well this next story is really start
some contribution a lot of people will
be talking about this it's a new book
making some shocking claims about the
life of Jesus Christ according to the
lost gospel Jesus married Mary Magdalene
and they had two children
the authors even say they have evidence
to back up their claims ABC's dan harris
has our story
it's the controversial claim at the
heart of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code
Magdalene was Jesus's wife and this
morning an explosive new interpretation
of ancient texts agrees saying Jesus
Christ not only married prostitute Mary
Magdalene but also had two children with
her instead a living descendant of Jesus
Christ would she destroy faith
in the lost gospel due out this
Wednesday authors argue that the
original Virgin Mary was Jesus's wife
not his mother and that there was an
assassination attempt on jesus's life 13
years before he was crucified these are
allegations that are bound to be
controversial but also bound to get a
lot of attention
the writers tell ABC News they spent six
years working on the book basing their
arguments on an ancient manuscript
dating back nearly 1500 years when they
say they found in a british library
translating the text from an aramaic
dialect into english i don't think that
there's any credibility in these claims
at all there is simply no evidence in
this text or anywhere else that jesus
was married to Mary Magdalene much less
that they had a couple of children this
is not the first assertion that Jesus
was married a fragment of an ancient
Egyptian papyrus known as the Gospel of
Jesus his wife was unveiled in 2012
containing the phrase jesus said to them
my wife although the document was
written centuries after Jesus died the
difficulty is that when those claims
were investigated it became pretty clear
fairly quickly that what we were looking
at was in fact a modern forgery for Good
Morning America dan Harris ABC News New
York

discovery

week and will announce the names of
Jesus's alleged children well that won't
