发现于死海古卷，现存于梵蒂冈图书馆和皇家哈布斯堡王朝图书馆，被认为是耶稣·基督的原始教义。书中包括有关戒食、素食及天使的许多内容。所有这些内容都在公元325年第一次尼西亚公会议之后被从基督教教义中改变或完全删除。该公会议由君士坦丁大帝召集，制定了强制性的统一信条（后经修订为《尼西亚信经》）。在此过程中，许多基督教原始的灵性精髓被修改或完全删除以服务于日渐式微的神圣罗马帝国的世俗计划。

关于艾赛尼教派
从亚拉姆语翻译过来的“十二门徒福音”。该版本的新约明显不同于通常的版本，记述耶稣为一个严格素食主义者，曾有许多动物聚集在他的周围：“鸟儿围绕他飞翔并为他唱着颂歌，其它动物也来到他的脚边，他喂给他们食物，动物们从他手中吃食。”

《艾赛尼和平福音》正文节选（中英对照）
angels for seven days and seven nights. And great was their reward,because they followed Jesus words. And with the passing of the seventh day, all their pains left them. And when the sun rose over the earths rim they saw Jesus coming towards them from the mountain, with the brightness of the rising sun about his head.
touched the hem of his garment in token of their healing.
them, saying:
以眼还眼，以牙还牙，以手还手，以脚还脚；以烙还烙,
以伤还伤；以命偿命，以死偿死。’罪恶的报酬是死亡。不要杀生。不要吃你的无辜猎物的肉，免得你们成为撒旦的奴仆。因为那是痛苦之路，导致死亡。遵循神的意志，祂的天使们会在生命之途上服务你们。因此，服从神的教导：“看哪,
我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬和一切树上所结有核的果子, 全赐给你们作食物。至於地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟, 并各样爬在地上有生命的物,
我将青草赐给它们作食物。世上一切会动的、活着的一切的奶是你们的食物，还有我给它们的青草。我把它们的奶给了你们。但使它们成长的肉和血，你们不能吃。流你们血的人，我必讨他的罪，因为你们的血中有你们的灵魂；凡杀动物的，杀人的，我必讨他的罪。因为我是主，是你的神，是强大、忌邪的神。恨我的,
我必追讨他的罪, 自父及子, 直到三、四代。爱我, 守我诫命的, 我必向他们发慈爱,
直到千代。全心、全意、全力爱主，你的神：这是首要的和最大的诫命。”第二条这样写道：“爱人如己。”没有哪个诫命比这些更重要。
for death. For the wages of sin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan. For that is the path of sufferings, and it leads unto death. But do the will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way of life.
Obey, therefore, the words of God: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon th e earth, wherein there is breath of life, I give every green herb for meat. Also the milk of every thing that moveth and liveth upon earth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given unto them, so I give their milk unto you. But flesh, and the blood which quickens it, shall ye not eat. And, surely, your spurting blood will I require, your blood wherein is your soul; I will require all slain beasts, and the souls of all slain men. For I the Lord thy God am a God strong and jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands -of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength: this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it: Love thy neighbor as thyself There is none other commandment greater than these.”
answered: “It was said to them of old time: “All beasts that move
upon the earth, all the fish of the sea, and all the fowl of the
air are given into thy power.” I tell you truly, of all creatures
living upon the earth, God created only man after his image.
Wherefore beasts are for man, and not man for beasts. You do not,
therefore, transgress the law if you kill the wild beast to save
your brothers life. For I tell you truly, man is more than the
beast. But he who kills the beast without a cause, though the beast
attack him not, through lust for slaughter, or for its flesh, or
for its hide, or yet for its tusks, evil is the deed which he does,
for he is turned into a wild beast himself. Wherefore is his end
also as the end of the wild beasts.”
接着另一个人说：“以色列最伟大的人摩西允许我们的祖先吃干净动物的肉，只禁止吃不干净动物的肉。你为什么禁止我们吃所有动物的肉？哪个诫命来自神？摩西的，还是你的？”
another said: “Moses, the greatest in Israel, suffered our
forefathers to eat the flesh of clean beasts, and forbade only the
flesh of unclean beasts. Why, therefore, do you forbid us the flesh
of all beasts? Which law comes from God? That of Moses, or your
law?”
