Why did the council of Ephesus reject the Apocrypha?
Actually there were 3 councils of Ephesus over the years 431 to 475, and the two later councils seemed to spend their time rejecting the deliberations of the earlier councils …and anathematised their members. And the dictionary definition of the word Apocrypha, is: "Biblical or related writings not forming part of the accepted canon of Scripture" So the council, on its own volition, decided to reject or accept the written word of God. The Bible, or 'the Canon of Scripture' is The Word of God, so it is God's prerogative to accept it. (MORE)

Why Apocrypha is not in The Bible?
"The Apocrypha This is the name usually given to the 14 books contained in SOME BIBLES [emphasis, mine] between the Old and New Testaments. They originated in the 1st to 3rd c…enturies B.C., mostly of uncertain authorship, and were added to the Septuagint, which was the Greek translation of the Old Testament made in that period. They were not in the Hebrew Old Testament. They were written after Old Testament prophecy, oracles and direct revelation had ceased. Josephus rejected them as a whole. They were never recognized by the Jews as part of the Hebrew Scriptures. They were never quoted by Jesus, nor anywhere in the New Testament. They were not recognized by the Early Church as of canonical authority, nor as of divine inspiration. When the Bible was translated into Latin in the 2nd century A.D., its Old Testament was translated, not from the Hebrew Old Testament, but from the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament. From the Septuagint these Apocryphal books were carried over into the Latin translation; and from thence into the Latin Vulgate, which became the common version in Western Europe till the time of the Reformation. Protestants, basing their movement on the Divine Authority of God's Word, at once rejected these Apocryphal books as being no part of God's Word, as the Early Church and ancient Hebrews had done. Then the Roman Catholic Church, in the council of Trent, A.D. 1546, which was held to stop the Protestant movement, declared these books to be canonical, and they are still in the Douay Version (Roman Catholic Bible)..."
