Gospel of Nicodemus 11

Acts of Pilate

Levi the doctor said: 'When Jesus was born, the doctor Simeon said: My eyes have seen your salvation.'

2'This one was appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel and to be a sign of contradiction.'

3The rulers of the synagogues sent messengers to Galilee to confirm the testimonies.

4The three masters Adas, Phinees and Haggai confirmed: 'We saw Jesus on Mount Mamilch and his ascension to heaven.'

5Annas said: 'Let us separate them and see if their statements coincide.' And the three gave the same testimony.

6Annas and Caiaphas said: 'We saw Jesus receive blows, be scourged and crucified. But now they say he lives in Galilee.'

7And all the doctors said: 'If his memory endures, know that his dominion will be eternal.'
