Secret Gospel of Mark - Jesus initiated his apostles in secret, mystical rituals at night ...

The Mar Saba letter' is a Greek document which scholar Morton Smith reported in 1973 that he had discovered in the library of the Mar Saba monastery in 1958. It discusses a "Secret Gospel of Mark" and quotes two excerpts from this gospel, one of which mentions "the mystery of the kingdom of God." Clement begins by commending Theodore's actions against the Carpocratians, a heretical sect. He then addresses questions posed by Theodore regarding the Gospel of Mark, a secret variant of which the Carpocratians claim to have. Clement admits to knowledge of a second secret or mystical version of the gospel, written by Mark for "those being perfected". However, he asserts that the version promoted by the Carpocratians is not accurate; they have corrupted the original with false additions. To illustrate this, two ostensibly genuine excerpts from the gospel are supplied.

Through linguistic investigations, Morton Smith argued that the discovery is genuine. He indicated that the two quotations go back to the original Aramaic version of Mark, which served as a source for the canonical Mark, but the quotations also reference the Gospel of John. According to Smith, the historical Jesus was a magus, who baptised the resurrected dead man in a possible same-sex act, and the libertinism of Jesus was then later suppressed by James, the brother of Jesus, and Paul.

In "The Acts of John" §113 (down below) John the beloved disciple states: http://www.gnosis.org/library/actjohn.htm

"O thou who hast kept me until this hour for thyself and untouched by union with a woman: who when in my youth I desired to marry didst appear unto me and say to me: John I have need of thee: who didst prepare for me also a sickness of the body: who when for the third time I would marry didst forthwith prevent me, and then at the third hour of the day saidst unto me on the sea: John, if thou hadst not been mine, I would have suffered thee to marry: who for two years didst blind me (or afflict mine eyes), and grant me to mourn and entreat thee: who in the third year didst open the eyes of my mind and also grant me my visible eyes: who when I saw clearly didst ordain that it should be grievous to me to look upon a woman: who didst save me from the temporal fantasy and lead me unto that which endureth always: who didst rid me of the foul madness that is in the flesh: ..."

Amazon Review:
There are a number of reasons to praise this work. Here are a few of the more outstanding: First is the intellectual point of departure of the book. In large part, work on the "Secret Gospel" has been agenda-driven. Most critics of Smith's discovery and his interpretation of its significance have merely written in support of their "religious commitments" (to use Brown's very diplomatic terminology). Additionally, the majority have more or less closely followed Smith's interpretation of the evidence to the detriment of their own analyses. In contrast, Brown has had the temerity and good sense to step unencumbered from under Smith's shadow and address the textual evidence afresh, and has done so without disparaging the erudition or intelligence of Morton Smith. This approach has yielded rich rewards. Using a form of narrative analysis not contemplated when Smith published, Brown produces an examination of the text of Mark that moves well beyond the relatively superficial elements of vocabulary and syntax to reveal deeply embedded methods of Mark's narrative technique. The results of his study strongly confirm the authenticity of Clement's letter and the Markan fragments it contains, and offer a persuasive scenario for the composition and preservation of both. A further item of note is the clarification of mustikos, one of the words used by Clement to describe the nature of the longer gospel."
