First written, as alleged, in Latin, by Fabricius Albinus, a playmate of Pilate; translated into Arabic by Jerasimus Jared, late Bishop of Zahleh, in Lebanon and rendered from the Arabic into English by B. Shehani in 1893
The Confession of Pontius Pilate" is a fascinating dramatic dialogue between Pontius Pilate and his close friend Fabricius in which he recounts, from his perspective, the events surrounding the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Whether the author was Fabricius himself, or it was written by an unknown author at a later date, the story sticks closely to the biblical narrative while providing additional insights into the internal conflicts of Pontius Pilate over his role in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ that led to his eventual suicide.
