Acts of Peter

Japanese: ペテロ行伝 - ペテロぎょうでん(英語表記)Acts of Peter
Acts of Peter
One of the New Testament Apocrypha. It contains the stories of Peter's victory over Simon Magus, the Quo Vadis story, and Peter's upside-down crucifixion. Written in Asia Minor at the end of the 2nd century, it is a book for believers that collects popular traditions. The Acts of Paul and the Didascalia from the first half of the 3rd century seem to have used the Acts of Peter. It seems to have been popular in the church at the time, but the church historian Eusebius, who lived in the early 4th century, denied the value of its testimony.

Japanese:
新約外典の一つ。ペテロのシモン・マグスとの戦いにおける勝利,クオ・ウァディス物語,そしてペテロの逆十字架の処刑などの内容を持つ。2世紀末に小アジアで執筆されたもので,巷間の伝承を集めた信徒のための読物。《パウロ行伝》および3世紀前半の《ディダスカリア》はこの《ペテロ行伝》を用いていると思われる。当時の教会では好んで読まれたようであるが,4世紀初めの教会史家エウセビオスは,その証言の価値を否定している。
