THE EPISTLES OF JESUS CHRIST &ABGARUS KING OF EDESSA.
CHAPTER I.
A copy of a lettler written by King Abgarus to Jesus;
and sent to him by Ananius, his footman, to Jerusalem,
5 inviting him to Edessa.
ABGARUS, king of Edessa, to Jesus the good Saviour, who appears at Jerusalem, greeting.
2 I have been informed concerning you and your cures, which are performed without the use of medicines
and herbs.
3 For it is reported, that you cause the blind to see, the lame to walk, do both cleanse lepers, and cast out
unclean spirits and devils, and restore them to health who have been long diseased; and raiseth up the dead;
4 All which when I heard, I was pursuaded of one of these two, namely, either that you are God himself
descended from heaven; who do these things, or the Son of God.
5 On this account therefore I have written to you, earnestly to desire you would take the trouble of a journey
hither, and cure a disease which I am under.
6 For I hear the Jews ridicule you and, intend you mischief.
7 My city is indeed small, but neat, and large enough for us both.
CHAPTER II.
The answer of Jesus by Ananias the footman
to Abgarus the king,
3 declining to visit Edessa.
ABGARUS, you are happy, forasmuch as you have believed on me, whom you have not seen.

Forbidden Gospels and Epistles, v5
2 For it is written concerning me, that those who have seen me should not believe on me, that they who have
not seen might believe and live.
3 As to that part of your letter, which relates to my giving you a visit, I must inform you, that I must fulfil all
the ends of my mission in this country, and after that be received up again to him who sent me.
4 But after my ascension I will send one of my disciples, who will cure your disease, and give life to you, and
all that are with you.
REFERENCES TO THE EPISTLES OF JESUS CHRIST AND
ABGARUS KING OF EDESSA.
[The first writer who makes any mention of the Epistles that passed between Jesus Christ and Abgarus, is
Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea, in Palestine, who flourished in the early part of the fourth century. For their
genuineness, he appeals to the public registers and records of the City of Edessa in Mesopotamia, where
Abgarus reigned, and where he affirms that he found them written in the Syriac language. He published a
Greek translation of them, in his Ecclesiastical History. The learned world has been much divided on this
subject; but, notwithstanding the erudite Grabe, with Archbishop Cave, Dr, Parker, and other divines, have
strenuously contended for their admission into the canon of Scripture, they are deemed apocryphal. The Rev.
Jeremiah Jones observes, that the common people in England have this Epistle in their houses in many
places, fixed in a frame, with the picture of Christ before it; and that they generally, with much honesty and
devotion, regard it as the word of God, and the genuine Epistle of Christ.]
THE EPISTLE OF
ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE LAODICEANS.
1 He salutes the brethren;
3 exhorts them to persevere in good works,
4 and not to be moved by vain speaking.
6 Rejoices in his bonds,
10 desires them to live in the fear of the Lord.
PAUL an Apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, to the brethren which are at Laodicea.
2 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank Christ in every prayer of mine, that ye may continue and persevere in good works, looking for that
which is promised in the day of judgment.
4 Let not the vain speeches of any trouble you, who pervert the truth, that they may draw you aside from the
truth of the Gospel which I have preached.
5 And now may God grant, that my converts may attain to a perfect knowledge of the truth of the Gospel, be
beneficent, and doing good works which accompany salvation.
6 And now my bonds, which I suffer in Christ, are manifest, in which I rejoice and am glad. For I know that
this shall turn to my salvation for ever, which shall be through your prayer, and the supply of the Holy Spirit.
8 Whether I live or die, to live shall be a life to Christ, to die will be joy.
9 And our Lord will grant us his mercy, that ye may have the same love, and be like−minded.
THE EPISTLES OF JESUS CHRIST &ABGARUS KING OF EDESSA.
