Gospels | Acts of Pilate |
Jesus is betrayed to Pilate | Jesus is betrayed to hell |
The Jews accuse Jesus before Pilate | Satan accuses Jesus before the "prince of hell" |
Pilate doesn't want to condemn Jesus, knowing his innocence | The 'prince of hell' doesn't want to resist against Jesus, knowing his power |
Pilate condemns Jesus | The 'prince of hell' resists to Jesus |
Jesus rises | Jesus opens the gates of hell |
Pilate repents and blames the Jews | The 'prince of hell' repents and blames Satan |
Hence, assuming the antiquity and relative diffusion of an original Acts of Pilate, is Pilate only the euhemerization of the 'prince of hell' ?
