The Gospel According to the Hebrews is a "lost" apocryphal Gospel used anciently by the ancient Nazarenes and Ebionites. While no copies of this document have survived, much of it has survived in about fifty quotations and citations from it made by various ancient sources. Using these materials and other information at our disposal, we have reconstructed the complete text (at least as complete as we can have it at this date).

Barnes wrote:

…the Gospel according to the Hebrews by its very title claims
an authority equal to, if not actually greater than, that of the
four which eventually received the approval of the Church.
(A. S. Barnes; The Gospel according to the Hebrews;
Journal of Theological Studies 6 (1905) p. 361)

And Schonfield writes:

The Gospel according to the Hebrews is a literary outlaw with a
price on its head; but in spite of the scholarly hue and cry it
still evades capture. Neither monastic libraries nor Egyptian
rubbish heaps have so far yielded up a single leaf of this important
document....

For behind Hebrews lies the unknown potentialities of the Nazarene
tradition, which may confirm or contradict some of the most
cherished beliefs of Orthodox Christianity. It is useless for
certain theologians to designate Hebrews as "secondary" on the
evidence of the present fragmentary remains preserved in
quotation. ...

Judged by ancient testimony alone it is indisputable that Hebrews
has the best right of any Gospel to be considered a genuine
apostolic production;...

Here is obviously a most valuable witness, perhaps the most valuable
witness to the truth about [Yeshua] whom even a jury composed
entirely of orthodox Christians could not despise, and who ought to
be brought into court. But the witness is missing, and all that we
have is a few reported statements of his taken long ago...
(Hugh Schonfield; According to the Hebrews; 1937; pp. 13-18)

The appearance to Ya'akov (James), ...is not mentioned elsewhere in
the New Testament but is reported in one of the apocryphal books,
the Gospel according to the Hebrews...
(Jewish New Testament Commentary by David Stern 1Cor. 15:7)

To my knowledge this is the first complete reconstruction of the text:

As some of you know, the original Jewish Believers in Yeshua (the
Nazarenes) used an apocryphal Gospel known as B'SORAH HA-EVRIM:
The Goodnews according to the Hebrews.

Eusebius wrote of this Gospel in the fourth century:

"the especial delight of those of the Hebrews who have accepted
Messiah"
(Eusebius; Eccl. Hist. 3:25:5)

And Jerome referred (again in the fourth century) to it as:

"the Gospel which the Nazarenes and Ebionites use"
(Jerome; On Mat. 12:13)

This Gospel has been lost for centuries but has finally been restored!

Finally a complete flowing text of the Gospel according to the
Hebrews is available... for the first time in centuries and for the
first time ever in English.

This Gospel was used by the ancient Nazarenes and Ebionites.
Scholars have long recognized the profound importance of this
document. I t has been lost for centuries, but has finally been reconstructed
from ancient source documents.

This edition includes:

* Several pages of introductory material including evidence that
B'sorah HaEvrim is the original source behind Matthew, Mark, Luke
and even John.

* A complete flowing text, 29 chapters including many events absent
from our four canonical gospels.

* An appendix with all of the primary citations by "Church Fathers"
listed out and cited in English and in most cases also giving those
citations in either the Greek or Latin in which the given "Church
Father" wrote.

* A Nazarene commentary on the B'sorah Ha'Evrim.
