DID YOU KNOW?
The answer
Yes. Jesus warns of "false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves" (Matthew 7:15). Aesop has a similar fable, so both associations are fair.
Why it’s interesting
This is the reverse of the usual surprise: a phrase people assume is just a fable turns out to be a red-letter line. The image was floating around the ancient world, and the Gospel puts it in Jesus' mouth.
