Mine is in a book called
Beyond Belief - the secret gospel of Thomas
By Elaine Pagels ISBN 0-375-70316-0
She offers a translation thats starts:
These are the secret saying that the living Jesus spoke and Judas Thomas the twin wrote down
1. And he said "whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death"
2. Jesus said "Let one who seeks not stop seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be troubled. When he is troubled, he will be astonished and will rule over all."
And so it goes on.
I add it because:
a) it's a VERY good book, mostly about an early Bishop called Irenaeus.
b) because I think the missing first line is important, and
c) because I don't know about Bloom, but the important point in all this in often "interpretation".
Back to point b). There were two Judas' - one Iscariot and the other a Twin. The Aramaic word for twin became translated in to Greek as Thomas. So to say Thomas the twin is really to say "twin" the twin. Shows how much was already lost by the time it was written in Greek. Written by Thomas! His name was JUDAS, but because there were two Judases it just caused too many problems. There is a strong church of Thomas Christians in the East somewhere, I think in India, and the impression I get is that they spend a lot of their time saying "No, a different Judas"!
