Nicodemus ben Gurion
Nicodemus ben Gurion ( "Nakdimon ben Gurion") was a wealthy Jewish man who lived in Jerusalem in the 1st century CE. He is believed by some to be identical to the Nicodemus mentioned in the Gospel of John. Elsewhere he is discussed in Josephus' history, "The Jewish War", and later, rabbinic works: Lamentations Rabbah, Ecclesiastes Rabbah, the Babylonian Talmud, and Avot of Rabbi Natan.
"Ben Gurion" means "son of Gurion" in Hebrew and his real
for burial ().
An apocryphal work under his name—the Gospel of Nicodemus—was produced in the mid-4th century, and is mostly a reworking of the earlier Acts of Pilate, which recounts the Harrowing of Hell.
Although there is no clear source of information about Nicodemus outside the Gospel of John, the "Jewish Encyclopedia" and some historians have speculated that he could be identical to Nicodemus ben Gurion, mentioned in the Talmud as a wealthy and popular holy man reputed to have had miraculous powers.
