Bible Question: One of the diciples was killed by being hung on a cross upside down. Was it Paul or Peter or ????? |
Bible Answer: As Steve has pointed out, it was Peter the apostle who was hanged upside down according to tradition. There is a touching story connected with this tradition. When his executioners brought Peter to the foot of the cross upon which they were going to hang him, he requested that he be hanged upside down, because he did not consider himself worthy to be hanged in the same manner as his Lord had been. --Hank |
