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 98 of Thomas Gospel.

 

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

 

Gospel of Thomas Saying 98 - A parable of an assassination.
Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a certain man who wanted to kill a powerful man. In his own house he drew his sword and stuck it into the wall in order to find out whether his hand could carry through. Then he slew the powerful man."

There is no place for a powerful individual in the unity of "The kingdom of the father."
Before this certain man can enter the kingdom, he needs to slay his powerful ego.
Our ego resides in our own being, or house. It believes it is us.

In order to slay one’s ego, one must have the strength to suffer any damage to one’s own being, or house “In his own house he drew his sword and stuck it into the wall” When that possibility has been faced and the strength to followed through been proven “in order to find out whether his hand could carry through” the ego will lose its power and can then be slain.
“Then he slew the powerful man."

ref. Luke 14:31.
