Antisemitism, occasionally called anti-Judaism or Judaeophobia, was a feature of many early Christian documents, including the canonical New Testament and various New Testament apocrypha.
The so-called Pilate cycle of gospel writings is characterized by anti-Jewish sentiment. [1]
In the Letter of Pilate to Claudius, Pontius Pilate does not execute Jesus to appease the Jewish leaders; it is the Jewish leaders themselves who crucify Jesus. [2] The text does, however, make a distinction between the Jewish people (who believe in Jesus) and their leaders (who hate him). [2]
The Vengeance of the Saviour, usually include in the Pilate cycle, treats the fall of Jerusalem as divine retribution for the Jews' role in the death of Jesus. [3]
The medieval Narrative of Joseph of Arimathea speaks of "murderous Jews" and concludes with an attack on the Law of Moses. [4]
