The '''Gospel of Thomas''' is a unique apocryphal work that contains 114 verses of brief sayings attributed to [[Jesus]] most of which begin with the words "Jesus said." There are some parallels to the [[New Testament]] [[Gospels]], and some areas that are contrary, and some areas of new creation. It is misnamed as a gospel because it does not give a narrative of Jesus' life.
