Holy Lance
The name of the soldier who pierced Christ's side with a "lonchē" is not given in the Gospel of John, but in the oldest known references to the legend, the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus appended to late manuscripts of the 4th century "Acts of Pilate", the soldier is identified as a centurion and called Longinus (making the spear's Latin name "Lancea Longini").
Miracles of Jesus
In the Healing of the man with a withered hand miracle, the Synoptics state that Jesus entered a synagogue on Sabbath, and found a man with a "withered" hand there, whom Jesus healed, having first challenged the people present to decide what was lawful for Sabbath—"to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill". The Gospel of Mark adds that this angered the Pharisees so much that they started to contemplate killing Jesus.
