There is no "Gospel of Jesus"
All the gospels are "the Gospel according to XXXX"
All the apostles that wrote gospels were Hebrew and would have spoken and written in Aramaic. The earliest versions known of the gospels are in Greek.
The very earliest date attributed to a gospel is about 60 CE, so about 30 years after the alleged death of Jesus. And this is by the Christian scholars who have a desire to push the data as early as possible.
If there is some document in the Vatican archives, then it must contradict Church dogma or have some similar reason for the Church to suppress it. If they had the written word of Jesus that supported their belief system they would have announced it to the world years ago.
Or

From a purely historical viewpoint, Jesus was very likely illiterate. He and all his contemporaries spoke only Aramaic, but there are no New Testament scriptures written in Aramaic! In fact the earliest canonical scriptures, Paul's pastoral epistles, were written several decades after Jesus was crucified.
For many centuries, Jews believed that the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament, were dictated to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai. Even though these books give an account of Moses's death, and what happened after that!

I wish, more fervently than the most devout Christian, that we could all get a glimpse of the actual historical personage(s) upon whom the accounts in the gospels were loosely, partially based. I have a feeling Christians would be in for a shock - and so would this "Jesus," to know that his life story had been clumsily dovetailed with plagiarized pagan mythology to create the hybrid religion we know today.
The Gospels were all written many decades after the death of "Christ," by initiates of the mystery cult founded in his name - today we might call them "partisan hacks." No serious historian would consider them reliable accounts. There has been some debate over whether a source document may have been used in their compilation, perhaps a collection of the actual sayings of Jesus, taken down by his followers while he was still alive. That's about as close as you can get to anything actually written by Jesus.

The Bible was written by many people over the course of centuries. It was not compiled into one book until the time of Constantine, when he gathered together all of the important Christian clergy of the day, sat them down in Nicea, and ordered them to determine which Christian writings would be considered orthodox by all Christians and which would not. He also wanted them to codify, once and for all, what Christians believed, as there were many Christian sects at the time. This is where the Nicean Creed of the Catholic Church was written.
There were in Constantine's time many Christian writings being circulated, only 70 of which were deemed 'canon' by the group of clergy meeting in Nicea. Christian writings which this group did not deem worthy of inclusion in the Bible later came to be considered apocryphal. These included the Book of Enoch, the Book of Mary, the Book of Thomas, and the Book of Jubilees, among others. Despite their being rejected for inclusion in the Bible, some of these apocryphal writings were very popular during that period.
There was actually debate as to whether the five books of the Old Testament which comprise the Torah should be included in the Bible. This is because some of the Nicean clergy argued that, if Christ preached about a loving God, how could books which portrayed him as wrathful be included in a Christian Bible? However, it was also argued that Christianity owed its heritage to Judaism. At that time there were Christians who considered themselves Jewish Christians and Jewish people who considered themselves Christian Jews. So those five Old Testament books stayed.
If you read an Ethiopian Bible, some of the apocryphal books are included in it. Some are also included in the Koran.
The more I learn about the process of compiling the Bible, the more fascinated I am by it.

The only writing of God the Father with "his own finger" were the rocks with the 10 commandments. They disappeared! You can still see today the stele of the code of Hammurabi made by human hands about 500 years before the 10 Commandments in a museum in London, but no such luck about the tables of the commandments written with the finger of God. BTW the original 10 commandments were not supposed to be on public display, but hidden inside "the Ark of the Pact"... Anyone peeking inside the ark was ZAPPED on the spot! Some peeked and they died by the tens of thousands each one of them! I would take the warning after the first guy who peeked and was zapped... but over 50,000 unauthorized peekers zapped dead in one day... it can only happen in the Bible!
Sorry, but according to the Holy Ghost inspired translation of the King James Bible there were 50,070 men dead for peeking inside the Arc of the Pact where the tables of the 10 commandements were hidden....
1 Samuel 6:19 (KJV-1611) And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

Like Nostradamus, the bible is written from prophecy.... but introduced and changed to enslave the human race through lies and religion.... the man didn't get to write the books yet... Jesus dying for the sins of man... means the devil had plans to kill him before he could condemn the religions specifically catholic and christian... then the devil had plans to rebuild the image calling it christ.. this is where the christians betray the man... but he didn't die... he won't be out in the open enough to get mobbed... but the good news is the information he that he is meant to give the human race will destroy the religions... that is what freedom and salvation mean... free from religious lies...

Jesus didn't write it. The Apostles didn't write it.
It was passed down orally like the Iliad and the Odyssey before it was written down and eventually translated, edited, and altered to satisfy the needs of Popes in controlling "the flock".

No bible verse. i will inform you that nature aborts greater human fetuses than abortionists do. maximum christian adult adult males have lost a fetus they and their different halves never knew existed. maximum non christian adult adult males too. human beings attempting to have babies might properly be greater conscious of this simply by fact they do early being pregnant exams. it would be merciless to tell them they lost a newborn. mothers and dads who've lost a newborn will inform you it is not something like dropping an early being pregnant. you may desire to forgive your self. You fornicated. You have been careless with beginning administration. you placed this lady in the awkward place of being pregnant in an volatile relationship. i'm hoping you paid for the abortion. there's a verse with regards to the mote on your exes eye and the beam on your guy or woman. discover it in a searchable on-line bible. or color some easter eggs and think of chuffed strategies.

The only time the bible mentions jesus writing anything was in the dust. talk about a missed opportunity. We know that jesus knew how to write, but decided not to leave us anything in writing. Could be because he didn't exist.

The Bible was written by several people including the prophets and Jesus's deciples. Most of the testament except Mathew, Mark, Luke and John was written by Paul. I believe that the words of Jesus was written by his deciples from the words he spoke to them including Paul whom Jesus spoke to after the death, burial and ressurection of Jesus.
