What do The Gospel of the Nazarenes, The Gospel According To The Hebrews and the original Hebrew Gospel Of Matthew have in common? According to “early church” writings they were all the same Gospel! This original Hebrew Gospel, said to be written by the Apostle Matthew, was used by the Hebrew-speaking believers into the fourth century. It was also used by early “Church Fathers” such as Jerome and Origen. Today this original Hebrew Matthew is gone, except for about 20 fragments contained in quotes from other early writers. What became of it? Amazingly, Cyril, a Roman Catholic Bishop, admitted to having BURNED it as heresy! What could the Apostle Matthew possibly have said that was so damaging to the Roman Church that they would burn an original Gospel from one of the Twelve Apostles? This mystery becomes clear in this episode of our program as we look into the suppressed truth about the Apostle, James the Just, known also as “brother of the Lord.”

Our primary sources for this teaching are The Gospel According To John and quotations of Jerome from The Gospel According to the Hebrews, an account of the earthly life and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua first written in Hebrew and held sacred within the first century Nazarean community of believers. This source reports on the resurrection appearance of Messiah to His brother, commonly known as James the Just / Yakov HaTsadeek. While Paul affirms that Messiah appeared to Yakov / James after His resurrection this appearance to Yakov / James is not reported on anywhere in the traditional New Testament Scriptures, leaving a significant gap in the NT resurrection report. That makes the resurrection report from The Gospel According to the Hebrews all the more valuable, since it fills in information known to be lacking from the traditional four Gospels. This important information significantly fills out the picture of what happened after the resurrection of Messiah and helps to lay a foundation of understanding of the role of James the Just / Yakov HaTsadeek among the early believers.
