For nearly four decades, I have been driven by a passion to recover the original Gospel once used by the earliest Jewish followers of Yeshua—the ancient Nazarenes. That Gospel, known historically as the Gospel according to the Hebrews, was referred to by early Church Fathers as:
“The especial delight of those of the Hebrews who have accepted Messiah.” — Eusebius, Eccl. Hist. 3:25:5
“The Gospel which the Nazarenes and Ebionites use.” — Jerome, On Matthew 12:13
This gospel predates our canonical Gospels. According to Jerome and others, it was likely the original unabridged Hebrew version of Matthew, and the common source behind both Matthew and Luke. Fragments of this gospel have survived across centuries—quoted in the writings of early Church Fathers, scattered throughout Hebrew, Syriac, Greek, and Latin sources.
After years of collecting and analyzing these fragments, I am now nearing completion of a massive and historic project:
A full reconstruction of the Gospel according to the Hebrews, presented in its original Hebrew alongside a literal English translation.
This has never been done before—not at this scale and not with this level of scholarship and care.
This gospel gives us an unfiltered window into the faith and practice of the earliest disciples—those who still spoke Hebrew and lived as Torah-observant Jews, even as they followed Yeshua as Messiah. It sheds light on passages found only in Luke or only in Matthew, and confirms that the canonical gospels were each shaped with a specific audience in mind, drawing from this more ancient source.
As I write this, the manuscript is nearing completion. I hope to publish it within the next week or so—and I truly believe it may be the most important work I’ve ever produced in the field of Scripture Restoration and Nazarene Judaism.
But I need your help.
This past week, we suffered a major financial setback. A ghostwriting book deal that would have paid our rent for the next six months fell through unexpectedly—due to a death in the client’s family and related expenses. That project was our financial lifeline, and now we are in serious need.
To make matters worse, I’ve spent the last two days fighting with my wife’s insurance company trying to get her reinstated with backdated Medicare coverage. The process has been grueling and time-consuming. While we succeeded in getting her in to see a much-needed specialist, we had to pay out of pocket—and we are now days away from August 1st with no way to pay our rent.
I am continuing to move forward with this historic Gospel project, but the reality is—we urgently need your support.
If this work has ever blessed you… if you believe in the mission of restoring the ancient paths of Nazarene Judaism… if you want to be a part of this groundbreaking moment in Scripture restoration—

Why does this sound no more than a scam to take money from those who truly believe in God? Jesus would tell you to never ask for money but instead to work as a team together to achieve a greater good. As much as I would love to see the original text of The Gospel of the Hebrews, you will never be able to reproduce it. If you can you will need evidence to where you got the texts because no one will believe you without proof. If you have your proof, then you will have truly achieved history. The fact that this book has been lost since the 4th century it will be near impossible to truly reconstruct. Not without Gods true intervention. I would love to find more texts and scriptures from the time of Jesus and before when God was more active and visible to human form. Lifting the veil of heaven or the spiritual world. You find a way to lift this veil without dying, you will have achieved greatness.
Actually this project was completed and published, including source documentation, in English and Biblical Hebrew a few weeks ago:
