The Gospel of Thomas is a noncanonical book of Jesus' sayings allegedly written by the Apostle Thomas.

Though it was originally thought to be Gnostic in nature, it is more likely to be a copy of another Gospel, probably Matthew, excluding the narrative and only containing his parables and sayings. The only complete copy was written in the Egyptian language of Coptic and was found amongst the Nag Hammadi Codex.
