Apocrypha · Chapter 2 of 4
Descensus Christi
Annas and Caiaphas sent men to find Karinus and Leucius.
2They found them engaged in prayer and invited them to go to the synagogue.
3The assembly of the Jews adjured them: 'Tell us how you rose from among the dead.'
4Karinus and Leucius made signs for them to give them paper and ink.
5They began to write, each one his own account.
6When they finished, they exclaimed with one voice: 'Amen!'
7Then they delivered their writings to Annas and Caiaphas.
