The Acts of Pilate was one of the most influent apocryphal accounts of Jesus’ passion (Passion Narrative) and resurrection (Resurrection of Jesus Christ) during the Middle Ages. It is also called the “Gospel of Nicodemus” (Evangelium Nicodemi) – a title commonly used in western Christianity from the 12th century onward. It had been composed in Greek and was shortly thereafter translated to and adapted in many languages.
