Maybe someone should post the Greek text of this work so that all the Freepers can read it for themselves.

“Maybe someone should post the Greek text of this work so that all the Freepers can read it for themselves.”

Are there a lot of Freepers that are fluent in Greek?

The text that got all the attention in 2006 was a Coptic text, thought to be a translation of a Greek original. As far as I know the Greek text has not been found.

“DeConick was intrigued by the original release of the Coptic Gospel of Judas”

The story indicates that its in Coptic, not Greek.
There may be a few Freepers that can read it but they would probably be Egyptian Copts and able to read a version of Coptic in use 2 millenia ago. DeConick is probably a specialist in Coptic.

I think that it was written in Coptic as were all the gnostic gospels.
