Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume VIII/Apocrypha of the New Testament/Acts of Pilate: First Greek Form/Chapter 6

Chapter 6.

One of the Jews, stepping up, asked leave of the procurator to say a word.&#160; The procurator says:&#160; If thou wishest to say any thing, say on.&#160; And the Jew said:&#160; Thirty-eight years I lay in my bed in great agony.&#160; And when Jesus came, many demoniacs, and many lying ill of various diseases, were cured by him.&#160; And some young men, taking pity on me, carried me, bed and all, and took me to him.&#160; And when Jesus saw me, he had compassion on me, and said to me:&#160; Take up thy couch and walk.&#160; And I took up my couch, and walked.&#160; The Jews say to Pilate:&#160; Ask him on what day it was that he was cured.&#160; He that had been cured says:&#160; On a Sabbath. &#160; The Jews say:&#160; Is not this the very thing that we said, that on a Sabbath he cures and casts out demons?

And another Jew stepped up and said:&#160; I was born blind; I heard sounds, but saw not a face.&#160; And as Jesus passed by, I cried out with a loud voice, Pity me, O son of David.&#160; And he pitied me, and put his hands upon my eyes, and I instantly received my sight. &#160; And another Jew stepped up and said:&#160; I was crooked, and he straightened me with a word.&#160; And another said:&#160; I was a leper, and he cured me with a word.
