Gospel of Nicodemus 7

Acts of Pilate

Others testified: 'He healed lepers, the bent over and those with hemorrhages with a word.'

2A woman named Berenice (Veronica) said: 'Being ill with hemorrhage for twelve years, I touched the hem of his garment and was healed.'

3Others affirmed: 'This man is a prophet and the demons are subject to him.'

4Others affirmed that he had raised Lazarus from the tomb, already dead for forty days.

5Pilate said: 'Why are you so eager to shed innocent blood?'

6The Jews shouted: 'Barabbas!' And Pilate said: 'What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?' The Jews answered: 'Let him be crucified!'

7And Pilate washed his hands saying: 'I am innocent of the blood of this just man; you will see to it.' The Jews said: 'His blood be upon us and upon our children.'
