Extract

The early evidence for the martyrdom of Peter in Rome is extremely exiguous. Perhaps the most important passage is I Clement v. 4. Certainly none other until the end of the second century is equally explicit as to Peter's fate. Therefore it is of some interest that I Clem. v. 4 can itself be completely explained as exegesis of Acts iii-v and xii, especially of v. 17 and xii. 17.

IV (1958), 210 ff.Google Scholar The fullest exposition of the parallelism is that by Davis, G. Jr, ‘Was Peter Buried in Rome?,’ J.B.R. xx (1952), 167 ff. This demonstrates the point-by-point correspondence of the story in Acts xii. to the passion story, using elements from John, Matthew and Mark, as well as Luke.
