Only in Acts of the Apostles is Peter imprisoned. Here he was twice imprisoned, but there is no suggestion that in either case Peter expected to be executed. And, according to Acts, in both cases he was freed by angels.
Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE and therefore just a few years before Acts of the Apostles, briefly mentions the labours of Peter and, in general terms, his death. There is no mention of imprisonment and Clement seems to have believed that Peter did not die for his faith.

How did Andrew Simon peters brother die?
Andrew Simon Peter's brother, Peter, died by crucifixion. According to tradition, Peter was crucified upside down at his own request, as he believed he was not worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus.
Where did Peter say he was not worthy to die like Jesus?
A:The circumstances of Peter's death are unknown:Paul wrote about Peter, who seemed to Paul to be one of the pillars of the church in Jerusalem, but does not mention his death.Acts of the Apostles, written long after Peter's death, mentions many events in Peter's life, but not how or where he died.Around 96 CE, Clement of Rome, possibly the first overall leader of the Christian congregations in Rome but not yet a bishop, wrote briefly about Peter in his epistle, 1 Clement, but seems to have been unaware of where Peter travelled or how he died.Later in the second century, Anicetus, the bishop of Rome, stated that Peter had come to Rome to lead the congregations there, and was beheaded on the orders of Nero. This tradition henceforth made Anicetus and future bishops of Rome the successors of Peter.A century after Anicetus, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down.It is therefore in Rome that Peter would have stated that he was unworthy to die like Jesus, on the word of the third-century Church Father, Origen.
Which disciple did Jesus tell to tarry till he comes back?
A:There is a curious passage in John 21:22-23, where Jesus says to Peter thatif he wills thatthe 'disciple whom Jesus loved' (commonly assumed to be John)tarry until Jesus comes, what is that to Peter?This was a rebuke to Peter, not a command to the beloved disciple, nora prophecy that the beloved disciple would never die or be spared a martyr's death.The next verse saysthatthis saying went abroad, misinterpreted that the disciple should not die, yetJesus said not this, but "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"So, the statement was made to Peter and was about the "Disciple whom Jesus loved," commonly supposed to be the apostle John.
What does the crucifix symbol mean?

Who was the man who kicked Jesus and Jesus told him you will never die until I come back?
You've got a few details mixed up. He never KICKED Jesus. Jesus said to Peter, speaking about John, "...If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me." He didn't say John WOULD live till Jesus comes, He only asked what business it was of Peter's IF Jesus decided that. The verse is John 21:22.
