Agrapha

Overview

Agrapha (Gk. αγραφα) are sayings of Jesus that are not found ("not written") in the canonical Gospels. The term was used for the first time by Johann Gottfried Körner, a German Bible scholar in 1776. It was introduced to the contemporary critical scholarship by Alfred Resch at the end of the 19th century.

Sayings attributed to Jesus can be found in some New Testament Gospels, in NT Apocrypha, in the Church Fathers, as well as in non-Christian texts like the Qu'ran.
