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 074 of Thomas Gospel.

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

Gospel of Thomas Saying 74 - The cistern is empty.
He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern."

This appears to relate to the previous saying and the difficulties jesus faced in spreading his teaching

He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough,
The trough is where drinking water is provided for those that want to drink from it.
The cistern is where water is accumulated and saved from its source, ready to be used to fill the trough.
Jesus is speaking to God, saying many have come to hear his teaching “there are many around the drinking trough”

but there is nothing in the cistern."
But he cannot be everywhere to teach them all “nothing in the cistern."
