You will not find the Gospel of Thomas in the collection of writings that make up the New Testament. In fact, you would not have heard of it at all if it a surviving copy had not been found among the several ‘books’ at the Nag Hammadi site.
While we knew that the Gospel existed through early church mention, and we had a few shards of the text written in Greek, until the find at Nag Hammadi it did not exist as a complete document.
I have never heard of 46th Saying in the Gospel of Thomas. Help me out. No book of thomas in any bible that I have read.
Bill,
