The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.

 

Our Commentary on Verse 009 of Thomas Gospel.

 

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

 

Gospel of Thomas Saying 9 - The parable of a sower
Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit; it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."

The sower trusts that enough seeds will find good fertile soil. The sower knows that the seeds face many obstacles and some seed will be wasted. Each seed has the potential to grow and mature into the food that feeds man to sustain his body. Only the seeds that land on fertile ground will grow to maturity to feed all the people.

Jesus’ words also work like seeds. Jesus is a sower of divine knowledge among men.
Just like the grains of corn need to land on fertile ground to produce their goodness, so do the words of Jesus need to reach the fertile ground of an open heart to mature to divine knowledge. All beings have access through an open heart to divine intuition. It is through divine intuition that good words are recognised and nurtured “…others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit; it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."
Although there are no words that alone could describe the Divine. Jesus’ words, once understood can guide the hearer in the right direction. Each of Jesus’ sayings can mature to divine understanding.

Some men don’t have the ears to hear this subtle language of the divine. They are tuned in only to hear words that will reveal a material benefit. Others are too afraid to hear unfamiliar words so their hearts remain closed. Others, proud of their knowledge and achievements have egos that would reject the words of a poor itinerate preacher “Some fell on the road… Others fell on the rock… And others fell on thorns” For all such people, Jesus’ good words are, for now, wasted. If a person doesn’t have the ears to hear and allow in his words of wisdom, then that person cannot reap the rewards.

When Jesus’ words are heard and nurtured, they will produce an abundance of knowledge that can spread and can be shared to feed the spirits of many others “it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure." to guide and sustain their journey back home to unity with the Absolute.
