New Testament apocrypha

The New Testament is a book of stories that tell us about Jesus and his teachings. But sometimes, people wrote other stories about Jesus that weren't included in the New Testament. These are called the New Testament Apocrypha.

It's kind of like how you might have a favorite toy that you love to play with all the time. But sometimes, you might also have other toys that you like to play with, even though they're not your favorite. The New Testament Apocrypha is like those other toys - they're still stories about Jesus, but they're not as important as the ones in the New Testament.

Some people think that the New Testament Apocrypha should be included in the Bible, while others do not. Some of these stories might have been written by the same people who wrote the New Testament, but others were written by different people. Because these stories were written a long time ago, it's hard to know which ones are true and which ones are made up.

But whether or not the New Testament Apocrypha is important, it's still interesting to read these stories and learn more about Jesus and the people who followed him.
