The Gospel of Nicodemus And Nicodemus received him into his house and made a great feast, and called Annas and Caiaphas and the elders and the priests and the Levites unto his house. And Nicodemus opened his mouth and said unto Joseph: Father, thou knowest that the reverend doctors and the priests and the Levites seek to learn a matter of thee. And Nicodemus with Joseph comforted Annas and Caiaphas and the priests and the Levites, saying: Rise up and stand on your feet and taste bread and strengthen your souls, for tomorrow is the sabbath of the Lord. www.earlychristianwritings.com /text/gospelnicodemus.html   (12642 words)

Nicodemus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nicodemus (Greek: Νικόδημος) was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, who showed favor to Jesus. The discussion with Jesus is the source of several common expressions of contemporary Christianity, specifically, the descriptive phrase born again used to describe the experience of believing in Jesus as Saviour, and John 3:16, a commonly quoted verse used to describe God's plan of salvation. Nicodemus was the name of a hybrid flower from the first season episode the of WB show Smallville, ep. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nicodemus   (208 words)

Apocryphal Gospels (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools The undoubted early date of this gospel, the character of most of its not very numerous quotations, the respect with which it is uniformly mentioned by early writers, and the esteem in which it is at present held by scholars in general, entitle the Gospel according to the Hebrews to special notice. A Gospel of Barnabas and Gospel of Bartholomew are condemned in the decree of Pope Gelasius. In all of the gospels of this class it is noteworthy that considering the desire of the writers of non-canonical gospels to multiply miracles, no notice is taken of the period in the life of Christ that intervened between his twelfth year and his thirtieth. bibletools.org /index.cfm/fuseaction/Def.show/RTD/ISBE/ID/612   (4285 words)

Nicodemus Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews. But Christ and the apostles didn't portray the gospel as an invitation to the unbeliever, but as the means by which the Spirit creates faith in the hearts of the elect, and as the power of God unto salvation for those who do believe. Jesus' patient explanation of the gospel to Nicodemus, then, is further evidence for, not against, the conclusion that he was already born again, if very newly. www.elvenminstrel.com /kontext/nicodemus.htm   (1377 words)

Joseph of Arimathea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There, assisted by Nicodemus, he took the body and wrapped it in the fine linen, sprinkling it with the myrrh and aloes which Nicodemus had brought (John 19:39). Joseph is also referenced in apocryphal and non-canonical accounts such as the Acts of Pilate given the medieval title "Gospel of Nicodemus" and "The Narrative of Joseph". According to the Gospel of Nicodemus, Joseph testified to the Jewish elders, and specifically to Chief priest Caiaphas and Annas that Jesus had risen from the dead and ascended to heaven and he indicated that others were raised from the dead at the resurrection of Christ (repeating Matt 27:52-53). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea   (2806 words)

Matthew Z. Heintzelman - Dissertation Summary It was his version of the Gospel of Nicodemus (and the description of the trial of Jesus in the Acts of Pilate) which was to be the most popular in the later Middle Ages. The subsequent treatments of the Acts of Pilate/Gospel of Nicodemus in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (Heinrich von München's Weltchronik, Die Neue Ee, numerous translations) enhanced the text's authority as an eyewitness report of the events surrounding the trial of Jesus. Nicodemus was no longer the main witness to the trial, but his account was still considered useful background reading. employees.csbsju.edu /mheintzelman/summary.htm   (3242 words)

from jesus to christ: the story of the storytellers: the gospel of john That is, the Gospel of John constructs the speeches of Jesus in an effort to interpret traditional sayings of Jesus. Nicodemus comes to Jesus and recognizes he is a great teacher, he's come from God, and Jesus now tells him something that is, in fact, the quotation of a traditional baptismal saying. I mean, in one sense, if we remove the Gospel of John from the Christian canon, if we didn't have it right next to Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and instead, if we put the gospel of John next to the Dead Sea Scroll library, we'd see the sorts of issues that Jews fight about forever. www.pbs.org /wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/story/john.html   (2205 words)

Profiles in Discipleship in John's Gospel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Nicodemus is a "leader of the Jews"(3:1), "a teacher of Israel" (3:10), and a member of the religious party most opposed to the teaching of Jesus. For a Gospel that announces a new Genesis founded upon Christ ("In the beginning was the Word."), merely calling Jesus a good rabbi is woefully inadequate. Nicodemus is the first of what we might loosely call the official clergy with whom Jesus has personal engagement. www.rc.net /wcc/johnptii.htm   (375 words)

The Gospel of Nicodemus Nicodemus was more than just "a certain Jew," but a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews; his first encounter with Jesus is recorded in John 3. Nicodemus said, I spoke to the elders of the Jews, and the scribes, and priests and Levites, and all the multitude of the Jews in their assembly; what is it you would do with this man? Nicodemus answered, Amen; so may it be, that I may have my lot with him in his kingdom. ministries.tliquest.net /theology/apocryphas/nt/nicodem.htm   (8995 words)

Bible Study - The Gospel Of Thomas The four actual Gospel books of The Bible are of course Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The "Gospel of Thomas" was discovered in 1945 near Nag Hammadi, between Cairo and Luxor in Egypt. The sayings may be interesting to read as a matter of curiosity, but it should always be kept in mind that the "Gospel of Thomas" is not a part of the Bible, and that if God had wanted it included, it would have been long ago. www.keyway.ca /htm2000/20000408.htm   (322 words)

The Gospel Of Nicodemus  AKA The Acts Of Pontius Pilate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The Gospel of Nicodemus is supposed by some to have been written by Nicodemus, a disciple of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Nicodemus was in use among Christians and churches at the end of the third century.

Joseph of Arimathea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Yet, while little is written about Joseph in the Gospels themselves, he was a popular figure in both apocryphal (non-canonical) accounts ("Gospel of Nicodemus", "The Narrative of Joseph"), and in numerous medieval Arthurian epics, including Mallory's "Le Morte D'Arthur", and Robert de Boron's "Joseph d'Arimathie". Certainly, the Gospels identify Joseph as a disciple (although not apostle) of Christ, and he is also identified as having taken down the body of Christ from the cross, and preparing it for burial. While he appears to be a fairly minor player in the canonical Gospels, he, not Mary, Mother of Jesus, not Mary Magdalen, and not any of the apostles, is entrusted with the act of taking Jesus down from the cross, respectfully preparing him for burial, and donating a tomb for the body. www.sundayschoolcourses.com /joseph/joscont.htm   (6943 words)

Longinus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The name "Longinus", is the given in the gospel of Nicodemus to the soldier who pierced the side of Christ. These Gospels both say that the centurion present at the death of Jesus testified, "'In truth this man was son of God'" (Matthew 27:54, Mark 15:39), and Luke tells us the centurion "gave praise to God" and exclaimed "'Truly, this was an upright man'" (Luke 23:47). The Gospel of Nicodemus also mentions the centurion referred to in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, as saying: But when the centurion saw that Jesus thus crying out gave up the ghost, he glorified God, and said, Of a truth this was a just man (Nicodemus 8:5). www.theomegaconspiracy.com /longinus.htm   (2989 words)

John - A Gospel to Silence the Gnostics By taking the earliest possible date for P52 – 125 AD rather than the equally valid 150 AD – and then supposing that John was the last of the 4 gospels to be written, the other 3 gospels are pushed back into the 1st century. – the advanced theology of the fourth gospel is difficult to reconcile with the homely simplicity of the synoptics; this is allegedly an old fisherman’s tale, after all.
