The Gospel of Peter is a second-century gospel that deals exclusively with death and resurrection of Jesus. It contains material from all three synoptic gospels, Mark, Matthew and Luke, as well as themes that evolved later.

Where can the lost gospels be read?

A:The 'lost gospels' are those non-canonical gospels such as the Gospel According to the Hebrews, the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas, Infancy Gospel of Thomas and many others. It should be born in mind that these attributions are no more reliable than are the attributions of the canonical gospels to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For scholars, the most important of the non-canonical gospels are the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Peter. A search of the internet will access English translation of some of these texts, and the are also available (with difficulty) in printed form.

What is the Gospel of Peter?

A:The Gospel of Peter is an important non-canonical gospel believed to have been written in the second century. Just as we now know that Matthew and Luke were dependent on Markand that John was dependent on both Luke and Mark, scholars have established that Peter was dependent on all four canonical gospels. 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.

How many Gospels did Peter write?

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.

Why does Peter only walk on water in Matthew's Gospel and not in Mark's Gospel?

The passage in Matthew's Gospel is considered to be an elaboration of the original in Mark's Gospel. The author of Matthew, on several occasions, sought to elevate Peter and portray him as greater than the other disciples; here it is taken for granted that it would be Peter who would be able to emulate Jesus. The passage is entirely missing from Luke's Gospel because it is part of the 'Missing Block', a series of probably thirteen pages missing from the copy of Mark's Gospel that the author of Luke relied on for his knowledge of the life and mission of Jesus.


Did any others disciples write Gospels?

Apart from the gospels attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, there are also gospels attributed to Thomas, Peter, Philip, James and Mary.
