Lost Bible chapter resurfaces after 1,500 years

A missing Bible chapter has finally been found after 1,500 years. 


The chapter, called the Secret verses, was found in a 3rd century manuscript inside the Vatican Library.

It features a new translation of chapters 11 through 12 from the Gospel of Matthew.

Scientists were only able to discover the text, written in ancient Syriac, after using ultraviolet photograpy inside the Gospel of Matthew.

In the original Greek translation, Matthew, a disciple of Jesus, wrote: ‘At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.’

But the newly discovered translation reads: ‘At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.’
