Coptic Gospel of Thomas is probably the most interesting gospel found in the Nag Hammadi. The Gospel begins with Thomas Judas Didimus as Jesus' twin brother. Didimus and Thomas are actually mean "twin" in Greek and Hebrew. There is high probability that Thomas, in this sense is not the actual brother of Jesus, but more spiritual one, because Thomas knew the secret of the Jesus' teaching which he shared exclusively with these he thought ready.
Gospel of Thomas is a must read for all these who are interested of gnosticism.
