The Acts of Pilate occasionally referred to as the Gospel of Pilate is a book of New Testament apocrypha.
The first (chapters i-xi) contains the trial of Jesus based upon Luke 2.
The main body of Acta Pilati is in two sections, with an appendix, Descensus ad Infernos-the Harrowing of Hell-that does not exist in the Greek texts, and is a later addition to the Latin versions.
The dates of its accreted sections are uncertain, but scholars agree in assigning it to the middle of the fourth century.
