The present study is concerned with the parable about rebellious vinedressers in the Coptic Gospel of Thomas (logion 65) which has parallels in all three synoptic gospels. We tried to compare them and to interpret their mutual relationship which can be formulated as follows: author (or redactor) of the Gospel of Thomas shows a knowledge of versions of this parable in the Gospel of Matthew and of Luke. He utilized their terminology, retained the elementary narrative structure of the story, which he adapted in accordance with his theological purpose and view as it is presented in the Gospel of Thomas as whole.

The parable of the Wicked Tenants can be found not only in all three synoptic gospels (Mt 21:33-46; Mk 12:1-12; Lk 20:9-19), but also in the Coptic apocryphal Gospel of Thomas (logion 65; cf. also the following logion 66). Many questions about this text are controversial, especially the tradition history of the pericope. This study argues that the parable of the Wicked Tenants - in a simple form - may have its origin in the preaching of Jesus of Nazareth. The text in the Gospel of Thomas, although simple and without allegorical elements, represents a secondary development (the logion 66 being a sign of this process). The oldest of the synoptics is Mark. Matthew and Luke are depending on Mark. The text in the Gospel of Matthew is theologically the most eloquent, especially in vs. 41b and 43. The evangelist very probably thinks of the (ideal) Church as a new people of God (vs. 43), but the final dismissal of the Jews is not expressed. On the other hand, the parenesis of the Matthean pericope says: the real Church in history should produce fruits.

This article deals with the parable about pulling up the tares in the Coptic Gospel of Thomas (log. 57). It interprets this parable in the literary and theological context of this gospel and compares it with its parallel in the Gospel according to Matthew. The tares/weeds can represent those who did not reach a true understanding of the Father's kingdom and so they could not enter it. In the Gospel of Thomas the phrase 'the day of the harvest' is not to be understood apocalyptically or eschatologically; it confirms and emphasizes the radical and definitive fate of those people without true knowledge and it also points to the essential relevance of the understanding of the kingdom already present in the world. Comparison with Matthew's parallel has shown that the author of GThom knew and took over the canonical version; modifying it, he placed emphasis on pulling up the tares/weeds.
