BOOK of REUBEN: Reuben 2:18-19 -
For thus they allured the Watchers who were before the flood; for as these continually beheld them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for they changed themselves into the shape of men, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands.
And the women lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even unto heaven. Reuben 2:18-19

The Infancy gospel of Thomas begins with a scene with Jesus by a stream, playing in the water in the mud. He starts forming some speros out of the mud, and as he’s doing this, a Jewish man walks by and sees what he’s doing and gets upset because it’s the Sabbath Day, so Jesus is violating the Sabbath, is working on the Sabbath. Professor Bart Ehrman, University of Northern California

And he said, ‘Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death.’
Jesus said, ‘Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all.’ [And after they have reigned they will rest.]
Jesus said, ‘If your leaders say to you, “Look, the (Father’s) kingdom is in the sky,” then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, “It is in the sea,” then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty.’ Gospel of Thomas 1:1-3
Jesus said, ‘Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war. For there will be five in a house: there’ll be three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father, and they will stand alone.’ Gospel of Thomas 1:16

And Jesus said] unto the lawyers, [?Punish] every wrongdoer and transgressor, and not me … And turning to the rulers of the people he spake this saying, Search the scriptures, in which ye think that ye have life; these are they which bear witness of me. Think not that I came to accuse you to my Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. And when they said, We know well that God spake unto Moses, but as for thee, we know not whence thou art, Jesus answered and said unto them, Now is your unbelief accused.

GOSPEL of PETER: Gospel of Peter 1-6 -
1. ... but of the Jews no-one washed his hands, neither did Herod nor any one of his judges. Since they were [un]willing to wash, Pilate stood up. 2) Then Herod the king orders the Lord to be taken away, saying to them, ‘Do what I commanded you to do to him.’
2. Joseph stood there, the friend of Pilate and the Lord, and knowing that they were about to crucify him, he went to Pilate and asked for the body of the Lord for burial. 2) And Pilate sent to Herod and asked for his body. 3) And Herod replied, ‘Brother Pilate, even if no one had asked for him, we would have buried him since the sabbath is drawing near. For it is written in the Law, The sun must not set upon one who has been executed.’ And he turned him over to the people on the day before the Unleavened Bread, their feast.
3. They took out the Lord and kept pushing him along as they ran; and they would say, ‘Let’s drag the son of God since we have him in our power.’ 2) And they threw a purple robe around him and made him sit upon the judgment seat and said, ‘Judge justly, King of Israel.’ 3) And one of them brought a crown a thorns and set it on the Lord’s head. 4) And others standing around spat in his eyes, and others slapped his face, while others poked him with a rod. Some kept flogging him as they said, ‘Let us pay proper respect to the son of God.’
4. And they brought two criminals and crucified the Lord between them. But he kept silence, as one feeling no pain. 2) And when they set the cross upright, they wrote thereon: This is the King of Israel. 3) And they laid his garments before him, and divided them among themselves and gambled for them. 4) But one of those criminals reproached them, saying, ‘We suffer for the evils which we have done; but this man which hath become the saviour of men, what has he done to you?’ 5) And they were angry with him, and commanded that his legs should not be broken, that so he might die in torment.
5. Now it was midday and darkness prevailed over all Judaea. They were troubled and in an agony lest the sun should have set for he still lived. For it is written that, The sun should not set upon him that hath been executed. 2) And one of them said, ‘Give him vinegar and gall to drink.’ And they mixed it and gave it to him to drink. 3) And they fulfilled all things and brought their sins upon their own heads. 4) Now many went about with lamps, supposing that it was night, and they laid down. 5) And the Lord cried out aloud saying, ‘My power, my power, you have forsaken me.’ When he had said this, he was taken up. 6) And in the same hour the veil of the temple of Jerusalem was rent in two.
6. And then they pulled the nails from the hands of the Lord and laid him on the ground. And the whole earth was shaken, and there came a great fear on all. 2) Then the sun came out, and it was found to be the ninth hour. 3) Now the Jews rejoiced, and gave his body unto Joseph to bury it, because he had beheld the good things which he did. 4) And Joseph took the Lord and washed him and wrapped him in linen and brought him unto his own tomb, which is called the Joseph’s Garden. Gospel of Peter 1-6

GOSPEL of the EGYPTIANS:
(The Naassenes) say that the soul is very hard to find and to perceive; for it does not continue in the same fashion or shape or in one emotion so that one can either describe it or comprehend its essence. And they have these various changes of the soul, set forth in the Gospel entitled according to the Egyptians. Hippolytus against Heresies v7: The Gospel of the Egyptians
