Nicodemus, a character in the New Testament, is revered as a saint in various Christian traditions. He is portrayed as a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who is intrigued by Jesus’s teachings. Both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church traditions believe Nicodemus was a secret follower of Jesus. Some scholars have suggested he may be the historical figure Nicodemus ben Gurion. An apocryphal text called the Gospel of Nicodemus, dated to the mid-4th century, is attributed to him and narrates the Harrowing of Hell.
