The most interesting scene in Peter that is absent from the New Testament gospels is one in which the risen Jesus is actually seen leaving the sepulchre. With parallels to Matthew, the priests worry about how to keep from the ordinary people of Jerusalem the fact that Jesus rose from the dead.
The gospel writer who was a companion of Peter is Mark. Traditionally, the Gospel of Mark is believed to have been based on the teachings and experiences of Peter, as Mark is often regarded as Peter's interpreter. This connection highlights the close relationship between Peter and Mark, particularly in the early Christian community.
A:This would be Mark's Gospel because of the widespread belief that Mark was related to Peter, who supposedly taught Mark about Jesus, and the attribution of this Gospel to Mark.
St. Peter was not the direct author of any Gospel. However, scholars think that Peter worked with Mark to produce Mark's gospel. Mark was not an eye-witness of Jesus, whereas Peter was. There is a so-called "Gospel of Peter", but it's not actually by Peter. Scholars generally agree that it was written in the 2nd half of the 2nd century, and is therefore pseudepigraphical (bearing the name of an author who did not actually compose the text - a fairly common and accepted practice in those days, not necessarily an attempt to deceive). It was rejected by the church fathers. For further info, see Wikipedia on 'Gospel of Peter'.

because they thought that the gospel was for the Jews only

Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), named Mark as the author of the formerly anonymous gospel now known as Mark's Gospel, saying that he was the 'interpreter' of Peter, presumably as if Mark had written from Peter's memory and notes as his secretary (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 3.39). Since the other gospel authors are now known to have relied, directly or indirectly, on Mark as their source document for the life and mission of Jesus, this would mean that all four gospel accounts are ultimately Peter's memoirs, pewrhpas with elaborations and improvements.Papias' claim may have originated with the first epistle of Peter (l Peter 5:13), a pseudonymous document from the second century, in which a Mark is mentioned as Peter's son. He no doubt saw gospel authorship by Peter's son as a reasonable possibility and, since the Gospel needed an author, attributed it to Mark. However, there is no reason to believe that Peter really had a son called Mark, nor to accept Papias' reasoning in naming this or any other Mark as the author of the Gospel that now bears this name.
Mark's Gospel was originally written anonymously and remained so until Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), named Mark as the author of the gospel and the 'interpreter' of Peter. The pseudepigraphical second-century First Epistle of Peter (1 Peter) refers to Mark as Peter's son. However, scholars say there is no good reason to believe that Mark was the real author of the Gospel that now bears his name.
This section begins in Acts 9:32 and ends in Acts 11:18 and tells us about Peter preaching the gospel to gentiles. Acts 10 is about a Roman centurion Cornelius, receiving the gospel. In a vision Cornelius is told to send for Peter who was at that time in Joppa. Peter also has a vision and God shows him the gospel is for all people not just Israel. Peter goes to Joppa with Cornelius's servants and tells Cornelius and others the gospel.
The lost books of the Bible were not really lost - they were suppressed. The many biblical writings which Jerome chose not to include in the canon of the Bible that we know ofinclude the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Thomas, the Second Gospel of Mark, the Acts of Peter and Thecla, the Second Gospel of Peter ... and many more.
The Church Fathers noticed that 2 Peter 5:13 has Peter refer to Mark as "my son." Unaware that Second Peter is a pseudepigraphical epistle, they assumed this either meant that Mark was indeed the son of Peter or at least that Peter held Mark in high esteem. A tradition subsequently arose that Mark wrote the second gospel based on the memoirs of Peter, although another early tradition was that Mark's Gospel was written as a summary of Matthew's Gospel (the evidence is that Mark's Gospel was actually written before Matthew).Because we now know that 2 Peter was written long after the death of Peter, it can no longer be considered as evidence that Mark even knew Peter. Mark's Gospel was written before Matthew).
A:Conservative Christians regard Mark as the translator who took Peter's experiences and wrote them down in the Gospel that now bears his name, but this is not the scholarly view. The conservative view arose because Mark is mentioned in the pseudonymous epistle, 1 Peter (5:13) as Peter's son, and Papias said that he was also the 'interpreter' for Peter. However, both are second-century sources and rely on Mark having actually been the author of the gospel that now bears his name.The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and it was not until later in the second century that the Church Fathers thought to attribute authors, by which time any evidence as to who the authors were was long lost. The tradition that Mark was the author of the gospel that now bears his name arose around 130 CE, when Papias supposed that he was probably the author. Studies of this gospel have identified probable sources for some of the material in the gospel, good evidence that whatever the various sources were, they were not the words of Peter. So, although it is possible that Mark may have worked with Peter, he was not the writer of a gospel
