An ancient manuscript called The Lost Gospel tells
the story of Jesus’s two sons and his marriage to
Mary Magdalene.
Jesus Christ did not die on the cross, he had
married Mary Magdalene, and the happy couple had
two children by the time Christ was crucified. The
shocking revelation comes from a lost ‘Gospel’
dating back to 570 AD and written in Syriac — a
Middle Eastern literary language used between the
4th and 8th centuries and related to Aramaic, the
language spoken by Jesus.
The manuscript dating back to 570 AD (above) is

language used between the 4th and 8th centuries

Written on vellum — treated animal skin — it had
been in the archives of the British Library for about
20 years. The British Museum had originally bought
it in 1847 from a dealer who said he had obtained it
from the ancient St Macarius Monastery in Egypt.
For the past 160 years, the document has been
studied by a few scholars but has been considered
pretty unremarkable. But after six years of study by
Simcha Jacobovici, an Israeli-Canadian film-maker,
and Barrie Wilson, a professor of religious studies, a
missing fifth gospel was found.
Jesus revealing himself to Mary Magdalene after
the resurrection in painting by Antonio Allegri da
Correggio titled Noli me Tangere. It has been
claimed that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were
married
The researchers are convinced they’ve uncovered
a missing fifth gospel — to add to the four gospels,
which tell the story of the life of Christ and are said
to have been written by the evangelists Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, in the 1st century AD.
Jacobovici believes that his ‘lost gospel’ proves that
Jesus must have a wife. He says: “Jesus is called a
“rabbi” in the gospels. And a rabbi, to this day, in
order to have a congregation and a ministry, has to
be married. If he’s going to lead a congregation,
he’s got to be a model for that congregation. In the
first century, you reach manhood — you get
married.”
Writers of new book ‘The Lost Gospel’ claim that
Mary Magdalene and Jesus had two children
together, they are believed to be portrayed in Da
Vinci’s The Last Supper
To emphasise his belief that Mary of Magdalene
was Jesus’s wife, he describes her decision to visit
his body on the Sunday after the Crucifixion. “The
gospels told us why she went there — to wash and
anoint his body. She’s just a follower and yet she’s
going to unwrap his naked body? Women do not
wash rabbis or male bodies. Only males do it —
unless you are the man’s wife.”
And so, could centuries of Christian teaching be
wrong and that Jesus was a husband and father? If
true, this would make it the greatest revelation into
the life of Jesus in nearly 2,000 years. The theory is
based on the claims that this ‘lost’ gospel and the
‘encrypted’ story of Jesus’s marriage was the work
of a group of persecuted Christians and apparently
disappeared from public view around 325 AD.
