The earliest gospel was strongly anti-Jewish

Post by Giuseppe »

If even the lost "Gospel according to the Hebrews" did include the denial of Jesus by Peter - Rylands docet - then even his Jewish-Christian author used a previous Gospel as source that was ultimately very anti-Jewish in essentia.

Most modern scholars would not assign the Jewish-Christian passage attested for the denial of Jesus by Peter to the gospel of the Hebrews. It comes from marginal notes for Matthew 26.74 in miniscules 4, 273, 566, 899, and 1424, and is often assigned to the gospel of the Nazoreans, if at all; unless Rylands had a different passage in mind, one of which I am not aware.
