Saints of GOD I want to give you all an even deeper view of what happened with Our BELOVED WONDERFUL SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS, here is the account according to The Gospel of Nicodemus formerly known as the Acts of Pontius Pilate in the Lost Books, with reference scriptures to verify these infallible proofs:

Chapter VIII.

1 Miraculous appearance at his death. 10 The Jews say the eclipse was natural. 12 Joseph of

Arimathæa embalms Christ's body and buries it.

AND it was about the sixth hour, [note: Matt. xxvii. 45, &c.] and darkness was upon the face of

the whole earth until the ninth hour.

2 And while the sun was eclipsed, behold the vail of the temple was rent from the top to the

bottom; and the rocks also were rent, and the graves opened, and many bodies of saints,

which slept, arose.

3 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Hely, Hely, lama

zabacthani? which being interpreted, is, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?

4 And after these things, Jesus said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and having

said this, he gave up the ghost.

5 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.

6 And all the people who stood by, were exceedingly troubled at the sight; and reflecting upon

what had passed, smote upon their breasts, and then returned to the city of Jerusalem.

7 The centurion went to the governor, and related to him all that had passed;

8 And when he had heard all these things, he was exceeding sorrowful;

9 And calling the Jews together, said to them, Have ye seen the miracle of the sun's eclipse,

and the other things which came to pass, while Jesus was dying?

10 Which when the Jews heard, they answered to the governor, The eclipse of the sun

happened according to its usual custom.

11 But all those who were the acquaintance of Christ, stood at a distance, as did the women

who had followed Jesus from Galilee, observing all these things.

12 And [note: John xix. 88.] behold a certain man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also was

a disciple of Jesus, but not openly so, for fear of the Jews, came to the governor, and

entreated the governor that he would give him leave to take away the body of Jesus from the

cross.

13 And the governor gave him leave.

14 And Nicodemus came, bringing with him a mixture of myrrh and aloes about a hundred

pound weight; and they took down Jesus from the cross with tears, and bound him with linen

cloths with spices, according to the custom of burying among the Jews,

15 And placed him in a new tomb, which Joseph had built, and caused to be cut out of a rock,

in which never any man had been put; and they rolled a great stone to the door of the

sepulchre.

Chapter IX.

1 The Jews angry with Nicodemus; 5 and with Joseph of Arimathæa, 7 whom they imprison.

WHEN the unjust Jews heard that Joseph had begged and buried the body of Jesus, they

sought after Nicodemus; and those fifteen men who had testified before the Governor, that

Jesus was not born through fornication, and other good persons who had shewn any good

actions towards him.

2 But when they all concealed themselves through fear of the Jews Nicodemus alone shewed

himself to them, and said, How can such persons as these enter into the synagogue?

3 The Jews answered him, But how durst thou enter into the synagogue who wast a

confederate with Christ? Let thy lot be along with him in the other world.

4 Nicodemus answered, Amen; so may it be, that I may have my lot with him in his kingdom.

5 In like manner Joseph, when he came to the Jews, said to them Why are ye angry with me

for desiring the body of Jesus of Pilate? Behold, I have put him in my tomb, and wrapped him

up in clean linen, and put a stone at the door of the sepulchre:6 I have acted rightly towards him; but ye have acted unjustly aghast that just person, in

crucifying him, giving him vinegar to drink, crowning him with thorns, tearing his body with

whips, and prayed down the guilt of his blood upon you.

7 The Jews at the hearing of this were disquieted, and troubled; and they seized Joseph, and

commanded him to be put in custody before the sabbath, and kept there till the sabbath was

over.

8 And they said to him, Make confession; for at this time it is not lawful to do thee any harm, till

the first day of the week come. But we know that thou wilt not be thought worthy of a burial;

but we will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and the beasts of the earth.

9 Joseph answered, That speech is like the speech of proud Goliath, who reproached the living

God in speaking against David. But ye scribes and doctors know that God saith by the

prophet, Vengeance is mine, and I

will repay to you [note: Deut. xxxii. 35; Heb. x. 40.] evil equal to that which ye have threatened

to me.

10 The God whom you have hanged upon the cross, is able to deliver me out of your hands. All

your wickedness will return upon you.

11 For the governor, when he washed his hands, said, I am clear from the blood of this just

person. But ye answered and cried out, His blood be upon us and our children. According as

ye have said, may ye perish for ever.

12 The elders of the Jews hearing these words, were exceedingly enraged; and seizing Joseph,

they put him into a chamber where there was no window; they fastened the door, and put a

seal upon the lock;

13 And Annas and Caiaphas placed a guard upon it, and took counsel with the priests and

Levites, that they should all meet after the sabbath, and they contrived to what death they

should put Joseph.

14 When they had done this, the rulers, Annas and Caiaphas, ordered Joseph to be brought

forth.

¶ In this place there is a portion of the Gospel lost or omitted, which cannot be supplied.

Chapter X.

1 Joseph's escape. 2 The soldiers relate Christ's resurrection. 18 Christ is seen preaching in

Galilee. 21 The Jews repent of their cruelty to him.

