Subject: Was Peter ever in the city of rome? |
Bible Note: Searcher, That the Bible does not explicitly say Peter went to Rome does not exclude rest of the historical record from shedding light on the historical question which was posed. I don't think the Bible explicity says Paul was there either, although he says he is imprisioned in several epistles. The same extra-Biblical sources attest to Paul's presence in Rome. Strange that the question of Paul was ever in Rome is never raised. The writings of the early Fathers are also useful for learning how the early Church and those men who were instructed by the Apostles interpreted the scriptures and the Gospel handed down to them.
