33. That's Right -- I Had Forgotten That |

because it was in a parable. I do think that Jesus drew on the Old Testament idea of a king, and he depicted himself as a king, at least indirectly (the triumphal entry).
Now what is really odd is that in the Gospel of Thomas (v 103), Jesus is quoted as saying: "Blessed is he who know where the rebels are going to attack. He collect his imperial resources and be prepared before the rebels arrive." (Some translations say "robber" instead of "rebel" which would put it in a different light.)
