	The Gospel of the Ebionites
		Whereas the Gospel of the Ebionites is indeed closely related to Matthew, examination of the extant fragments reveals that much of the text is a harmony, composed in Greek, of the Gospels Matthew and Luke (and, probably, the Gospel of Mark as well).
		The Gospel of the Ebionites omits the infancy narratives.
		The Gospel according to the Twelve, or 'of the Twelve', mentioned by Origen (Ambrose and Jerome) is identified by Zahn with the Ebionite Gospel.

	Gospel of the Ebionites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gospel of the Ebionites is a text sharing an affinity with the Gospel of the Hebrews and the Gospel of the Nazoraeans.
		Epiphanius, whose writing is the main source for finding fragments of the Gospel of the Ebionites, emphasises the distinction between the Gospel of the Ebionites and that of the Nazoraeans.
		According to Epiphanius, the Nazoraeans were considered part of the Christian orthodoxy, whereas the Ebionites were considered heretics, and so it is clear that there must have been theological and doctrinal differences between the two, related, Gospels, possibly over the Virgin Birth[1] which the Ebionites rejected.

	Christian Ebionites: The Original Christians?
		They used an early Gospel of Matthew, and their beliefs are in accordance with the earliest reports of the gospels of Luke and Matthew, and with Jewish prophecy.
		The Ebionites, however, maintained that their views were authorized by the original disciples, especially by Peter and Jesus' own brother, James, head of the Jerusalem church after the resurrection.
		Ebionite Christianity did not suffer these problems: Animal sacrifices were made to God but were never perfect; only when (finally) a human who followed the Law perfectly sacrificed himself, was the ultimate sacrifice made, thus ending the need for sacrifices.

	Gospel - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		It begins with the prophecy concerning the `seed of the woman' (Genesis 3:15), and the promise concerning Abraham, in whom all the nations should be blessed (Genesis 12:3; 15:5) and is also indicated in Acts 10:43 and in the argument in Ro 4.
		In another it is called "the gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24); in another "the gospel of peace" (Ephesians 6:15); in another "the gospel of your salvation" (Ephesians 1:13); and in yet another "the glorious gospel" (2 Corinthians 4:4 the King James Version).
		"The gospel is the gratuitous promise of the remission of sins for Christ's sake." To hold tenaciously that in this gospel we have a supernatural revelation is in perfect consistency with the spirit of scientific inquiry.

	Apocryphal Gospels - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The Ebionites may be described generally as Jewish Christians who aimed at maintaining as far as possible the doctrines and practices of the Old Testament and may be taken as representing originally the extreme conservative section of the Council of Jerusalem mentioned in Acts 15:1-29.
		A Gospel of Barnabas and Gospel of Bartholomew are condemned in the decree of Pope Gelasius.
		In all of the gospels of this class it is noteworthy that considering the desire of the writers of non-canonical gospels to multiply miracles, no notice is taken of the period in the life of Christ that intervened between his twelfth year and his thirtieth.

		Also the gospel which is named according to the Hebrews, and which was recently translated by me into Greek and Latin, which also Origen often used, refers after the resurrection of the savior: But the Lord, when he had given the shroud to the servant of the priest, went to James and appeared to him.
		In which [gospel] it must be noted that, wherever the evangelist, whether from his own person or from the Lord and savior, makes use of testimonies of the old scriptures, he does not follow the authority of the seventy translators, but the Hebrew.
		Likewise in the gospel of the Nazoraeans it is read that a lintel of the temple of infinite magnitude was broken at the death of Christ.

	Matthew, the Gospel of - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		In character, the Gospel, like those of the other evangelists, is only a chrestomathy, a selection from the great mass of oral tradition concerning the doings and sayings of Christ current in apostolic and early Christian circles, chosen for the special purpose which the evangelist had in view.
		The special purpose which the writer had in view in his Gospel is nowhere expressly stated, as is done, e.g., by the writer of the Fourth Gospel in John 20:30,31, concerning his book, but it can readily be gleaned from the general contents of the book, as also from specific passages.
		In this respect the Gospel can be regarded as both apologetic and polemical in its aim, in harmony with which also is its vivid portraiture to the growing hostility of the Jews to Christ and to His teachings which, in the latter part of Matthew, appears as intense as it does in John.

	Were the Ebionites a Legalistic Group?
		Certainly the Ebionites were Jewish Christian and in some sense "law-observant"; but they were not "conservative" in the sense of strictly observing the commands of the Old Testament as this article states, nor is their any record of their criticisms of other Christians for ignoring the purity regulations of the Torah.
		The Ebionite view is underscored by the Ebionite gospel quoted by Epiphanius, where Jesus says, "I have come to destroy the sacrifices" (Panarion 30.16.5), and the Ebionite Jesus indignantly rejects eating meat at the Passover: "Have I desired meat with desire to eat this Passover with you?" (Panarion 30.22.4).
		It is possible, of course, that the Lord's Supper (bread and a drink, according to the gospels and early tradition) was precisely this Passover observance, as the synoptic gospels assert.

