The Veg Passages from Early Christianity, the Jesus Movement, John the Baptist Sect (Nasoraeans), Mandaeans and Other Gnostics

My Veg Passages blog is intended to serve as a major resource on the web for many seeking greater access to these rare, difficult-to-find veg and vegan passages from early Christianity and related spiritual movements of antiquity (Essenes, John the Baptist Nasoraeans, Mandaeans, Ebionites, Gospel of the Hebrews, Gnostics, Apocryphal texts, church fathers, etc.., along with references from various scholars exploring the evidence for a vegetarian Jesus at the beginning of Christianity! My veg article was recently updated and greatly expanded. Pack a lunch as you'll be there awhile. Lots of plant-based passages from the early years of the Jesus movement await you! There are also a lot of references to John the Baptist.

“All living creatures seek a life of peace,
So pass your days on this Earth humanely.
Even the heart that beats in an animal’s breast
Knows sympathy, brims with love.
So look on all living creatures with loving compassion —
bring to humanity’s night the light of dawn.”
(Sant Darshan Singh poem)

Note: I will be doing a follow-up part 2 on this topic at some point, as more early Christian apocrypha have been published as well as I've located more writings from the Aramaic-Syriac tradition affirming the vegetarianism of John's Nasoraean sect.

The Sufi poet Rumi was vegan. In these verses translated from Turkish, Rumi mentioned not only not killing animals for food but also not consuming "milk and milk products". https://medium.com/sant-mat-meditation-and-spirituality/meet-a-vegan-rumi-the-sufi-poet-mystic-by-james-bean-59afdf126b91

The Gnostics Were Vegetarians: The vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving is part of the Hermetic scriptures of Egypt and is also part of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Gnostic Gospels. At the end of the prayer the final verse reads: “When they had said these things in the prayer, they embraced each other and they went to eat their holy food, which has no blood in it.”*

* “Vegetarian food” — footnote from the Marvin Meyer’s translation of this in, “The Nag Hammadi Scriptures”.

* A vegetarian meal. This passage is also found in the Epilogue of Asclepius, in “HERMETICA,” translated by Sir Walter Scott: “Having prayed thus, let us betake ourselves to a meal unpolluted by flesh [animalia] of living things.”

* The G.R.S. Mead translation of the same passage: “With this desire we now betake us to our pure and fleshless meal.”
