The Gospel of the Holy Twelve
The Gospel of the Holy Twelve, Jesus’ Gospel, translated from the Aramaic, is one of the most ancient and complete fragments of the Jewish Christian Movement. Based upon historical records, Apostle John recorded his Master’s Gospel while incarcerated. Once completed, he made it known to the other Apostles, and then to protect it from falsification, a trusted disciple took the Gospel to hide it in a Buddhist Monastery in Tibet. Proof the Apostles would have taken such a precaution is in Chapter II of Apostle Peter’s epistle to Jesus’ brother, Apostle James, that is within The Clementine Homilies.
Historical records disclose Friar Placidus, when visiting the Buddhist Tibetan Monastery during the 1870’s, where the Gospel had been hidden, asked if he could bring the fragments to Church Authorities in Rome, and they agreed. Placidus, in the time it took him to travel back to Rome, translated some of the Gospel into Latin, which he read to a gathering of Cardinals.However, when the Cardinals became aware of the fact the Gospel contained doctrine that had not been approved by the First Council of Nicaea, 325 AD, they chose not to make it known; the reason being: they feared it would have an adverse effect on the Church, and decided the scroll should be secreted within Vatican archives.Fortunately, numerous fragments, over a period of time, were passed on by Emmanuel Swedenborg, Anna Kingsford, Edward Maitland, and Friar Placidus, and per a biography written by Samuel Hopgood Hart, Reverend G. J. R. Ouseley, structured the Gospel of the Holy Twelve from the translated fragments.
