The Gospel of the Twelve (Template:Lang-el), also referred to as the Gospel of the Apostles, is a lost gospel preserved in fragments within the writings of the Church Fathers. This non-Canonical Gospel gives an account of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It details his story from the events of his Baptism to his Resurrection.

Nazarene Community

Early Jewish Christians were often called Nazarenes. The term Nazarene was first applied to Jesus of Nazareth.[1] After his death, it was the term used to identify the predominantly Jewish sect that believed Jesus was the Messiah. When this sect branched into the Gentile world, they became known as Christians. [2]
