Are you serious? The Gospel of Thomas is considered to be an important extra-canonical document that gives its readers an excellent view into the theology of Egyptian Christians.Your quote is from the "Gospel of Thomas".
Maybe you should try a real Bible, instead, Phil.
From wikipedia: The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is an extra-canonical[1] sayings gospel. 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 in response to a letter from Bishop Athanasius declaring a strict canon of Christian scripture. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD.[2][3] Since its discovery, many scholars have seen it as evidence in support of the existence of a "Q source" which might have been very similar in its form as a collection of sayings of Jesus without any accounts of his deeds or his life and death, referred to as a sayings gospel."
What, according to you, is a "real Bible" (even though that has nothing to do with the subject being discussed). And how do you know that Phil doesn't read "a real Bible"?
