It was once thought that the apostle Peter wrote the two epistles known as First Peter and Second Peter. It was also suggested that Mark wrote the gospel that now bears his name, based on the memoirs of Peter.Most scholars now accept that Peter did not write First Peter and Second Peter. It is also accepted that Mark was unlikely to have been the author of Mark's Gospel, which was originally anonymous and which was not written until approximately 70 CE. So the position now is that Saint Peter made no contribution to writing the New Testament.
According to Acts 4:13, both Peter and his companion John were agrammatoi, a Greek word that literally means ‘unlettered’ or illiterate, meaning Peter could not have written any gospels or epistles. One of the reasons once put forward for Mark as the author of the gospel that now bears his name, was that Peter needed him to write down is recollections about Jesus. However, Bart D. Ehrman (Forged) says producing books in the name of Peter was a virtual cottage industry in the early church. Thus we have (among others) the non-canonical Gospel of Peter and the two canonical epistles attributed to him.
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.
All Bible scriptures have authority for Christians. Since Mark's Gospel is also Holy Scripture inspired by God, it too has authority as God's word of truth.
That account is not found anywhere in the bible. It is found in the apocrphal writings. These are writings that were not accepted into the biblical canon. I am not certain, but I think the account of Peter's death is in a document called the Gospel of Peter.
Mark, who wrote the Gospel of Mark, was a disciple of Peter, who was a disciple of Jesus.
When Jesus left the world and left Peter to lead the church. It says it somewhere in a gospel but I cant remember right now.

The two disciples Matthew and John wrote Gospels about Jesus' life. Many also believe that Peter was an important source for the Gospel of Mark.
Some debate about that one. Originally it was thought to be Matthew, modern scholars think that Mark was the oldest.
You can write it as that but it is better to write the full version.