耶稣回答说：“神通过摩西颁给你们的祖先十条诫命。你们的祖先说：‘这些诫命太严格了。’他们无法遵守。摩西看到后，怜悯他的人民，使他的人民不致灭绝。于是他给了他们十的十倍条诫命。脚如锡安山一样强壮的人，不需要拐杖；但羽翼颤抖的人，更加需要拐杖，这比没有的好。摩西对神说：‘我内心充满悲哀，因为我的人民要迷失了。因为他们没有知识，不能明白祢的诫命。他们象孩子一样，不能明白父亲的话。神啊，我给他们其它律法，虽然他们会受苦，但这样他们不会毁灭。如果他们不能与祢同在，神啊，但不要让他们反对祢；他们会维持下去，时机成熟时，他们就会接受祢的话，向他们展示祢的律法。’为了这个原因，摩西摔碎了两块写着十诫的石板，另外给了他们十的十倍条诫命，代替原来的诫命。而从这十的十倍条的诫命中，文士和法利赛人又制订了十的一百倍条诫命。他们给了你无法忍受的重担，而他们自己却不承担。诫命越接近神，我们需要的就越少；它们越远离神，我们需要的就越多。这就是为什么文士和法利赛人的律法数不胜数。人子的律法有七部，天使的有三部，而神的只有一部。
answered: “God gave, by Moses, ten commandments to your
forefathers. These commandments are hard, said your forefathers,
and they could not keep them. When Moses saw this, he had
compassion on his people, and would not that they perish. And then
he gave them ten times ten commandments. For he whose feet are
strong as the mountain of Zion, needs no crutches; but he whose
limbs do shake, gets further having crutches, than without them.
And Moses said to the Lord: My heart is filled with sorrow, for my
people will be lost. For they are without knowledge, and are not
able to understand thy commandments. They are as little children
who cannot yet understand their fathers words. Suffer, Lord, that I
give them other laws, that they may not perish. if they may not be
with thee, Lord, let them not be against thee; that they may
sustain themselves, and when the time has come, and they are ripe
for thy words, reveal to hem thy laws. For that did Moses break the
two tablets of s tone whereon were written the ten commandments,
and he gave them ten times ten in their stead. And of these ten
times ten the Scribes and Pharisees have made a hundred times ten
commandments. And they have laid unbearable burdens on your
shoulders, that they themselves do not carry. For the more nigh are
the commandments to God, the less do we need; and the farther they
are from God, then the more do we need. Wherefore are the laws of
the Pharisees and Scribes innumerable; the laws of the Son of Man
seven; of the angels three; and of God one.
“因此，我只教导你们那些你们能够明白的律法，你们能够成为人，遵守人子的七部律法。然后，天父的未识天使会把他们的律法显示给你们，神的圣灵也许会突然降临于你们，引你们到他的律法。”
“Therefore, I teach you only those laws which you can understand,
that you may become men, and follow the seven laws of the Son of
Man. Then will the unknown angels of the Heavenly Father also
reveal their laws to you, that Gods holy spirit may descend upon
you, and lead you to his law.”
所有人都为他的智慧而感到惊诧，问他：“继续，夫子，把所有我们能接受的律法都教给我们。”
were astonished at his wisdom, and asked him: “Continue, Master,
and teach us all the laws which we can receive.”
耶稣继续说：“神授诫给你们的祖先：‘你们不应杀生。’但是他们铁石心肠，还是杀生。于是，摩西希望，至少他们不应该杀人，他容忍他们屠宰动物。然而，你们祖先的心肠更加冷硬，人兽齐杀。但我确实说过：既勿杀人，亦勿杀兽，亦不要为了食物进你们的口而杀生。因为如果你们吃活的食物，你们也会加快成为同样的食物。如果你们屠杀你们的食物，死的食物也会杀死你们。因为生命来自生命，死亡总是导致死亡。因为一切杀死你们的食物的，也会杀死你们的身体。一切杀死你们身体的，也会杀死你们的灵魂。你们的身体就会变成你们的食物，你们的灵就会变成你们的意念。因此，不要吃烧死、冻死、淹死之物，因为被烧的、被冻的、腐烂的食物同样会使你们的身体被烧、被冻和腐烂。不要象愚蠢的农夫那样，用煮熟的、冷冻的和腐烂的种子在地里播种。秋天来到时，地里颗粒无收。他痛不欲生。要象另外一个农夫那样，在地里播下活的种子，地里结出活的麦穗，比他种下的种子多百倍。我真实地告诉你们，只凭借生命之火而活，不要用死亡之火准备你们的食物，它会杀死你们的食物，你们的身体和你们的灵魂。”
continued: “God commanded your forefathers: Thou shalt not kill.
