The Book of Enoch was never included in the Jewish or Christian Bibles, but was long considered an important writing, and studied by Jews before and after the ministry of Jesus, and by many of the early Church fathers. The Apostles of Christ were heavily influenced by the Book of Enoch, and it is estimated that well over a hundred phrases or teachings from Enoch, worked their way into our Christian New Testament. And, in Mark 12:24, Jesus taught a concept only found in the Book of Enoch when He referred to "the scriptures". In fact, there are a number of verses, in the Bible, which can really only be understood in light of the Book of Enoch.
