The Gospel Of Nicodemus Formerly Called The Acts Of Pontius Pilate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162696089)

The Gospel of Nicodemus, formerly known as The Acts of Pontius Pilate, is an ancient text that recounts the events leading up to and following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The book is believed to have been written in the 4th century AD and is attributed to an anonymous author. The Gospel of Nicodemus is divided into two parts. The first part, known as the Acts of Pilate, describes the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ from the perspective of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. The text includes Pilate's interactions with Jesus, his conversations with the Jewish leaders who demanded Jesus' crucifixion, and the events that led up to the crucifixion itself. The second part of the book, known as the Descent into Hell, describes Jesus' descent into the underworld after his death. The text includes conversations between Jesus and the souls of the dead, as well as his triumphant resurrection and ascension into heaven. The Gospel of Nicodemus is considered an important text in Christian literature and has been widely read and studied throughout history. It provides a unique perspective on the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus and sheds light on the beliefs and practices of early Christians.The Jews say to him, His blood be upon us and our children. Then Pilate calling together the elders and scribes, priests and Levites, saith to them privately, Do not act thus; I have found nothing in your charge (against him) concerning his curing sick persons, and breaking the Sabbath, worthy of death.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
