. The work is quite early, for it was referenced by Clement and likely used by the author of the Apocalypse of Paul; It may even predate the canonical Apocalypse (Revelation) of John. The book was included in the Muratorian Canon (c.200 C.E.) as well as the Codex Claramontanus.

There does not appear to be a complete text of the AofP. The Akhmîm text is considered to be a later development. The Ethiopian text shows some similarity to the gospel of Matthew, but no close correlation. It contains a scene with "our Lord" seated upon the Mount of Olives, explaining the parable of the fig tree.
