An example of something like that would be Acts 20:25. Here Paul quotes Jesus as having said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Where is that found in the Gospels? It's not. It was probably common knowledge among the people back then that Jesus had said that but it was not quoted by Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.
Could be.
