A Hidden Gospel, A Shocking Distinction, and the Question the Church Buried for 1,800 Years There is a moment in a long-suppressed ancient text where Jesus watches his own disciples pray — and laughs.

They are giving thanks. They are doing exactly what they were taught. Jesus tells them the problem. "I am not laughing at you.
