IVangeli yoMfazi kaYesu, uxande. Ibinzana uYesu wathi kubo, ‘Mfazi wam…’ livela, kulwimi lwakudala lwase-Egypt lwesiCoptic, kumgca wesine weqhekeza lephaphy.Ukuphinda kabini Amagama ambalwa avela kwinkulungwane yesibini ye-AD asongela ukutshintsha ibali lobuKristu.
IVangeli lomfazi ka Yesu, utsho u-Ariel Sabar, sisiqwenga semipapiri, ubukhulu nobume bekhadi loshishino. Kwelinye icala, linemigca esibhozo ngesiCoptic, isigaba sokugqibela kulwimi lwase-Egypt. Umgca webhombu uqhekeza embindini. Ineli binzana, ibinzana elinenxalenye: 'U-Yesu wathi kubo, mfazi wam.'
Elo binzana lasungula ukufundwa kwewaka, de isiqwenga esichazayo kwezinye iindlela zikaYesu noMary Magdalene sachithwa ngabaphengululi, yisayensi, kunye neentatheli ezinentetho ezinje ngoSabar. UVeritas: Unjingalwazi waseHarvard, uCon Man, kunye neVangeli yoMfazi kaYesu Okwangoku kwaye, kumaphepha angama-416, elona gama lide lithunyelwe uSabar aqala ukuligubungela iminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo.
USabar uhlala kweli tyala kuba le mfihlakalo yayingatyhilwanga ngokupheleleyo. Ngapha koko iileya ndizicobulile, kokukhona zikhona iindawo zokucima. Ibali lafikelela eluntwini ngokutyhilwa ngo-2012 kwesiqwengana senkulungwane yesi-2 yesiqwengana sikaKaren E. King, umphengululi webhayibhile owayebambe isikhundla sobuprofesa eHarvard Divinity School. Ngeso siqwenga soxwebhu, uKumkani wabuza ukungatshati kukaYesu kwaye wacebisa ukuba umfazi awayebhekisa kuye angaba nguMary Magdalene, kubhala uSabar. Umbono oxhaphakileyo kaMary Magdalene njengehenyukazi, uKumkani kunye nabanye baphikisana, ubonakalisa ukuqhuba kweenkokheli zakwalizwi zakudala ukujongela phantsi ukubaluleka kwakhe kwaye, ngokwandisa, ukukhuphela ngaphandle abasetyhini kwizikhundla zamandla.
KwakunguSabar owafumanisa ukuba uKumkani wafumana isiqwenga kuWalter Fritz, indoda yaseJamani ehlala kwiGulf Coast yaseFlorida. UFritz wayefundile kwaye wayishiya i-Egyptology eBerlin kwaye wayesebenzisana nakwinkampani yeenqwelo-mafutha. Okwexeshana wayeqhuba ishishini lokwabelana ngesondo, ehlela imihla yokuntywila yomfazi wakhe awayeya kuyenza umboniso bhanyabhanya. Njengokuba uSabar wayelanda umkhondo we-pitzot kaFritz ukusuka kokungcolileyo ukuya kokungcwele, wafunda ukuba izinto zomgunyathi zale ndoda zazisuka kwiziqwenga zepapyrus ukuya ekuqalekeni kwakhe emsebenzini kwisikolo sikarhulumente eSarasota, eFlorida.
Ukuba uFritz, njengomlingiswa, uvakala ngathi kukutya okunyolukileyo nenkohliso ababhali beescreen abanethemba lokucinga ngeyona mihla yabo intle, ndishiye iinkcukacha ezibalulekileyo, endaweni yokonakalisa nakuphi na ukurhanelwa kwabafundi. USabar uqaphele ukuba amalungelo efilimu kwiVeritas ayathengiswa. 
IVangeli yoMfazi kaYesu, okt.Ukuphinda kabini
UKaren King uvumile kwi-2016 ukuba iVangeli yoMfazi kaYesu (GJW kwisishwankathelo sabaphengululi) mhlawumbi yayiyinyani. Uphando olumangalisayo lukaSabar lubonisa indlela afike ngayo apho.
Kum oku ngokusisiseko kukukhangela inyani. Sifumanisa njani ukuba into iyinyani? Yeyiphi imigaqo esetyenziswe ngabantu ukutyhila iminyaka eyinyani? Utshilo uSabar.
Unjingalwazi waseHarvard kwibali lakhe, uSabar wathi, wayengumntu osemva kwexesha langoku, kwaye abaposi banamhlanje abayithengi imbono yenyani yokwenyani. UmJamani owazisa isiqwenga sepapyrus kuye yayiyindoda eqamba amabali ukuze ihambelane neemfuno zayo.
UWalter Fritz (okanye nabani na owenze amaxwebhu eprovenance) wayesazi ukuba kwimeko yangoku kwakungonelanga ukuvelisa isiqwenga semipapasi esivuyisayo. Ukwafuna ibali elingaqhelekanga le-provenance [imbali yobunini], utshilo uSabar.
Kukho imali. Abaqokeleli beziqwenga zebhayibhile bathumele amaxabiso kolu rhwebo kuthe cwaka ngokukhawuleza.
Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyi-empiricist. Sinoxanduva lokuzama ukufumana iinyani, utshilo uSabar, owaphumelela iMbasa yokuGxeka iNcwadi kaZwelonke ngomsebenzi wakhe we-2009 wophando nge-archeology yosapho, IParadesi kaTata wam: UkuKhangela koNyana kumaDala akhe amaJuda kwi-Kurdish Iraq .
Ukuba Iinyani kukuthatha inyani, ikwathabatha kwi-echoes Ikhowudi yeDa Vinci .
Kwaye ngubani ongafuniyo ukuphinda incwadi ethengise ikopi ezizigidi ezingama-80? Abantu bathetha oko malunga neencwadi zabo ngalo lonke ixesha. Kukho iincwadi ezizigidi ‘ezinobomi bokwenene Ikhowudi kaDa Vinci , ’Utshilo uSabar. Yintoni enomdla yile Ikhowudi yeDa Vinci , nangona ingumsebenzi wentsomi, uphefumlela phezulu uphembelela indlela abantu abenza ngayo imbali.
Yintoni eyahlula iintsomi kunye nembali kwi-saga yeVangeli yoMfazi kaYesu yitshekhi yokwenyani. Ukuba Ikhowudi yeDa Vinci libali eliyintsomi apho unjingalwazi waseHarvard efumanisa le mfihlelo kudala ingaziwa malunga nomtshato kaYesu noMary Magdalene, kwaye ajike umhlaba ngentloko, utshilo uSabar, ibali leVangeli lomfazi kaYesu lelinye apho uprofesa waseHarvard akholelwa ukuba ufumene ubungqina bokuba amaKristu okuqala ayekholelwa ukuba uYesu noMariya waseMagadala babetshatile, emva koko bavela baba lixhoba lekhonkco eliqaqambileyo.
Ngokunikwa ukonwaba okunyamezeleyo kuwo omabini la matyala, ngaba uluntu ngoku luye lwaxhamla kolunye uluvo oluxubisayo lwesibhalo? Uyekile uSabar. Bendinethemba lokuba okuchaseneyo kuyakuba yinyani, utshilo, eqaphela ukungathandabuzeki phakathi kweengcali.
Kuya kufuneka siyithathe ngokholo.
