Learn More »An ancient text depicts Jesus Christ as having a wife and two children, according to a new book due out this week, but academics have been quick to shut down the claim. The manuscript, written in Syriac (the Middle Eastern language spoken by Jesus) on vellum, has been in the British Library's archives for 20 years. Scholars who have studied the document over the past 160 years have considered it "pretty unremarkable." The authors, who translated the text from its Aramaic dialect into English, said the book is six years in the making. But Mark Goodacre, a professor of religious studies at Duke University, is among skeptics of the theory. "I don't think that there is any credibility in these claims at all," Prof. Goodacre told Good Morning America on Monday. "There is simply no evidence in this text or anywhere else that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, much less that they had a couple of children." The theory is based on the belief the document is encrypted and written by a group of persecuted Christians, The Daily Mail reported. The authors said the document is coded and Jesus’s marriage is hidden in the story of the Old Testament character Joseph and his wife Aseneth. They theorize that Joseph was actually Jesus and Aseneth was Mary Magdalene. The idea that Christ Jesus was married has previously surfaced in study and pop culture. An ancient Egyptian papyrus – known as the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife" – has Jesus referring to "my wife," though it was written centuries after he died,. In "The Da Vinci Code," the novel's author Dan Brown raises the possibility that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife.

manna, any of a variety of plants and plant products known for their sweet taste. Certain resins produced by the camel’s thorn plant (Alhagi maurorum) are known as manna; it is a spiny-branched shrub less than 1 metre (about 3 feet) tall and is native to Turkey. An edible white honeylike substance known as manna forms drops on the stem of salt cedars, or French tamarisk trees (Tamarix gallica). A scale insect that feeds on tamarisks also secretes honeydew (a sweet by-product of digestion) known as manna. The flowering ash, or manna ash (Fraxinus ornus), is the source of a sugar-alcohol, mannitol, which has been used medicinally. The substance is obtained for commercial exploitation by slashing the branches of the tree and collecting the juice that extrudes and hardens. This sweetish material is sold in the form of flakes (flake manna), fragments (common manna), or thick droplets (fat manna). Manna is also the common name for certain lichens of the genus Lecanora native to Turkey, especially L. esculenta. In the Middle East lichen bread and manna jelly are made from Lecanora species.
