<P> The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is thought to be Gnostic in origin . The oldest known copy ( discovered with the Nag Hammadi ) was written in Coptic , not Greek as would have been expected of an authentic apocryphal text or `` lost gospel '' . Later references ( by Hippolytus of Rome and Origen of Alexandria ) to a `` Gospel of Thomas '' , are more likely to be referring to this Infancy Gospel , than to the wholly different Gospel of Thomas with which it is sometimes confused . </P>
