Цитата Апокрив апостола Андрея, 5

Первое, что стоит отметить, данная цитата в «оригинале»  выглядит вот так:
   «И спросил Андрей Ионин, ученик Его: Равви! Каким народам нести благую весть о Царствии Небесном? И ответил ему Иисус: Идите к народам восточным, к народам западным и к народам южным, туда, где живут сыны дома Израилева. К язычникам Севера не ходите, ибо безгрешны они и не знают пороков и грехов дома Израилева»( Евангелие  от Андрея, гл.5, ст. 1–3)
Но об этой цитате мы еще поговорим. Сейчас же, скажу пару слов об источнике, из которого эта цитата взята. Если честно, самого текста «Евангелия от Андрея» я не нашел, ни на русском языке, ни на каком ином, везде и всюду распространяется лишь выше озвученная цитата.  Но, это не говорит о том, что подобного текста не было. Он был. Как минимум есть одно упоминание в исторических источниках, конкретно — в «Декрете папы Геласия1», (492—496) (Decretum Gelasianum), (например тут http://www.ntcanon.org/Decretum_Gelasianum.shtml)

Acts of Andrew (150-200 CE)
The oldest direct mention of the Acts of Andrew is by Eusebius who lists it among the writings that are written by heretics and are absurd and impious. The Coptic Papyrus Utrecht I, which contains a translation of a section from the Acts of Andrew, confirms that it was known in Egypt in the 4th century (the papyrus is dated to this period). In his Panarion Epiphanius reports that the writing was used by the Encratites, the Apostolici, and the Origenists. The Acts of Andrew was probably written in the second half of the 2nd century. The place of origin is unknown.
Between the 3rd and the 9th century it became known and read everywhere, in Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Armenia, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, Gaul, and Spain. It was particularly successful in circles of a dualistic and ascetic tendency, especially among the Manicheans and Priscillianists. It was condemned in the Decretum Gelasianum, but this did not result in its disappearance. Rather it lived on in the form of revisions and extracts. The trail vanishes in the West in the 6th century, in the East in the 9th.
The Acts of Andrew has not come down to us in the primary form of their original Greek text. The English translation in [Schneemelcher] v. 2 pp. 118-151 is taken from these witnesses:
Liber de miraculis by Gregory of Tours complete except for suppressed speeches
P. Utrech 1 (Coptic) corresponds to c. 18 of the previous work
Armenian Martyrdom final part
5 Greek recensions final part
Extracts handed down in Greek various fragments

G/T:Самое древнее прямое упоминание о Деяниях Андрея - Евсевий, который перечисляет его среди писаний, которые написаны еретиками, и абсурдны и нечестивы. Коптский папирус Утрехт I, содержащий перевод раздела из Деяний Андрея, подтверждает, что он был известен в Египте в IV веке (папирус относится к этому периоду). В своем «Панарии» Епифаний сообщает, что письмо использовалось энкратитами, апостоликами и оригенистами. Деяния Андрея, вероятно, были написаны во второй половине II века. Место происхождения неизвестно.

Между 3 и 9 веками он стал известен и читался повсюду, в Африке, Египте, Палестине, Сирии, Армении, Малой Азии, Греции, Италии, Галлии и Испании. Это было особенно успешным в кругах дуалистической и аскетической тенденции, особенно среди манихейцев и присциллианцев. Он был осужден в Decretum Gelasianum, но это не привело к его исчезновению. Скорее, он жил в форме изменений и выписок. Тропа исчезает на Западе в VI веке, на Востоке в 9-м.

Деяния Андрея не дошли до нас в первичной форме их оригинального греческого текста. Из этих свидетелей взят английский перевод в [Schneemelcher] v. 2 pp. 118-151:

Liber de miraculis от Gregory of Tours завершается за исключением подавленных выступлений
П. Утрех 1 (коптский) соответствует с. 18 предыдущей работы
Заключительная часть армянского мученичества
5 финальная часть греческой рецензии
Экстракты, переданные по-гречески различными фрагментами

The Decretum Gelasianum
The so-called Decretum Gelasianum de libris recipiendis et non recipiendis, is traditionally attributed to Gelasius, bishop of Rome 492-496 CE. However, upon the whole it is probably of South Gallic origin (6th century), but several parts can be traced back to Pope Damasus and reflect Roman tradition. The 2nd part is a canon catalogue, and the 5th part is a catalogue of the 'apocrypha' and other writings which are to be rejected. The canon catalogue gives all 27 books of the New Testament. Parts 1, 3, and 4 are not relevant to the canon, but a complete Latin edition and a complete English translation are available.
Part 2 -- A catalogue of the canon.
Likewise it was said:
Now indeed the issue of the divine scriptures must be discussed, which the universal Catholic church receives or which it is required to avoid.

Part 5 -- A catalogue of the 'apocrypha' and other writings which are to be rejected.
The remaining writings which have been compiled or been recognized by heretics or schismatics the Catholic and Apostolic Roman Church does not in any way receive; of these we have thought it right to cite below some which have been handed down and which are to be avoided by catholics.
