Εὐαγγέλιον κατ᾽ Αἰγυπτίους

Cristo Pantocrátor del Sinaí
byJesus of Nazareth

Its fragments preserve a dialogue between Jesus and Salome on when the power of death will end, with an ascetic message: the end will come when the distinction between male and female is undone. It was used by Encratite groups that rejected marriage.

Authorship note

A lost Greek gospel known from quotations in Clement of Alexandria; it is dated to the first half of the second century. It should not be confused with the Coptic treatise of the same name from Nag Hammadi, which is a different work.