But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired
that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to
kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened
yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to
you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into
your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you,
but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For
life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For
everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And
everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your
bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise,
become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which
fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and
rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also. Be not like
the foolish husbandman who sowed in his ground cooked, and frozen,
and rotten seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields bore nothing.
And great was his distress. But be like that husbandman who sowed
in his field living seed, and whose field bore living ears of
wheat, paying a hundredfold for the seeds which he planted. For I
tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your
foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies
and your souls also.”
“夫子，生命之火在哪儿？”有人问。
where is the fire of life?” asked some of them.
“在你们的里面，在你们的血里，在你们的身体里。”
in your blood, and in your bodies.”
“死亡之火呢？”另外的人问。
fire of death?” asked others.
是在你们体外燃烧的火，比你们的血还要热。你们用那死亡之火在家中、在地里烧饭。我真实地告诉你们，它与毁灭你们食物和身体的火是同一种火，甚至象毁坏你们思想的怨恨之火一样，毁坏你们的灵。因为你们的身体正是你们所吃的，你们的灵正是你们所意念的。因此，不要吃比生命之火还要强的火所杀死的食物。因此，预备和食用所有树上的果，所有地里的草，所有动物的奶，这些都适合食用。因为所有这些都是由生命之火所养育和成熟的。所有都是我们地母的天使们的礼物。凡是死亡之火所烧出味道的都不要食用，因为那是撒旦所为。”
the fire which blazes outside your body, which is hotter than your
blood. With that fire of death you cook your foods in your homes
and in your fields. I tell you truly, it is the same fire which
destroys your foods and your bodies, even as the fire of malice,
which ravages your thoughts, ravages your spirits. For your body is
that which you eat, and your spirit is that which you think. Eat
nothing, therefore, which a stronger fire than the fire of life has
killed. Wherefore, prepare and eat all fruits of trees, and all
grasses of the fields, and afl milk of beasts good for eating. For
all these are fed and ripened by the fire of life; all are the gift
of the angels of our Earthly Mother. But eat nothing to which only
the fire of death gives savor, for such is of Satan.”
“因此始终吃来自神的桌子上的食物：树的果实，田地里的谷物和草，动物的奶，以及蜂蜜。一切这些之外的都来自撒旦，引至罪恶之路，直到生病、死亡。但你们从神的丰盛的桌子上吃的食物给予你们的身体以力量和年轻，你们永不会得病，因为玛土撒拉因食用了神的桌子上的食物而长寿。我真实地告诉你们，如果你们如他一般生活，生命之神就会让你们象他那般长寿。
always from the table of God: the fruits of the trees, the grain
and grasses of the field, the milk of beasts, and the honey of
bees. For everything beyond these is of Satan, and leads by the way
of sins and of diseases unto death. But the foods which you eat
from the abundant table of God give strength and youth to your
body, and you will never see diseases For the table of God fed
Methuselah of old, and I tell you truly, if you live even as he
lived, then will the God of the living give you also long life upon
the earth as was his.
“我真实地告诉你们，生命之神比大地上任何富人都要富，他桌子上的食物比大地上所有富人餐桌上最丰富的食物还要丰富。因此，你们一生都应该在我们的地母的桌上吃饭，你们永不会缺少食物。当你们在她的桌上吃饭时，吃光全部，就象在地母桌子上发现的一样。不要煮，也不要把所有的东西混在一起，免得你们的肠胃成为冒气的沼泽。我真实地告诉你们，神讨厌看到这个。
tell you truly, the God of the living is richer than all the rich
of the earth, and his abundant table is richer than the richest
table of feasting of all the rich upon the earth. Eat, therefore,
all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will
never see want. And when you eat at her table, eat all things even
as they are found on the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not,
neither mix all things one with another, lest your bowels become as
steaming bogs. For I tell you truly, this is abominable in the eyes
of the Lord.
“因此，小心不要让所有的讨厌之物污染了你们身体的庙宇。两三种食物足矣，你们可以经常在我们的地母桌上发现。不要想着把你周边的东西都狼吞虎咽掉。我真实地告诉你们，如果你把所有的食物都混着吃进肚子里，你们身体中的平静就会停止，无止境的战争就会在你的身体里开仗。如同分裂的家庭和王国攻击自己，毁灭自己。因为你们的神是和平之神，从不帮助分裂。不要违背自己而惹神愤怒，免得他把你们从他桌旁赶走，免得你们被迫去撒旦的桌子旁，那里罪恶之火，疾病之火和死亡之火将使你们的身体堕落。”
