Where is the last mention of Peter in the New Testament?
The last mention of Peter in the New Testament is in 2 Peter, which is believed to be written by Peter himself, where he encourages believers to grow in their faith and warns against false teachings.
Which books in the bible are written in pairs?
There are a number of these in both the Old and New Testament. The Old Testament books of 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, and 1 & 2 Chronicles belong in pairs and were probably originally written as one whole book. Luke's two books of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles were stated as being written separately although both addressed to the same person, possibly someone who either requested the work or who sponsored its production and distribution, namely one Theophilus. Other New Testament works which could be paired are the two letters of Peter, 1 & 2 Peter, as well as 1 & 2 Timothy and 1 & 2 Corinthians, written by Paul and paired because written to the same person or group.
Why did Peter write 2 Peter?
A:The author of 2 Peter goes out of his way to insist that he is Peter, as he not only names himself Simeon Peter (2 Peter 1:1), but stresses that he was personally present with Jesus on the mount at the transfiguration (2:16-19). The use of the Hebrew 'Simeon' is one of several giveaways that this epistle was not really written by the Apostle Peter, who would always have used the Aramaic form, from his native language - Simon Peter. The Greek-speaking author of 2 Peter was trying too hard to sound like the apostle Peter. (The KJV corrects this error, translating Simeon into English as Simon, but other Bibles keep the original). The author knew about 'all' Paul's epistles (2 Peter 3:15-16) and thought Paul's epistles were already scripture ('other scriptures' - 2 Peter 3:16), neither of which could have been during Paul's lifetime.The author uses this epistle and Paul's name to attack his own opponents, the 'false prophets', with numerous verbal similarities to what can be found in the New Testament book of Jude. The parallels are so numerous that scholars are virtually unified in thinking that the author has taken Jude's message and simply edited it a bit to incorporate it into his book.When Peter was actually still alive, there was still eager expectation that Jesus would return soon. With the passing of time that the Christian claim that all would take place "within this generation" (Mark 13:30) and before the disciples had "tasted death" (9:1) started to ring hollow. By the time 2 Peter was written, Christians were having to defend themselves in the face of opponents who mocked their view that the end was supposed to be imminent. So 'Peter' has to explain that even if the end is thousands of years off, it is still right around the corner by God's calendar.A:There are two letters attributed to Peter, but New Testament scholars say that neither of them was written by Peter.First Peter was written from Rome and euphemistically refers to Rome as Babylon (1 Peter 5:13), a clue that allows us to date this epistle to the 80s or 90s of the first century. The Christian and Jewish communities began to refer to Rome as 'Babylon' after Rome destroyed the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE, just as Babylon had done centuies earlier.2 Peter was clearly written towards the middle of the second century, although the author goes out of his way to insist that he is Peter, as he not only names himself Simeon Peter (1:1), but stresses that he was personally present with Jesus on the mount at the transfiguration (2:16-19). This epistle was written to oppose Christians of a gnostic persuasion who, from the author's point of view, threatened several ideas the author found central to Christian faith: the prophetic interpretation of the Jewish scriptures, the gospel story of a real Jesus who was also the son of God, the Christian ethic of sexual continence and clean living (holiness), and the apocalyptic view of history.
Why was Apostle Mark's mentor Peter?
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).
In what two passages do New Testament books call other New Testament books Scripture?
One passage that clearly does so: In 2 Peter 3:15 and 16, Peter refers to Paul's epistles in league with "the rest of the Scriptures." (KJV - "the other scriptures.")

How many of Peter's letters are attributed to John?
-----------------------As far as we know, the apostle Peter did not write any letters (1 Peter and 2 Peter are believed to have been written in the second century, using Peter's name). While those attributed to John are unlikely to have really been written by the disciple of that name, there is no good reason to believe that they were written by Peter.
What is First Peter in the Bible?
AnswerThe book known as The First Epistle General of Peter, or either First Peter or 1 Peter, is an epistle or letter believed to have been written by an anonymous author and attributed to the Apostle Peter. It must have been written before 135 CE, since Polycarp refers to 1 Peter in his Letter to the Philippians. First Peter clearly had a different author than 2 Peter, which was written somewhat later. First Peter is considered by scholars to more closely reflect the theology of Paul, than that of the other 'Petrine' epistles, 2 Peter and Jude.
