Bible Question: I wanted to know where was peter writing from when he worte 1 peter? was it from babylon? Please answer!!! |
Bible Answer: Hello Sandris, From 5:13 we see- "She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark" (NASB) So, the epistle was written from Babylon, but scholars are divided as to whether this refers literally to Babylon in Mesopotamia or symbolically to Rome. Tradition generally holds that Peter spent his last years in Rome. I hope this helps, BradK |
