And he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death." (1 Thomas)

We are invited to discovery and interpretation. What do these sayings mean?

Any saying depends at least as much on context and listener as on the intent of the one speaking.

Unless speaker, context, and listener are precisely calibrated meaning is always a matter of interpretation, of discernment, and of potential misunderstanding.

Someone - Jesus, Thomas, or another "he" - said that if one finds the meaning (for me? for us? for all?) he or she will not taste death.

Do I wish to avoid death? Avoiding death is a recurring theme of the Thomas Gospel. There are parallels especially in the Gospel of John (see 8:51-52). What does this mean?
