I use the NRSVCE of the Bible.
We read in Gen 5:24 : > Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him We also read in Heb 11:5 : > By faith Enoch was taken so that he did not experience death, and “he was not found, because God had taken him.” For it was attested before he was taken away that “he had pleased God.” Now, the name of Elijah, who was also spared from death, appears in the Gospels a number of times. But, neither Jesus nor the Evangelists mention the name of Enoch, nor project him as a role mode of righteousness. My question therefore is: **According to Catholic scholars, why do the Gospels not mention the name of Enoch?**
