Speculation is a hot air balloon, the more hot air the higher it goes and these few lines have already been turned into a “Gospel”.

Some gospels are shorter than others. Thirty-three words could be thirty three chapters and the same number of verses. It might be worth it just for the simplicity of footnotes.

Of course, the Catholic version will require more than thirty three words of introduction to this "Book." We'll have Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and...um...let's see...what was her name, again???

They can add it to the King James version. It can be a publisher's dream. Consider all those hotels and motels that will need to replace their inventory.

I am a little confused, though. Did the wife precede Jesus into the next dimension? If not, why didn't she show up at the Crucifixion? Maybe she was at the mall looking for new shoes.

Something tells me they won't be calling an ecumenical council to sanction this gospel.

My guess is that somebody mis-translated “... the Bride of Christ” - as meaning Jesus got married.

A lot of things can get lost in translation.

Oh yeah, the “Bride of Christ” is actually the “CHUCH”, or those who choose to be followers or believers in Jesus, the Son of God; Savior, Redeemer. Rom 10:9-10

I’m looking forward to a closer dispassionate examination of the papyrus.
