The Gospel of the Twelve (Template:Lang-el), possibly also referred to as the Gospel of the Apostles, is a lost gospel mentioned by Origen in Homilies in Luke as part of a list of heretical works.
Gospel of the Twelve (Origen)
Schneemelcher's standard edition of the New Testament Apocrypha states that Jerome incorrectly identified the Gospel of the Twelve, which he referred to as the Gospel according to the Apostles, with the Gospel of the Hebrews (Dial. adv. Pelag. III 2), whereas Origen clearly distinguished between them (Homilies in Luke 1.1). A relationship has been postulated between this otherwise unknown gospel text and the Gospel of the Ebionites.[1]
Gospel of the Apostles (Jerome)
Scholars Cassels (1874) and Parker (1940) considered the Gospel of the Apostles mentioned by Jerome and Ambrose to be a different "edition" of the Gospel of the Hebrews.[2][3]
