Shape-shifting Jesus spent his last supper with Pontius Pilate..DID JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE MARRY AND HAVE CHILDREN?
A 1,200-year-old Egyptian manuscript tells the story of the crucifixion with incredible plot twists – including the revelation that Jesus could change shape.
The ancient illuminated text’s claim explains why Judas used a kiss to betray Jesus, since the Christian Messiah had the ability to transform his appearance.
It also claims Jesus in fact spent his last supper with the man who ordered his execution, Roman prefect Pontius Pilate, who is said to have offered to sacrifice his own son in Jesus’ place.
And it defies the official Easter timeline by putting the day of Jesus’ arrest on Tuesday evening, rather than the canonically agreed Thursday.
The translation from the original Coptic has been revealed for the first time in a new book by Roelof van den Broek, emeritus professor of the History of Christianity at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
The newly-deciphered text explains that, far from a sign of affection or guilt, the kiss was Judas’ way of forestalling any shapeshifting confusion.
‘The Jews said to Judas: How shall we arrest him [Jesus], for he does not have a single shape but his appearance changes. Sometimes he is ruddy, sometimes he is white, sometimes he is red, sometimes he is wheat coloured, sometimes he is pallid like ascetics, sometimes he is a youth, sometimes an old man…’ it reads.
For a man who could walk on water, raise the dead, feed 5,000 people with just a single loaf of bread and a fish, and turn water into wine, such abilities are perhaps unsurprising.
But shapeshifting is not the only superpower the ancient manuscript attributes to Jesus – it also says that he could even turn himself invisible.
It claims that on the night before his crucifixion, Jesus ate dinner with Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect who decided his sentence – who, it is said, remarkably offered his son to be crucified in place of the Messiah.
Jesus declined the offer, explaining that if he could escape from his fate if he wanted to.
‘Pilate, then, looked at Jesus and, behold, he became incorporeal: He did not see him for a long time,’ the text says.
Later that night, according to the manuscript, Pilate and his wife dreamed of an eagle representing Jesus being killed.
The incredible text, which is thought to be some 1,200 years old, is written in the name of St Cyril of Jerusalem, although, Professor van den Broek says, it was probably written by someone else.
Back then it was looked after by monks at the Monastery of St Michael in the desert of north-west Egypt, south of Cairo.
The text was rediscovered in 1910 and, the following year, it was bought along with other manuscripts by the wealthy Wall Street financier JP Morgan.
Morgan’s collections were later given to the public and they are now kept in the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City.

lol?
getting bombarded with biblical stories in the press..
shape shifting jesus? really? shape shifting..ive heard that wording before somewhere..
click on the link and you see this..pushing the meme of a jesus line..the reason for the mary story is simple..and one guess where it would end up in todays world..the descendants of jesus christ himself?
and yeah..that satan looks just like barry..funny about that eh?

Oh yeah! for convenience of them. but nothing to do with truth. They report a fiction that interests them, while the reality is covered with a thick blanket that barely, if you can see the true profile. happening in contemporary history. is easy to imagine that the demons have been doing for thousands of years. Among other things, death sentence an innocent man for preaching a message of love and teach the concept with his acts: feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, healing the sick …
lately they prefer to remember the prostitute Magdalene .. Judas .. Pilate ..
nothing to do with love
we are onto them..
shape shifting isnt a new concept…whod a thunk.
icke. like a sandwich? a lie hidden between two truths? too much of what hesaid in early years is so alarmingly insightful.
but which is the lie?
Hello Seeker 401.
I’d like to know the original date of composition. The article says the manuscript is 1,200 years old, making it about AD 800, but it reads a bit like the Nag Hammadi Gnostic gospels. So it might be a late copy of something written any time between AD 200 and 400-500, or thereabouts.
It helps to keep in mind that if you approach the was-Jesus-real question as you would another question in History, then the “best” result you can obtain is “not proven”. There is no contemporary evidence, much of the miracle-story material is taken from older mythologies, and there is no more reason to take the four canonical gospels seriously than there is to take the Gnostic gospels seriously, although the Gnostic one can have interesting insights.
