Gospel of peter
The Gospel of Peter is an early Christian text that is considered to be a non-canonical gospel. It is believed to have been written in the mid-2nd century, around the same time as the four canonical gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
The Gospel of Peter contains an account of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, as well as some additional material not found in the canonical gospels. One of the most notable differences between the Gospel of Peter and the canonical gospels is the portrayal of the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, who is depicted as being sympathetic to Jesus and reluctant to condemn him to death.
The Gospel of Peter also includes a vivid description of the resurrection, which describes Jesus emerging from the tomb accompanied by two angels. This account includes details such as a talking cross and a walking, talking cross that accompanies Jesus out of the tomb.
Despite its interesting and unique content, the Gospel of Peter is not considered to be a reliable historical source for the life of Jesus. Its authorship and original audience are also uncertain, and it was not included in the canon of the New Testament. Nonetheless, the Gospel of Peter provides valuable insights into the early Christian community and its beliefs.
