Gospel of the Seventy

Gospel of the Seventy

The Gospel of the Seventy is a currently lost text from the New Testament apocrypha. The title of the text refers to the number of disciples of Jesus after His resurrection, often thought elsewhere to be 72 (a number reflecting the number of grandchildren of Jacob, sometimes also said to be 70).

The Manicheans appear to have referred to the Gospel of Mani by this title, and as such it may be the same text.
