Gospel of the Twelve Holy Apostles
Written in Syriac, the Gospel of the Twelve Holy Apostles survives in the incomplete codex Harvard Syriac 93, and by palaeography, J. Rendel Harris dates it to the middle of the 8th century. It is followed by three brief apocalypses that are connected in the narrative. It begins with widely-known details from the canonical gospels, leading up to Christ’s resurrection and ascension, and is followed by an apostolic prayer, requesting that the LORD reveal the end of time.
