Whew!!!
"The Gospel of Thomas",
(7) Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by
man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and, and the lion becomes
man."
The Web text I grabbed was obviously incomplete. The above is from the
closest thing there is to a Gnostic Bible, _The Nag Hammadi Library in
English_, ed. James M. Robinson (3rd ed., 1988), p. 127.
