Sayings of Jesus and retrieved in 1903 by B.P. Grenfell and A.S. Hunt from one of the rubbish-heaps of the city of Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 654. In 1897 and 1903 two other fragments were found in the same city, Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1 and 655, which, as we now see, belonged to the same writing, the Gospel of Thomas, though to different copies of it. The discoverers concluded for palaeographical reasons that the papyri could not be much later than 200 A.D. Since then, no one has disputed or refuted this conclusion. Scholars at that time were no fools. Notwithstanding the frag- mentary state of the discovery and the mutilation of the papyri, they saw that these leaves had connections with the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of the Hebrews and the Gospel of the Egyptians. In his book of 1920, The Sayings of Jesus from Oxyrhynchus, Evelyn White wrote: It would, perhaps, be generally conceded by those critics who regard the Sayings as extracts that only three of the various sources which have been suggested any longer have a serious claim to considera- tion—the Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospels to the Egyptians and the Hebrews (XLII). Nobody said these Sayings were Gnostic, nobody said that they were taken from the canonical Gospels.

Costa Babalis The scholarly community, up to the present time, has struggled to find a solution for the enigma of logion 7 in the Gospel of Thomas. Resolution has been met with difficulty due to the isolation of the leonine imagery to the logion itself, the significance of consumption and its relationship with either a blessed or cursed state and finally the untenable ending to the logion that defies the conventions of a balanced chiastic structure.
