Social Sciences - Religion | | English term or phrase: Pericope | "Thus, in the Gospel of Thomas, Pharisees do not bring issues to Jesus like they do in canonical gospels. A key example of this is the Thomas version of the pericope about paying taxes to Ceasar".
I am translating a document called The Gospel of Thomas with Historical Comments. Simon & Schuster's tells me it is a "pequeño fragmento de un trabajo literario" but doesn't say what the word is in Spanish so I need your help. Mis anticipadas gracias.

Una perícopa (del griego περικοπη, pericopé, "corte") es, en retórica, un grupo de versos con un sentido unitario coherente. El término se utiliza habitualmente en la exégesis del Nuevo Testamento.
