The relic was ‘rediscovered’ in the depositum of Ankaran Justice Palace, the ancient version of bible is believed to be written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.

   How is the Vatican “in shock?” It looks as if they are quite calm.

   Aramaic language also is used in Assyrian Church of East.

   It’s best to be extremely skeptical of such claims until trained experts have applied a series of tests for authenticity: does the writing look like Syriac writing from the proposed century? Did people in that time and place have access to the materials that are found in the ink and binding? Are there any blatant anachronisms? And so forth. I’ll believe it when my Syriac teacher believes it.

   the last line reads :”pshet alpa o khmshama al maran” and that means was written 1500AD
   and even it mention that it was written in Nineveh ( Mosul)

   It is very interesting, and I am very glad that the Assirian Church of East is going to claim it. It should be returned to its legitmate church.

   Sounds like a perfect setup for the Chrislam deception…

   The writing at the bottom is readable. And according to that, the Book is not 1500 years old. It is rather written in the year 1500. It also says it is written by monks in a Monestary in Ninveh, which is today’s Mosul, Iraq. So it is obvious that this book belongs to the Assyrian Church of the Eact.

    Here is the problem I have with this whole thing…they don’t give the Assyrians any credit historically . What are you afraid of?

    The Vatican would be nervous because not only is the language used in the book credible, but it directly conflicts with the Roman Catholic church’s belief that Jesus was the son of God and that he was the single prophet, half man, half divine – which has a severe chain reaction, the church’s long standing belief that all other religions are man made.. and so on and so forth.

    Put it this way, if that book had been found by the church first, we wouldn’t have heard about it and it would be locked away in the Vatican vault only to be seen by those who believe against its words or believe that the words it reflects goes against the church’s ‘interest’.

    Especially a church that today, is finding it very hard to identify and continue a strong following of the belief.

    If it is in between 1500 to 2000 years old Bible in the time of Jesus (pbh) you must find some where written the declaration of the last and final prophet for all mankind “prophet Mohammed (pbh)”. I do believe all the Christian around the globe will realize and find the true path is only ISLAM and billions will convert to Islam inshallah.

13. Teo - 27 Şubat 2012

    

    1500-2000 years?? No way, the Syriac script was firstly used at about year 200 CE, the vowels points you can see on the Turkish codex were invented at about 800 CE, so at first sight the codex couldn’t be older than 1200 years, I believe is even newer but lets wait for some scholars to take a look.

14. Jimmy Molotov - 27 Şubat 2012

    

    Any studies to be done on it should be done in Turkey. The Iranians still haven’t recieved any of their national artifacts from the British museum. The Brits or the Vatican will want to study the Bible take it then suddenly accuse Turkey of something declare sanctions and it will lost forever.

15. rahman - 27 Şubat 2012

    

    Now christian should recognise thier last prophet Muhammad (sm).
    La illaha illallah
    Muhammad rasulullah.

16. rahman - 27 Şubat 2012

    

    In hebrew bible song of soloman The last prophet mentioned by name
    ” Muhammadim”.And this old Bible reconfirmed that Jesus pbuh prophecised that Muhammad sm is coming to guide for whole mankind. Pope in vatican tell in your congregation to accept the truth ,Otherwise jesus will not forgive you.

17. entreri - 27 Şubat 2012

    

    Christianity and Islam…biggest lies in history ever..jesus is non existent and muhammed is only a above average clever dude lived in arabistan..thats it..

18. Omer - 27 Şubat 2012

    

    just wait for the result and you all will know soon i wonder why people now more worried about their ego and dont want to accept anything agaist their believes. peple just want to believe in new testements despite ignoring the fact why the new testement came in to place on the first place? its simple people who are playing with Chritanitym just want to put things which suits them. wake up guys dont put your ego in this. just wait for the result rather then saying crap about each other.

    It proves that the region of country was a Christians territory. Unfortunatelly the turkish people with so much history and culture are still brain washed with the Cult of Islam. A cult created by a bunch of illiterate arab camel herders. A cult created by a crazy man who thought he was first the Jewish messiah and when he was rejected by the rabbis of Mecca he got angry and told his few followers to stop praying/kneeling towards Jerusalem and to start praying/kneeling towards the pagan site of the Kabbah. Muhammed and his followers robbed 2 caravans while he was a fugitive in Medina. Muhammed participated in the robbery and also killed people justifing it with the fact that he called them infidels. Anybody who did not follow his crazy commands will be killed. Muhammed also said that his favorite wife Aisha who was only 6 years old and consummated the marriage when she was only 9, making him a child molestor. Muhammed suffer from the same psychological illness of Hitler. But Muhammed was 100 times worst than Hitler. Muhammed was a Criminal. At it is a shame that intelligent people or anybody be a muslim.

    This claim is a perfect example of history repeating itself as the Turkish government made the same claim in 1986. Later, it was forced to retract this claim, but the retraction never received the press coverage that the initial discovery did, so even today many Turks will claim that the Army found the Gospel of Barnabas in 1986. Now, we have another one. What is the Turkish obsession with the Gospel of Barnabas?

    I am so pride that i am an ASSYRINAN and i can read whatever that is written on that BIBLE.our logo is shining on that BIBLE,i belevie it will shin in all the world again.AMEN.

23. Aramiler Suryaniler - 28 Şubat 2012

    

    Some ignorant person here claimed that Jesus never existed. But i can tell him that there are at least 150 sources outside the Bible itself that proves that Jesus did exist including Flavius Josephus, Roman sources such as Tacitus and others.

