The Gospel Of Nicodemus
 AKA The Acts Of Pontius Pilate 

          The Gospel of Nicodemus is supposed by some to have been written by Nicodemus, a disciple of Jesus Christ. It is also noted that Eusebius, in his Ecclesiastical history, claims that the Acts of Pontius Pilate were forged by pagans. But, the evidence in this Gospel proves that it was not the forgery of unbelievers. The Gospel of Nicodemus was in use among Christians and churches at the end of the third century. It was considered Canonical until it's removal by various edicts and councils of the early church.  There is much evidence of supernatural phenomena presented in The Gospel, backed up by Biblical evidence.  Below are verses from The Gospel of Nicodemus with comparative verses taken from the Bible we use today.

Tops Of The Standards Bow To Jesus
1:20 And as Jesus was going in by the ensigns, who carried the standards, the tops of them bowed down and worshipped Jesus.
1:22 But Pilate said to the Jews, I know it is not pleasing to you that the tops of the standards did of themselves bow and worship Jesus; but why do ye exclaim against the ensigns,as if they had bowed and worshipped?
1:25 The ensigns said to Pilate, We are all Pagans and worship the gods in temples; and how should we think anything about worshipping him? We only held the standards in our hands and they bowed themselves and worshipped him.
1:32 And when Jesus went in, the standards bowed themselves as before, and worshipped him.

And I answered, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool.  16 And he said unto me, Rise, take up thy bed and walk. And I was immediately made whole, and took up my bed and walked.

Jesus Performs Miracles
5:21 They told me that Jesus was passing by: then I cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. And he stood still, and commanded that I should be brought to him, and said to me, What wilt thou?  22  I said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.  23 He said to me, Receive thy sight: and presently I saw, and followed him, rejoicing and giving thanks.  24 Another Jew also came forth, and said, I was a leper, and he cured me by his word only, saying, I will, be thou clean; and presently I was cleansed from my leprosy.  25 And another Jew came forth, and said, I was crooked, and he made me straight by his word.  26 And a certain woman named Veronica, said, I was afflicted with an issue of blood twelve years, and I touched the hem of his garments, and presently the issue of my blood stopped.
