Acts of John

Ascribed to the apostle John, told partly in his companions' voice ('we'); author unknown, traditionally called the Leucian Acts and probably written in Asia Minor in the 2nd century AD. The beginning is lost; what survives opens with John on the road to Ephesus. Miracles of raising the dead, the destruction of the temple of Artemis, the Hymn of Christ and the Round Dance, and an account of Jesus that leans strongly on his appearing in different forms (a Docetic strand), ending with John's death. James's translation also includes the Latin-only episodes, seeded here as their own chapter.