24. Aramiler Suryaniler - 28 Şubat 2012

    

    Many muslims (not all muslims) use the so called gospel of Barnabas to prove that that Muhammed was a prophet. and combine it with the Sura that speaks of Ahmad (Mhammad). But the same gospel of Barnabas also goes against things that is not there in the Quran. The Gospel of Barnabas is so fake that it contains lots of anachronisms that it smells fake. it was compose in Italian or spanish in order to syncretezise christianity and Islam as late as 1400s or 1500s AD. It doesn’t go back to the first century AD

25. BVT - 28 Şubat 2012

    

    here is what’s written on the face of the bible shown in the picture:was able to read the whole phrase as it is:

    “bshemmat maran pish ktiwa aha ktawa Al idateh d rabbaneh d dera allaya b’Ninweh b shita alpa w khamashma d’ maran”.so definitely written in 1500A.D

26. Aramiler Suryaniler - 28 Şubat 2012

    

    I am a syriac orthodox christian Aramean. Edessan Aramaic (also known as classical Syriac) is not only the liturgical language of the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Syriac Maronite church only.
    Its also the liturgical language of the Syriac Catholic Church and the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Church of the East (renamed Assyrian Church of the East since 1976) and The Old Church of the East (established in 1968, by a minority of the former who never wanted to change the Christmas date from 6th or 7th January to 25th December. The majority did accept the Gregorian calendar date for Christmas and are known as Assyrian church of the East. Both are separate ecclestiastical organizations).
    Edessan Aramaic (Syriac) has in fact three calligrapical styles known as Estrangelo/Estrangela (serto strangeloyo/serta strangelaya) and west-syriac and east-syriac. The west syriac (serto fshito/serta pshitta) is used only by Syriac orthodox , Syriac catholics and syriac maronites, while the east-syriac style (serta madenhaya/madenkhaya )is used by the Church of the East (1976 Assyrian church of the east), Old Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church.
    Back to the artifact: the script in the artifact is in fact East Syriac (Serta madenkhaya/madenhaya) and is therefore (if its not a fake), made by someone from the Church of the East.
    Second of all the oldest of the 3 Syriac scripts mentioned above the oldest is the estrangelo that is mostly dated back to 6 AD in burialinscriptions found at Birecik (east of the upper Euphrates). Later the West-Syriac (serto fshito) script is dated back to a manuscript dated to 243 AD (vowel markings were not invented until the time of Jacob of Edessa (Urhoy, modern Urfa) (633-708 AD). And the oldest codex written with west-syriac letters is dated to 411 A.D. while the letters of the artifact are dated later.
    I don’t believe the artifact to be 1500 years old nor 2000 old for the following reason a) the east-syriac script was invented at at least during the 6th or 7th century AD. b) the text itself says in syriac
    Ba-shnath Alpa u Khameshma d Maran (in the year 1500 of Our Lord (Jesus Christ)

    The clear proof of existence of the Gospel of Barnabas before Islam:

    1- In 492 AD, The Pope Gelasius prohibited the circulation of forbidden books including the Gospel of Barnabas. This proves that it was exist before Islam.

    2- It was written in the time when Jesus said : “I am indeed sent to the house of Israel as a prophet of salvation ; but after me shall come the Messiah , sent of God to all the world; for whom God hath made the world. And then through all the world will God be worshipped, and mercy received, insomuch that the year of jubilee, which now Cometh every hundred years, shall by the Messiah be reduced to every year in every in every place “pointing out to the fifth pillar of Islam which is pilgrimage to Mecca.

    Exaggerating news! Not proven yet with Carbon-14 that manuscript 1500 to 2000 years old

    As per Quran “prophet Mohammed (pbh)”is the last & final messenger.No more clarification required for belivers…

    “Shock” is an expression too often used by jounalists to people read their articles.

    Abu Ammar here is your answer against your “Gospel of Barnabas apology” http://answering-islam.org/Nehls/Answer/barnabas.html

32. Abu Ammar - 02 Mart 2012

    

    The Gospel of Barnabas is not the only Gospel which confirms most of the teachings of the Qur’an. There is also “The Shepherd of Hermas.” In 1922, a third century papyrus manuscript of “The Shepherd” surfaced, and once again it confirmed the teachings of the Qur’an, and once again, this Gospel was destroyed and hidden from the masses. During the first centuries AD., both of these books were considered authentic and canonical and preached as the true word of God.

    why are there paper clips on it? why isn’t it in a humidor? why are they letting people touch it with greasy human hands? If this were real wouldn’t they take care of it a little better.

34. Mind - 24 Mart 2012

    

    The christiens leaders of the world wil never accept the gospel of barnabas because accepting it renders christianity invalid. Only the lucky ones would accept islam.

35. asfedel - 30 Mart 2012

    

    Muslims believe in Jesus as a prophet of Allah, not the sun of Allah or any part of Allah. Muslims have never condemned Jesus or called him a criminal, in fact, any muslim who doesn’t believe in Jesus is not a complete muslim. Search every where to prove me wrong. SERPE ‘ll live to regret himself in this life and next by cursing our prophet Muh’d (SAW)he who came with the book that has been memorised by the million of muslims in arabic literature, the Language of the prohet Muhammad (SAW). I challenge you SERPE to bring a bible written in a native language of Jesus I.e Aramaic which is older than the holy qur’an and see what’s contained therein. We believe that qur’an is 1,400+ year old, so let there be bible of 1,500-2,000 year old if you dispute the one found in Turkey