A simple, but parallel, case from History: the severe European winter of 1076, that is said to have affected Britain.
1. Contemporary sources describe it only affecting continental Europe.
2. Only sources written well after the event say that it affected Britain.
3. The sources mentioned in point 2 copy from a continental source that describe the winter’s continental impact.
Therefore it affected mainland Europe but not Britain.
Getting back to Gospel matters, it’s truly curious how a “new” one appears to pop up from time to time. I think the previous one was the Gospel of Judas.
All the best,
Andrew Farquharson.
nice comment andrew..there does seem to be a lot of gospels than just the standard 4..including the ones that were exempted by the RCC..the biblical apocrypha..
thoughts on the merovingian myth and jesus?
Hello again.
As to the Merovingians, there seems to be some old goddess religion connection going on here, especially considering the Long-haired nature of that line of kings. See Graves’ The White Goddess in this connection.
Something further. keep in mind that people, up till recently, could generally accommodate symbolic thought quite readily. Much of what this Coptic document contains may be, or could be, symbolic. For example, the “shape-shifting” may symbolize the variety of ways in which “Jesus” could be perceived and understood by those willing to engage with “his” teachings, which is in keeping with the many approaches to “Jesus” of the so-called Gnostics.
A major problem with popular and fundamental approaches to the Gospels is literalism. Most of what the Gospels (both the canonical and non-canonical ones) contain is meant symbolically (or it was borrowed from earlier mythologies). This applies to the Loaves-and-Fishes event, the virgin birth stuff, the miracle at Cana, the casting of demons into a herd f unfortunate pigs, etc etc.
If one approaches such documents as dreams really should be approached, then there is a lot less certainty, and a lot more of interest.
Thank you.
Andrew Farquharson.
literal interpretations are the domain of the fundamentalist generally and give way to legalism..i understand what you mean..
i have read a few different accounts that the merovingian line theme is to cash in on the biblical themes of apocalypse and return of the messiah and anitchrist..e.g. that william is a direct descendant of jesus christ etc..
do you see the symbolism here?
If the image fits, keep it. Just recently it was all ‘the second coming’ and ‘the messiah’ with Obama, yeah second coming of what? Lucifer?
LOL!
Ssssssssssss……
To me the Bible was like a telephone directory. to understand I had to call each number and connect directly to the matter, and the device to connect is within myself.
to understand Jesus, we must have the soul of a child. to understand the life of Michael Jackson, we must have the soul of a child, to understand me, you must have the soul of a child.
in case anyone needs it. Current example, I do not remember if I left something here once before: Michael Jackson was murdered, no one cares about the story that Michael left, sung. those who killed Michael, with the help of many collaborators expecting money, have changed the meaning of the work of Michael. some believe he did not die, others who are in heaven, others that he was in love with all the fans, especially themselves, some after more than three years began to believe he was killed, but they focus on the physician, the who believed what I said, they feared, and others mounted their site on their own looking for their own fans, while, all the demons they kept sticking their grubby hands everywhere …
and family, in all the times they’ve had to discover truth, have simply gone about their business: for the money. Now, the mother asks a lot of money and AEG, requested a paternity test, argues that children are not the children of Michael.
and the whole family knows who I am. but they do not care about the truth, do not mind the honesty of Michael or what Michael says in his songs. they know that proof would uncover the whole truth, is in my name, and accumulate a lot of money. in exchange for that money, Murray, put the last injection to Michael, the lethal.
from the beginning I sent emails, letters, to most of Michael’s family, offering my help, for truth and justice we all deserve. I understand the silence of the murderer and accomplices, but the rest, I find it harder.
This is a current example comparable with what they did with the story of Jesus. And Michael, did write, many, many songs, with his life and much of mine. Still, many are struggling to reverse that history. so no one will know the most important thing.
I know that someday I will know the feeling of happiness, I know, that love is already very close to me, and all this comes with the truth.
this time, not many years will pass so that the truth is revealed.
now is the time to believe that truth exists. looking with our heart, with our child’s soul. and close attention because we must beware of the poisons that they have prepared for us.
The poisons indeed.
yeah, they created thisconspiracy to be published in 2013…..hahaha
