Gospel of Nicodemus information

The Gospel of Nicodemus, also known as the Acts of Pilate^[1] (Latin: Acta Pilati; Greek: Πράξεις Πιλάτου, translit. Praxeis Pilatou), is an apocryphal gospel claimed to have been derived from an original Hebrew work written by Nicodemus, who appears in the Gospel of John as an associate of Jesus. The title "Gospel of Nicodemus" is medieval in origin.^[2] The dates of its accreted sections are uncertain, but the work in its existing form is thought to date to around the 4th or 5th century AD.^[2]^[3]

The author was probably a Hellenistic Jew who converted to Christianity, or, as Tischendorf and Maury conclude, a Christian imbued with Judaic and Gnostic beliefs.^[4]
