The Glad Tidings of Nikódemos 28

Pilátus in the temple

After these things Pilátus entered into the temple of the "Yehuwthím" and gathered together all the chief of the priests, and the teachers and scribes and instructors of the Law, and went in with them into the pure place (28) of the temple and commanded all the doors to be shut, and said unto them: "We have heard that ye have in this temple a certain great Scroll collection; wherefore I ask you that it be presented before us." And when that great Scroll collection adorned with gold and precious jewels was brought by four assistants, Pilátus said to them all: "I adjure you by the Power of your fathers which has made and commanded you to build this temple in the place of His pure place, that ye hide not the truth from me. Ye know all the things that are written in this Scroll collection; but show me now if ye have found in the scriptures that this Yâhuwshúa` Whom ye have hanged is the Son of the Power which should come for the salvation of mankind, and explain to me in what year of the times He must come. Declare unto me whether ye hanged Him in ignorance or knowingly." And when they were thus adjured by the governor, ChananYâ´huw and Qayë´phâ’ commanded all the rest that were with them to go out of from there; and they themselves shut all the doors of the temple and of the pure place, and said unto Pilátus: "You have adjured us, O excellent judge, by the building of this temple to make manifest unto you the Truth and a true account of the secrets. Now, After that we had hanged Yâhuwshúa, ignoring that he was the Son of the Power, but supposing that by divination He did His wondrous works, we made a great assembly in this same temple; and as we conferred one with another concerning the signs of the mighty works which Yâhuwshúa had done, we found many witnesses of our own race who assured us that they had seen Yâhuwshúa alive after the suffering of His death, and that He was passed into the height of the heavens. Moreover, we saw two witnesses whom Yâhuwshúa raised from the dead, and we have held in our hands their account in writing of many marvelous things which Yâhuwshúa did among the dead! Now our custom is that every year before our assembly we open this pure Scroll and inquire the testimony of the Power. And we have found in the first scroll (29) of the Seventy how that Miykhâ’ë´l the Chief Envoy spoke unto the third son of the dirt-man (’âthâ´m) the first man concerning the four thousand years [2 dirt-man and causing-life 12:6], wherein should descend [to sh’ówl] the most beloved Son of the Power, even the Anointed One [1 dirt-man and causing-life 3:1-6, 16, 7:2, 10:8]: and furthermore we have thought that peradventure this Same One was the Power of Yisrâ’ë´l which said unto Moshéh: "And you shall make an atonement cover lid (atonement plate) of pure gold, two cubits and a half in length, and one cubit and a half in width [2 Moshéh 25:17] (30)."For by those four cubits we have understood and known the design of the propitiation cover lid of the container-box (31) of the covenant (32), symbolism meaning that in four thousand years Yâhuwshúa the Anointed [the Propitiation] should come onto the Container-Box of His body [the believers (33)] [Songs 132:8, Romans 3:25]: so we have found that He is the Power of Yisrâ’ë´l, even the Son of the Power. For after His suffering, we the chief of the priests, because we marveled at the signs which came to pass on his account did open the Scroll, and searched out all the generations unto the generation of Yâhuwçë´ph, and Miryâ´m the mother of Yâhuwshúa, accepting her to be of the seed of Dâwíth: and we found that from the day when the Power made the heaven and the earth and the first man, from that time unto the Flood are 1656 years: and from the Flood unto the building of the tower 340 years [1996]: and from the building of the tower unto ’Avrâhâ´m's promise 53 years [birth of Yitschâ´q 2049]: and from ’Avrâhâ´m's promise unto the coming of the sons of Yisrâ’ë´l out of Mitsráyim 400 years [2449]: and from the going of the sons of Yisrâ’ë´l out of Mitsráyim unto the building of the temple 487 years [2936]: and from the building of the temple unto the destruction of the same temple 422 years [3358]: so far found we in the Scroll of Esdras: and inquiring from the burning of the temple unto the coming of the Anointed One and His birth [3969] we found it to be 610 years, which together with His lifetime [30½] were four thousand years [4000] like as we found it written in the Scroll that Miykhâ’ë´l the chief Envoy declared before unto Shëth the third son of the dirt-man (’âthâ´m), that after four thousand years the Anointed One, the Son of the Power would come onto the Container-box of His body. So it turns out that Yâhuwshúa, Whom we have hanged, is the true Anointed One, the Son of the Power. Hitherto have we told no man, lest there should be a schism in our assemblies; and now, O excellent judge, you have adjured us by this pure Scroll of the testimonies of the Power, and we do declare it unto you: and we also have adjured you by your life and soundness that you declare not these words unto any man in Yruwshâláim.

(28) Not the separate one of the pure places, but because Pilátus was considered a heathen, it is momentous that he was allowed into the pure place because this would not have been allowed (See Deeds 21:28).
(29) This reference, found in the 2 dirt-man and causing-life 12:6, indicates that it was counted as part of the 1 dirt-man and causing-life, and also indicates further proof that Miykhâ’ë´l the Chief Envoy is the envoy name of the Word of Yâ-hwéh.
(30) "And in height one cubit and a half" was added in by scribes who mistakenly quoted 2 Moshéh 25:10 as they believed that it would be five and a half days, which is the sum of the container-box's dimensions, not the atonement plate.
(31) Translated by the establishment as "ark".
(32) Source text: "old covenant". This is corrected to "covenant" although in 2 Moshéh it is not called this, and could very well be "testimony" which it contained.
(33) The lid, representing the Anointed, was pure gold. The container-box, representing the convocation (His body), was wood covered with gold. The propitiation cover made the view from the throne above the two Kruwvíym be pure gold, and He would meet and commune with us from there upon the container-box containing the testimony He gave us, as He resides in us who maintain the testimony of His Word within us. Yet though we understand the body spiritually as the Convocation, in Songs 132:8 where they are quoting, it says "Pure One" (LXX), referring to the Container-Box of His physical body also. This undocumented scriptural citation proves this book to be inspired and historical fact.
(34) Yâhuwshúa did not preach to these people in vain. They did eventually believe, and His prayer that His Father forgive them for they do not know what they do did in fact get a response, these did convert. However, they did not tell anyone but Pilátus apparently, because they are on record in Deeds of the Delegates as being the worst enemies of those who did testify, and the rebellion of the "Yehuwthím" continued because they kept it a secret.
