It is supported by 1 Pet. 5: 13, where 'Babylon' is a code-name for Rome, and by the strong case for linking the Gospel of Mark, who as Peter's companion (1 Pet. 5: 13) is said to have derived its substance from him, with Rome. To early writers like Clement of Rome (c. 95), Ignatius of Antioch (d. c. 107), and Irenaeus (c. 180) it was common knowledge that he worked and died in Rome.
Btw, is the bible the only historic book? No. Peter died in Rome. It is a historical fact.
I'm wondering then if his grave is marked elsewhere, even undisturbed since before 70ad, if they ended up moving the body. The reason I wonder this is because apparently they supposedly moved Mary's body, which caused many people to think she was assumed, and then things got out of hand with that - unless she really was assumed, but that makes no sense with everything else going on...
@krononomikon for instance, maybe he was killed in Rome, and perhaps buried there temporarily, but they went to get the body and move it. I don't know... :( I'll have to look into why everyone says what they do and why they say it to get a better understanding.
@TheRachealmiller If I remember correctly, they'd found the "brother" of Jesus' tomb, wasn't it? Then they speculated that another body in there was Jesus', but it didn't say? I don't remember, because I saw it back when I was younger.
@TheRachealmiller Apparently they found in a tomb in Jerusalem from pre-70 AD an ossuary where there was a spot with bones marked "Simon bar Jonah". Also, there was a Mary and Martha and I think a Lazarus as well. Funny, right? Not only that, it never mentions him going anywhere except Jerusalem in the New Testament. The only other incidence is when Peter says "Babylon", but looking at Revelation, that's Jerusalem. Also, they had to die in Jerusalem as Jesus did, as well as all the righteous.
nice...you really think they're st. peters bones? in your personal opinion. and i think one day imma go to the vatican city and check everything out..always find things like this interesting
God bless Saint Peter. May his earthly body rest in peace and may his soul dwell in Heaven forever because he has the keys to it :)
