6 On Luke's influence on the Gospel of Thomas, see J. P. Meier, A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus, vol. 1 (New York: Doubleday, 1991), 136; C. M. Tuckett, “Thomas and the Synoptics,” Novum Testamentum 30 (1988): 132–57, esp. 146.

7 Several scholars have concluded that the Gospel of Thomas draws upon the New Testament Gospels. See R. M. Grant, The Secret Sayings of Jesus (Garden City: Doubleday, 1960), 113; B. Gäner, The Theology of the Gospel According to Thomas (New York: Harper, 1961), 26–27, 34, 42–43. Similar conclusions have been reached by H. K. McArthur, “The Dependence of the Gospel of Thomas on the Synoptics,” Expository Times 71 (1959–60): 286–87; W. R. Schoedel, “Parables in the Gospel of Thomas,” Concordia Theological Monthly 43 (1972): 548–60; K. R. Snodgrass, “The Gospel of Thomas: A Secondary Gospel,” Second Century 7 (1989–90): 19–38; Tuckett, “Thomas and the Synoptics,” 157; Meier, A Marginal Jew, 130–39. According to C. E. Carlston (The Parables of the Triple Tradition [Philadelphia: Fortress, 1975], xiii), “Many readings of the Gospel of Thomas and a considerable amount of time spent with the secondary literature…have not yet convinced me that any of the parabolic material in Thomas is clearly independent of the Synoptic Gospels.”