WHEN all the assembly heard this, they admired and were astonished, because they found the

same seal upon the lock of the chamber, and could not find Joseph.

2 Then Annas and Caiaphas went forth, and while they were all admiring at Joseph's being

gone, behold one of the soldiers, who kept the sepulchre of Jesus, spake in the assembly.

3 That [note: Matt. xxviii. 11, 12, &c.] while they were guarding the sepulchre of Jesus, there

was an earthquake; and we saw an angel of God roll away the stone of the sepulchre and

[note: Matt. xxviii. 1, 2, &c.] sit upon it;

4 And his countenance was like lightning and his garment like snow; and we became through

fear like persons dead.

5 And we heard an angel saying to the women at the sepulchre of Jesus, Do not fear; I know

that you seek Jesus who was crucified; he is risen as he foretold.

6 Come and see the place where he was laid; and go presently, and tell his disciples that he is

risen from the dead, and he will go before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him as he told

you.

7 Then the Jews called together all the soldiers who kept the sepulchre of Jesus, and said to

them, Who are those women, to whom the angel spoke? Why did ye not seize them?

8 The soldiers answered and said, We know not whom the women were; besides we became

as dead persons through fear, and how could we seize those women?

9 The Jews said to them, As the Lord liveth we do not believe you.10 The soldiers answering said to the Jews, when ye saw and heard Jesus working so many

miracles, and did not believe him, how should ye believe us? Ye well said, As the Lord liveth,

for the Lord truly does live.

11 We have heard that ye shut up Joseph, who buried the body of Jesus, in a chamber, under

a lock which was sealed; and when ye opened it, found him not there.

12 Do ye then produce Joseph whom ye put under guard in the chamber, and we will produce

Jesus whom we guarded in the sepulchre.

13 The Jews answered and said, We will produce Joseph, do ye produce Jesus. But Joseph is

in his own city of Arimathæa.

14 The soldiers replied, If Joseph be in Arimathæa, and Jesus in Galilee, we heard the angel

inform the women.

15 The Jews hearing this, were afraid, and said among themselves, If by any means these

things should become public, then every body will believe in Jesus.

16 Then they gathered a large sum of money, and gave it to the soldiers, saying, Do ye tell the

people that the disciples of Jesus came in the night when ye were asleep and stole away the

body of Jesus; and if Pilate the governor should hear of this, we will satisfy him and secure

you.

17 The soldiers accordingly took the money, and said as they were instructed by the Jews; and

their report was spread abroad among the people.

18 ¶ But a certain priest Phinees, Ada a schoolmaster, and a Levite, named Ageus, they three

came from Galilee to Jerusalem, and told the chief priests and all who were in the synagogues,

saying,

19 We have seen Jesus, whom ye crucified, talking with his eleven disciples, and sitting in the

midst of them in Mount Olivet, and saying to them, [note: Matt. xxviii. 16. and Mark xvi. 16.]

20 Go forth into the whole world, preach the Gospel to all nations, baptizing them in the name

of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and whosoever shall believe and be baptized,

shall be saved.

21 And when he had said these things to his disciples, we saw him ascending up to heaven.

22 When the chief priests, and elders, and Levites heard these things, they said to these three

men, Give glory to the God of Israel, and make confession to him, whether those things are

true, which ye say ye have seen and heard.

23 They answering said, As the Lord of our fathers liveth, the God of Abraham, and the God of

Isaac, and the God of Jacob, according as we heard Jesus talking with his disciples, and

according as we saw him ascending up to heaven, so we have related the truth to you.

24 And the three men farther answered, and said, adding these words, If we should not own

the words which we heard Jesus speak, and that we saw him ascending into heaven, we

should be guilty of sin.

25 Then the chief priests immediately rose up, and holding the book of the law in their hands,

conjured these men, saying, Ye shall no more hereafter declare those things which ye have

spoke concerning Jesus.

26 And they gave them a large sum of money, and sent other persons along with them, who

should conduct them to their own country, that they might not by any means make any stay at

Jerusalem.

27 Then the Jews did assemble all together, and having expressed the most lamentable

concern, said, What is this extraordinary thing which is come to pass in Jerusalem?

28 But Annas and Caiaphas comforted them, saying, Why should we believe the soldiers who

guarded the sepulchre of Jesus, in telling us, that an angel rolled away the stone from the door

of the sepulchre?

29 Perhaps his own disciples told them this, and gave them money that they should say so,

and they themselves took away the body of Jesus.30 Besides, consider this, that there is no credit to be given to foreigners, [note: Heathens.]

because they also took a large sum of us, and they have declared to us according to the

instructions which we gave them. They must either be faithful to us,  or to the disciples of Jesus.

I pray that this enlightens, encourages, comforts, as well as bless you all and gives you an even deeper understanding of what our SAVIOR ENDURED for us. IN THE MIGHTY AND MATCHLESS NAME OF YESHUA/JESUS I PRAY, AMEN AND AMEN.
