Acta Pilate (Letter of Pilate to Caesar about Jesus, His Crucifixion & Resurrection) - ARCHKO VOL.
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" - Jesus, Matt 22:21
All Jews Pay Heed; Who Was This Nazarene, Jesus The Christ?
“Either the author of nature is suffering or the universe is falling apart”
ARCHKO VOLUME or ARCHEOLOGICAL WRITINGS OF THE SANHEDRIM AND TALMUDS OF THE JEWS
is a collection of texts dating from the first century, discovered in the XIXth century in Constantinopole
- they have been translated in English and published in 1913, then preserved in the Library of Vatican.
The Pilate cycle is a group of various pieces of early Christian literature that purport to either be written
by Pontius Pilate, or else otherwise closely describe his activities and the Passion of Jesus.
In The Letter of Pilate to Herod ,Pilate expresses remorse over executing Jesus. His messengers sent to Galilee
find the resurrected Jesus and confirm his divine power. He, his wife Procla, and the centurion Longinus all
convert to Christianity, and affirm Christian teachings. Pilate describes being personally blessed by a
vision of the Lord.
After Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire and after the fall of the Western Roman Empire,
Western attitudes toward Pilate became more hostile again, as there was no longer a need to justify to pagan
rulers that Christians were harmless and not criminals.
The Acta Pilati or Acts of Pilate is a Christian text that records Jesus's trial, execution, and resurrection and expands upon the details given from the gospels. It is by far the most popular and well-read of Pilate-related apocrypha, being compiled in the Gospel of Nicodemus (Evangelium Nicodemi) in the 9th century, which was a popular work among medieval European Christians.
The Acts of Pilate was very popular; over 500 ancient manuscripts survive in a variety of languages and versions, indicating it was translated, copied, and modified many times across Christendom. It proved especially popular in Western Christianity, with many surviving copies of the Latin translation.
The versions identifying themselves as the Gospel of Nicodemus include a prologue where an author identifying himself as Ananias, a bodyguard of Pilate, claims to be translating a Hebrew work by Nicodemus. The main Acts of Pilates then proceeds to describe Jesus's trial; in it, Pilate is portrayed positively, as someone who recognizes Jesus's greater authority as king. The Jewish leaders accuse Jesus of being a sorcerer. Jesus is brought in to be questioned, and the Roman standards (aquila) bow down and worship him. Pilate finds nothing to charge Jesus with; various witnesses attest to Jesus's miracles of healing. Pilate says he is innocent of the matter, while the Jews quote the Gospel of Matthew's claim that they said "his blood be upon us and our children," a phrase repeated three times in the work. At Jesus's execution, the day turning to night is written off by the Jews as a natural eclipse of the sun. Jesus's resurrection proceeds similar to a harmonized account that attempts to combine all the gospel versions. Nicodemus searches for the resurrected Jesus, but instead finds only Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph, a rabbi named Levi, and other witnesses testify to Jesus's resurrection and divine nature.
The B version includes various content not directly related to Pilate. It includes chapters on the Harrowing of Hell, which describes exactly what happened while Jesus was dead after his execution. In it, a dead John the Baptist preaches in Hades (the realm) to other dead figures of the Jewish scriptures including Adam and Seth, the patriarchs, and the prophets, and tells of Jesus's coming. Satan is misled into believing that Jesus is a mere human, and encourages Hades (the deity) to trap him. However, Jesus instead smashes the gates of Hades with his authority, freeing and saving the dead. Satan is bound by angels and given over to Hades in death to await the Second Coming of Jesus.
