Episode 273: Enemy in the Field: Saying 57 in the Gospel of Thomas

The Gospel of Thomas saying 57 is compared to the Parable of the Wheat and Tares in Matthew 13:24-30 and the Parable of the Seed Growing Secretly in Mark 4:26-29. Both synoptic parables share a similar theme with Thomas 57 about a man sowing seed in his field, but they differ in the details and narrative structure, suggesting Thomas is a distinct source.
