No I won’t… Daddy G is correct. There are references at least twice is different non-canon manuscripts in regards to a kiss on the mouth. And the Secret Gospel of Mark even indicates that Jesus spent a night in a tomb with a naked young man.

Then they filled in the hole in the scrolls he referred to ? I don’t question the possible relationship, just the proof of the mouth kiss in the scrolls.

“During their long burial in the desert, some of the books were attacked by ants. In this Gospel, the ants made a hole in a very crucial place.
The text says:

And the companion of the […] Mary Magdalene. […] loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her […].

The ‘lacuna’, or gap, which hides where Jesus kissed Mary has tantalised scholars for decades.”
