Jude verse 18
for they said unto you
In the Last Times, there will be scoffers . . .
Raymond E. Brown in his chapter of
Introduction to the New Testament (Anchor
Bible Reference series volume) suggests that
No such passage is preserved in the canonical
books of the New Testament (27: from Gosp.
Matthew to Revelation to John)
so the writer seemingly is drawing on a
wider Christian tradition, just as he drew
upon a wider Israelite tradition (quotations
from I Enoch and Testament of Moses 7:7,9)
wider than the OT (I.e. Tanak = Torah, Nebi'im,
Kethubim).
