The Gospel of the Kailedy

By Spencer Coffman

The Gospel of the Kailedy, which means Wise Strangers, is a compilation of The Book of John the Baptist and The Book of the Natsarim, commonly translated as Nasorine or Nazarene, and is usually published as one text. There are several copies available online both digitally, and in print. Most of those are public-domain works without modifications.

The book you are about to read is compiled and edited for your reading pleasure. The two books are separate and chapter and verse numbers are added for easy reference. The names of the Father and the Son are restored, while the other terms are in plain English.

The text is sectioned by topic and each section has a topic heading. Perhaps the most noteworthy modification is that Scripture references for as many sentences as possible have been painstakingly added to help display the parallels between this book and the Scriptures. This also helps support the validity of the text. In addition, the words spoken by our Savior are in red.

May this book bless you, your family, and all you share it with.

Introduction

Many texts claim that these books were saved from one of the Library of Alexandria fires that occurred after Jesus. Or from the Glastonbury Abbey fire in 1184. However, since no original manuscripts have ever been found, it is unlikely that any documents were saved. Rather, copies were rewritten and passed down through the generations.

This is not being presented as a complete and divinely inspired text. However, John 21:25 says that if everything the Messiah did were written down, the world would not have room for all of the books that would be filled. Therefore, many believe this book contains accounts that were not captured in the canonical gospels.

In this book, you will read parables not written in the canonical gospels, which will help you learn even more. You will also read parables from the canonical gospels along with additional information to deepen your knowledge.

This book of The Gospel of the Kailedy, which means - Wise Strangers, has been revised and edited to restore the names of the Father (Yahweh) and His Son (Yahushua). It is also separated into two sections. The Book of John the Baptist the Enlightened of Elohim and The Book of the Natsarim, commonly translated as Nasorine or Nazarene.

Perhaps the most noteworthy modification is that Scripture references for as many sentences as possible have been painstakingly added to help display the parallels between this book and the Scriptures. Thank you to those of you who assisted with the references but wish to remain anonymous. You know who you are. Thank you.

The text has been separated in to chapter and verse numbers for reference. Headings for each of the topics have been added to help you more easily navigate the text. We have also made the words of our Savior in red.

May this book be a blessing to you, your family, and all you share it with.

The Book of John the Baptist

The Enlightened of Elohim

Chapter 1

The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

1 These are the things written in his book concerning John of the Wilderness [John the Baptist], which was brought to these shores by Aristolas [Joseph of Arimathea] and is no longer with us. The father of John was Zachariah, son of Barachias; and he was a priest at the Temple, married to Elizabeth from the stock of Aaron [Luke 1:5].

2 They were both strong in the faith of their Elohim [God], obeying the laws revealed to His prophets, but childless and well advanced in years. Elizabeth had visited many temples, praying for a child, but hitherto her pleas had gone unanswered [Luke 1:6-7].

3 In the fifth month of the year, when fire was burnt before Gabriel in the court within the outer walls of the Temple enclosure - called the Court of the Gentiles - Zachariah was a priest at the altar of incense. Then a strange thing happened while he was alone inside, the people being outside praying. An angel appeared on the right side of the altar, and a voice said, Have no fear of me, for I come to say your prayers have not gone unheeded and your wife will bear a son [Luke 1:8-13].

4 He will become a great teacher, filled with the power of the Holy Spirit; but you must bring him up in the ways of the Natsarim [Nazarite or Nazarene] [Acts 24:5]. He will herald the coming of an Enlightener who will turn men from wrongful ways, making them upright and strong in spirit [Numbers 6, Matthew 2:23, Luke 1:15-16].

5 Zachariah listened, too frightened to speak, but thought, How can this be when we are both weighed down with years [Luke 1:18]?

6 The angel said, He will save many from the effects of ignorance, leading men back to the fold of Elohim, whom he will serve with the spirit and power which was once Elijah’s. He will turn the hearts of fathers towards the welfare of their children, and those who have fallen away from the teachings of their fathers towards the wisdom of the Torah [Law]. He will go before the people like a brazier-bearer before a caravan, like a prophet of old, to make ready a people purified and dedicated to The Most High Elohim [Luke 1:17].

7 When Elizabeth knew she was with child, she went to the Temple and gave thanks to the Elohim who had caused her to conceive, dedicating the child to Him, according to the custom. Thus it had been with Samuel, who was given back to his Father for service in the sanctuary [1 Samuel 1:11].

The Birth of John the Baptist

8 Now when her time came, the wife of Zachariah gave birth to a son. And there was no midwife to bring him into the world, neither was a birthbell made for him. Though all others wished him to be called after the kindred of his father, Elizabeth said he should be called after hers, and he was named John [Luke 1:57-60].

Zechariah’s Song

9 At the time of circumcision, when many people were standing about, Zachariah became filled with the inflowing of the Holy Spirit and, under its influence, spoke as follows [Luke 1:67]:

10 Blessed be the Elohim of our people, who has given them the means of their redemption. He has brought forth a spring of salvation for us, fulfilling the words spoken by the mouths of His inspired prophets which have been since the beginning, that we should be delivered from the hands of our enemies and saved from those who hate us [Luke 1:68-71].

11 The child of my body shall go before the people, proclaiming the way of Yahweh [YHWH or The LORD] and giving knowledge of salvation for His people, with the remission of their misdeeds through repentance and reparation. Like the light of the sun on high, he has descended to give light to those who sit in darkness. He will console them in the shadow of death and guide the feet of men into the ways of peace [Luke 1:76-79].

