In addition, since Tatian, when compiling the Diatessaron, did not make use of any of the so - called apocryphal gospels in the way he did the four accepted Gospels, it is evident that the apocryphal gospels were not viewed as reliable or canonical.
Samuti väärib tähelepanu see, et kui Tatianus koostas Diatessaroni, võttis ta aluseks neli üldtunnustatud evangeeliumi. Niisiis on ilmne, et apokrüüfilisi evangeeliume ei peetud usaldusväärseks ega Pühakirja kaanoni osaks.
