Overview

Out of all apocryphal Gospels, all were refuted largely by the Church Fathers. However, one text stood out among them all, whose authority was considered -- including by Origen and Jerome: the Gospel of the Hebrews. According to them, an early Christian group called the Nazoraeans, or Nazirites (not the later Notzrim), who were tied to their Hebrew origins, held it with high honor, since it was written in either Hebrew or Aramaic with Hebrew letters. Some thought it be the same as the so-called Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, as the text itself, they say, was written by him. In the in-depth studies of Aaron Miller, he has discovered a possibility that it was also the lost Q Source , said to be a source from which the Gospels of Matthew and Luke largely borrowed. Since it was originally written in Hebrew and prized by the first Messianic Believers, it is rendered according to the original Hebrew names (though with the Greek vowels, since those were the vowels the Hebrews used at the time), as well as Hebrew terms for the Messianic believer.