12 As it is written in the books of the Temple, ‘Hear the voices crying out of Levi and Judah, never turning away, for from their loins shall come the chastening rod of the Highest Elohim. He will raise up from Levi a priest above all other priests, and from Judah someone greater than a king who will deliver my people’ [Testament of Levi].

People Hear of John the Baptist

13 The people, hearing these and many other things, were amazed and stored them up in their hearts, saying one to the other, This is no ordinary child, and surely he will grow up to be an unusual man; therefore, let us watch and wait for some interesting developments [Luke 1:65-66].

14 Among those who heard was one with an unbridled tongue who spread the word of these things abroad [James 1:26]. And between the ears and mouths of many people, the events became magnified in such a way as to cause concern in high places.

Herod’s Plot

15 When the Herod who was king heard these things, he deliberated with the Council; for all awaited the coming of the Messiah anointed by Yahweh, but the learned priests said this could not be he whom they awaited. For, said they, it was not possible that one with his blood could be either the Messiah or the Deliverer [Genesis 49:10, Isaiah 59:20, Romans 11:26]; such would be an abomination.

16 Then Herod said, That may be, but let us bring the child into our own fold; for if perchance he be the Messiah, it is well for him to be raised among us. But if it is otherwise, no harm is done. And in days such as these, it is well to be prudent.

17 Now, word of these intentions was sped out by a maidservant, passing through the ears of slaves to the kindred of Elizabeth, who hastened to warn her. They said, This is a day of woe, for men come from Herod to take away your child and offer him up as a sacrifice.

Elizabeth Flees

18 Elizabeth, in fear for her child, gathered him up, saying to a manservant, Take all that can be carried and meet us at such a place, and then she went to Zachariah.

19 Elizabeth found him at his place in the Temple and said, Come, my husband, let us flee quickly with the babe, for here he is in danger. Tarry for nothing; unless we make haste, our little one will be lost to us, he who is the treasure of our life and the hope of our people.

20 Zachariah said, How can I leave my post in the Temple to go into a strange land where perchance people will have no knowledge of Yahweh [Genesis 20:11]?

21 Then Elizabeth said, O my husband, if you will not come, tell me what I must do to save my baby. I cannot waste time here when men come to put him to death.

22 He answered her, Flee to the wilderness of Sheba where, by the will of Yahweh, you will both survive. If they come seeking to find him here, or expect to find him through me, then my blood will be shed instead of his; for it is blood they want.

23 Then Zachariah took the babe into a place beside the altar and kissed and blessed him, saying, My son, treasure of my latter years, who gladdened my heart and made light the burden of days, now my cup of sorrow overflows. I am to be cut off from the pleasure of holding you; no longer may I feel my heart leap with gladness when I see your face. You are too young for my words to reach your understanding, and it is not my hand which will guide your feet, but go out strong in your dedication to Yahweh.

24 To Elizabeth he said, May our Elohim and the Elohim of our fathers protect you.

25 Elizabeth said, Dedicated priest and husband, pray for us both, that we may not be taken, and I shall be given strength to overcome the difficulties of the wilderness.

26 Zachariah said, He who gave us a child in our old age will not take it away from you; neither will the child perish. May the protective power of Yahweh overshadow your journey.

The Murder of Zachariah

27 Now the men sent out by Herod were of his guard, and when they came to Zachariah and asked concerning the child, he did not lie, but said, His mother has taken him and fled in fear into the wilderness.

28 They who had come returned to Herod and said, The child has been taken into the wilderness by its mother. No food or water is there, but many wild beasts; and the woman, being old, surely both must perish.

29 Then those who had the ear of Herod said, Surely there is something more to all this. Is it likely the woman would have fled friendless? Let us send other men, not of the guard, who will act differently.

30 Herod, being troubled in his heart, agreed. Three men with knives came to Zachariah before sunrise, saying, Herod has commanded us, ‘Tell Zachariah his life is in my hand, and I order him to speak truly concerning the whereabouts of his son.’

31 Zachariah answered, I am a dedicated servant of Yahweh and obliged to continually attend His Temple; therefore, my son’s whereabouts are not within my knowledge.

32 They said, Our knives will open your mouth.

33 But Zachariah was unafraid and replied, If my blood is shed, Yahweh Himself will bear witness to the deed, and innocent blood never cries out to Him in vain [Genesis 4:10].

34 When Zachariah saw he spoke in vain and no words would turn their intentions, he took refuge at the sanctuary behind the altar, his hands on the horns [Matthew 23:35]. But they stabbed him with knives so he died, for they were strangers in ignorance of the Torah.

35 When the morning hour of salutation came and the priests went out, it was seen that Zachariah failed to pay the accustomed homage, and they asked among themselves why he tarried. Then one went from them into the sanctuary of Zachariah and saw his body lying bloodied beside the altar.

36 A voice was heard saying, Zachariah is dead and lies in his blood, but the stain shall not be removed until the coming of One who will avenge the deed. Woe to those who shed innocent blood [Genesis 9:6, Numbers 35:33]. Woe to those who let it remain unavenged [Deuteronomy 21:7-9]. Woe, for One comes who will destroy the Temple rites [Isaiah 29:1].

37 On hearing this, the priests ran out, crying, Zachariah is dead, and an avenging spirit has taken up residence in his place. But the others went in and saw the cloths about the altar were torn and the carved woodwork broken. Report of these things was made to the people, who mourned three days and nights, after which
