The Glad Tidings of Nikódemos 12

The "Yehuwthím" threaten Nikódemos and lock Yâhuwçë´ph of Râmâtháyim in a cell

1. Now when the "Yehuwthím" heard that Yâhuwçë´ph had begged the body of Yâhuwshúa`, they sought for him and for the twelve men which said that Yâhuwshúa was not born of fornication, and for Nikódemos and many others which had come forth before Pilátus and declared His good works. But all of them had hidden themselves, and of them only Nikódemos was seen, for he was a chief of the "Yehuwthím". And Nikódemos said unto them: "How did ye come into the assembly?" The "Yehuwthím" say unto him: "How did you come into the assembly, when you were a confederate with Him? For His portion shall be with you in the life to come." Nikódemos says: "’Âmë´n, ’Âmë´n." Likewise Yâhuwçë´ph also came forth and said unto them: "Why is it that ye are vexed against me, because I begged the body of Yâhuwshúa? Look, I have laid it in my new tomb, having wrapped it in clean linen, and I rolled a stone over the door of the cave. But ye have not dealt well with the just One, for ye did not repent when ye had hanged Him, but ye also had Him pierced with a spear." But upon hearing this, the "Yehuwthím" arrested Yâhuwçë´ph and commanded him to be put in safeguard until the first day of the week: and they said unto him: "Know you that the time allows us not to do anything against you, because the shabbâ´th is starting: but know that you shall not obtain burial, but we will give your flesh unto the fowls of the heavens." Yâhuwçë´ph says unto them: "This is the word of Gâlyâ´th the boastful which reproached the living Power and the pure Dâwíth slew. For the Power said by the preilluminator [Moshéh]: "Vengeance is for Me, and retribution," says Yâ-hwéh. [5 Moshéh 32:35] And now, look, one that was uncircumcised, but circumcised in heart [Romans 2:26], took water and washed his hands before the luminary orb, exclaiming: 'I am innocent of the blood of this just Person: ye shall answer to it.' And ye answered Pilátus and said: 'His blood be upon us and upon our sons!' And now I fear lest the wrath of Yâ-hwéh come upon you and upon your sons, as ye have cried out." But when the "Yehuwthím" heard these words they were filled with rage, and seized Yâhuwçë´ph and took him and shut him up in a cell wherein was no window with a grate that would allow the least ray of light to enter, and ChananYâ´huw and Qayë´phâ’ set guards at the door and sealed the keyhole of the lock of the door of the place where Yâhuwçë´ph was shut up. 2. And upon the shabbâ´th day the rulers of the assembly and the priests and the Lwiyyím made an ordinance that all men should appear in the assembly on the first day of the week, and to discuss by what death they should kill Yâhuwçë´ph. And when the council was gathered ChananYâ´huw and Qayë´phâ’ commanded Yâhuwçë´ph to be brought with great dishonor. But when they had removed the seal, they opened the door and they did not find Yâhuwçë´ph in the cell in which they had locked him. And all the people were beside themselves and amazed, because they found the seals closed, and Qayë´phâ’ had the key. And they did not dare anymore to lay hands upon them that had spoken in the behalf of Yâhuwshúa before Pilátus.
