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 045 of Thomas Gospel.

 

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

 

Gospel of Thomas Saying 45 - Grapes do not come from thorns.
Jesus said, "Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."

"Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles”
The thorn is the store of knowledge that will produce only more thorns. The thorn bush has no knowledge or understanding of grapes.
The thistle bush is the store of knowledge that can only produce more thistles. The thistle bush has been given no knowledge or understanding of grapes.

“A good man brings forth good from his storehouse”
A good man can listen to divine reason through the intuition of his heart. Therefore, through divine reason the good man only accepts and stores the good and rejects evil.

“an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."
As the thorn or the thistle only have the knowledge of thorns or thistles stored. A man who only knows evil can only store evil. A man whose heart is limited and only stores evil will only spread that evil.

ref. Luke 6:43-45, Matt 7:15-20, Matt 12:33-37.
