The Present: The Final Day

From the 5th Gospel: Judas:3:1 And then, the Voice was no longer heard by any. Our Third Consciousness, though, could write and read the Word. Rulers who were anointed and rulers who were chosen arose. And the Written Word said: I Will Do This.

The Mato Grasso Region of the Amazon.

“There have always been rumors about a Fifth gospel,” Angelique said. She’d finished a small bowl of food. Gates’ and DiSalvo’s remained untouched in front of them.

“There are rumors about everything,” Judas said. “In fact, there were more than five gospels if you use the term somewhat loosely. Thomas supposedly wrote one, except it was pulled together and formally written around one hundred and forty AD, long after Thomas had stopped breathing. So one has to wonder about the veracity of that document. It was similar to Matthew’s—remarkably similar, perhaps too much so—although there were some differences. There were those afterwards who took others’ names for their work to try to legitimize their ramblings.”

Judas pushed away the bowl of unnamed ‘delicacies.’ “What you should know is that no one sat down right after that fateful Passover and started penning a gospel. Why should they? They—we’d—been there. We’d all witnessed a great portion of Jesus’s actions. People back then were storytellers, not storywriters. There wasn’t much need to write about what had happened. Word of mouth spread the story all around Jerusalem and then out into the countryside.

“In those days—” Judas got a distant look on his face as he went back into his vast memory—“there was no CNN; no newspapers. Just people speaking. And you would be amazed how quickly a story could spread back then. And how well people could tell those stories. It was important to remember things. You couldn’t Google them. You had to know things.

“But once the word started spreading out further, some people began to realize there was a need to write it down because the story was getting distorted and changed. Do you know how many different sects of Christians there were early on? How many were trying to use what Jesus taught to incite a revolt against the Romans, which would have been the exact opposite of what Jesus preached and desired?”

DiSalvo spoke up, finally becoming engaged and desiring to show his knowledge. “Most scholars place the four gospels as having been written from seventeen to thirty-two years after the resurrection.”

Judas ignored his emphasis on the four. “That’s roughly true. And they were more in the form of long letters written to those far from Jerusalem so that those who had heard the rumors of Jesus and his teachings could be told the truth, or at least the truth as the other Apostles knew it. Of course, none knew as much of the truth as I.” Judas pulled a small, battered black book out of his shirt pocket. “Let’s see. Luke, who was not an apostle, at the very beginning of his gospel
