Chapters 35 - 41 of the Acts of Peter (2nd century, written by disciple of John). How Jesus appeared to Peter before his death and how Peter had been crucified. This book, recording, music and illustrations are all in PUBLIC DOMAIN. Editing by me. HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE! CHAPTER 35:
PETER (LEAVING ROME TO ESCAPE PERSECUTION) SEES CHRIST GOING TO ROME AND ASKS HIM "WHERE ARE YOU GOING (QUO VADIS)?" CHRIST ANSWERS: "I GO TO ROME TO BE CRUCIFIED." PETER, BEING MOVED, RETURNS TO ROME TO SUFFER MARTYRDOM:
XXXV. And as they considered these things, Xanthippe took knowledge of the counsel of her husband with Agrippa, and sent and showed Peter, that he might depart from Rome. And the rest of the brethren, together with Marcellus, besought him to depart. But Peter said unto them: Shall we be runaways, brethren? and they said to him: Nay, but that thou mayest yet be able to serve the Lord. And he obeyed the brethren's voice and went forth alone, saying: Let none of you come forth with me, but I will go forth alone, having changed the fashion of mine apparel. And as he went forth of the city, he saw the Lord entering into Rome. And when he saw him, he said: Lord, WHITHER GOEST THOU THUS (QUO VADIS)? And the Lord said unto him: I GO INTO ROME TO BE CRUCIFIED. And Peter said unto him: LORD, ART THOU (BEING) CRUCIFIED AGAIN? He said unto him: YEA, PETER, I AM (BEING) CRUCIFIED AGAIN. And Peter came to himself: and having beheld the Lord ascending up into heaven, he returned to Rome, rejoicing, and glorifying the Lord, for that he said: I am being crucified: the which was about to befall Peter.
