The Gospel of Peter (see Online Text) is an early (2nd century) Christian document, now included in collections of NT Apocrypha.

Overview

Some major themes

The Gospel seems to supplement the narrative of Mark (where there was no account of the resurrection) with data from the Gospel of Matthew, reflecting the situation after the destruction of the Temple, when all the entire Jewish population of Jerusalem is collectively blamed for the death of Jesus.

“The Jews, the elders, and the priests realized how much evil they had done to themselves and began beating their breasts, saying, “Woe to us because of our sins. The judgment and the end of Jerusalem are near” (25).

Jesus is still called “the Son of God = The Messiah = the King of Israel”. There is no reference to his divinity. There is no influence from the Gospel of John.

When Jesus died “the centurion… reported: Truly he was a son of God (=a righteous man)! Pilate answered and said: I am clean of the blood of this son of God… (11:45-46).