	The gospel of the Ebionites.
		The Ebionites indeed, using only that gospel which is according to Matthew, are convinced by that alone, not presuming rightly about the Lord.
		The church has four gospels, heresy many, from among which a certain one is written according to the Egyptians, another according to the twelve apostles.
		In the gospel among them named according to Matthew, but not all very complete, but illegitimized and adulterated, but they call it the Hebraic [gospel], it states: There was a certain man, Jesus by name, and he himself was about thirty years old, who elected us.

	R. Blackhirst, "Barnabas and the Gospels: Was there an Early Gospel of Barnabas?"
		Ebionite literature, the Clementina, however, reports that this Barsabbas was in fact Barnabas and that Barnabas defeated Matthias in the election.
		The Barnabas gospel is replete with extra-canonical material stemming from the Elijah cycle in Kings and several important canonical episodes have been changed or 'corrected' to conform to stories, themes or motifs from the Elijah cycle.
		Most gospels, of course, are written in the name of one or another of Jesus' immediate disciples, but Luke's Gospel is sufficient evidence to show that those who knew the immediate disciples, or received their witness, qualify as well.

		Gospel of the Ebionites (Greek or Latin, English).
		When it comes to the Ebionite gospel in 30.13, however, he calls it not all very complete (ουχ ολω πληρεστατω), which must indicate that the Nazoraean and the Ebionite gospels were two different texts, despite their both being called according to the Hebrews, and despite the fact that Jerome appears to confuse the two.

	who are the ebionites and what should they mean to the christian?
		They followed the Mosaic law with great zeal, and had their own "Gospel" known in various contexts as the 'Gospel of the Hebrews', 'Gospel of the Ebionites' or the 'Gospel of the Nazarenes'.
		Eusebius, the most renowned church historian, mocks the Ebionite views (remember he is a Gentile in the Western Church), saying that their name comes from their poor and "mean" opinion of Jesus.
		In his book describing the background of the Ebionites, R Eisenman in The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered writes that James (the 'Zaddik' or 'Zadok', meaning Righteous) was the leader of the Jerusalem Church in the middle of the first century (40-60 AD approx.) The branch which was retrospectively called Jewish Christianity in Palestine.

	Ebionism, Ebionites - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The sect in question seems to have assumed the name Ebionites, "the poor ones," from the first Beatitude (Matthew 5:3), claiming to be the continuation into the new dispensation of the "poor and needy" of the Psalms, eg.
		The Ebionites seem to have held under varying forms a doctrine of the Trinity, and their holding it is an evidence that the church at large held it, not of course in that definiteness it assumed later, but essentially.
		Were the Gospel according to the Hebrews to be found, or a manuscript of Hegesippus, we should be in a better position to decide a number of questions.

	Matthew, The Gospel Of (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		Origen, in the beginning of the 3rd century could speak of it as the first of "the four Gospels, which alone are received without dispute by the church of God under heaven" (in Eusebius, Historia Ecclesiastica, VI, 25).
		The special purpose which the writer had in view in his Gospel is nowhere expressly stated, as is done, e.g., by the writer of the Fourth Gospel in John 20:30-31, concerning his book, but it can readily be gleaned from the general contents of the book, as also from specific passages.
		The traditional view that Matthew wrote primarily to prove that in Jesus of Nazareth is to be found the fulfillment and realization of the Messianic predictions of the Old Testament prophets and seers is beyond a doubt correct.

	Nicene and Ante-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol I: The Church History of Eusebius.: Chapter XXVII
		The name Ebionite was probably used in Jerusalem as a designation of the Christians there, either applied to them by their enemies as a term of ridicule on account of their poverty in worldly goods, or, what is more probable, assumed by themselves as a term of honor,—“the poor in spirit,”—or (as Epiphanius, XXX.
		It was a general characteristic of the sect of the Ebionites as known to the Fathers, from the time of Origen on, and but a continuation of the enmity to Paul shown by the Judaizers during his lifetime.
		The question again arises whether Eusebius is referring here to the second class of Ebionites only, and is contrasting their conduct in regard to Sabbath observance with that of the first class, or whether he refers to all Ebionites, and contrasts them with the Jews.

		They use the Gospel according to Matthew only, and repudiate the Apostle Paul, maintaining that he was an apostate from the law.
		The Ebionites, following these, assert that He was begotten by Joseph; thus destroying, as far as in them lies, such a marvelous dispensation of God, and setting aside the testimony of the prophets which proceeded from God.
		But the heresy of the Ebionites, as it is called, asserts that Christ was the son of Joseph and Mary, considering him a mere man, and insists strongly on keeping the law in a Jewish manner, as we have seen already in this history.

		Thomas contextualizes sayings by adding lots of inauthentic sayings (and organizing by catchwords, a very weak modality indeed.) The inauthentic sayings are supposed to make a somewhat coherent point which can then be the hermeneutic guide to understanding the authentic sayings.Thus Thomas isn't meaningless to me this week.
		What Mark does is to dissolve the contexts of his sources so that sayings revert to their status as isolated elements.
		This saying with the "my Father" also shows up in the Gospel of > the Ebionites, further suggesting connections to proto-Mt. #4 Th was a source available to all three synoptic evanglists.
