Where did Peter go after this? Why did Luke not mention about the Apostle Peter anymore and only concentrate on the life and ministry of Paul? | ||||||
2 | Where did Peter go? | Acts 12:17 | Emmaus | 97472 | ||
Lois, Keep in mind that Luke traveled with Paul, not Peter and so as time passed he was more familiar with Paul, while Peter had moved on to other locales with other companions. notably the Evangelist Mark. Below is a repost (I originally posted 2-5-03). I was at the bookstore on my lunch hour and was looking over a new Study Bible on Acts. The final part of the introduction overview spoke about some features of Acts that appeared to be an apologetic defense of Paul's ministry against his detractors who were trying to undermine his unique status as a post Resurrection Apostle, who rather than helping to establish the Church had actually persecuted it. 2Cor 11:4-6; 12:11; Gal 6:12. Luke establishes Paul's credentials by comparing him to Peter in these ways: Both delivered inaugural sermons focusing on the Davidic Covenant. 2:22-36; 13:26-41 Both appealed to Psalm 16 in relation to the Resurrection. 2:25-28; 13:35 Both healed cripples. 3:1-10; 14:8-10 Both filled with the Holy Spirit. 4:8; 13:9 Both were renowned for extraordinary miracles. 5:15-16; 19:11-12 Both conferred the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. 8:14-17; 19:6 Both confront and rebuke a magician. 8:18-24; 13:6-11 Both raise the dead. 9:36-41; 20:9-12 Both refuse divine worship. 10:25-26; 14:11-15 Both delivered from prison miraculously. 12:6-11; 16:25-34 Paul also called by Jesus. 9:1-19; 22:3-16; 26:2-18 So demonstrating by parallels that Peter and Paul had the same preaching, the same power and the same protection.

Greetings Emmaus, I did look at the website that you have provided, which had some good material on Peter. I checked "Fox's Book of Martyrs" and found this entry: "Peter Among many other saints, the blessed apostle Peter was condemned to death, and crucified, as some do write, at Rome; albeit some others, and not without cause, do doubt thereof. Hegesippus saith that Nero sought matter against Peter to put him to death; which, when the people perceived, they entreated Peter with much ado that he would fly the city. Peter, through their importunity at length persuaded, prepared himself to avoid. But, coming to the gate, he saw the Lord Christ come to meet him, to whom he, worshipping, said, "Lord, whither dost Thou go?" To whom He answered and said, "I am come again to be crucified." By this, Peter, perceiving his suffering to be understood, returned into the city. Jerome saith that he was crucified, his head being down and his feet upward, himself so requiring, because he was (he said) unworthy to be crucified after the same form and manner as the Lord was." And of course, of Nero we know that he was: "The fifth Roman emperor, born at Antium December 15, 37 AD, began to reign October 13, 54, died June 9, 68." (International Standard Bible Encylopedia) Blessings to you, Makarios |
